It's Friday 30 March 2007, do you know where your Hobbits are? If you pre-ordered your copy of Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar you do! Turbine has opened the flood-gates and the seven new servers are UP and available for play!
While they're calling this "Open Beta", it's only open beta for a select few, comparatively speaking. So I guess it's semi-open. TRUE Open Beta starts next Friday Aprith 6th. For the true believers that pre-ordered, head on in NOW and when you're ready to write your review, show your screenshots, or make that GUI add-on... remember that Curse is the place where everyone can contribute!

I started the open beta on friday and I have to say it is a very nice game. I have been playing WOW for about a year now and I find LOTRO just as exciting.
ok, then I'll be waiting a bit. It's enough already, just paying to play WoW... :(
2rbear: Agreed, going to have to check the game out myself as well. :)
People having trouble logging in or it shows the servers as 'closed' to you, please go here: http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=33034
To join open beta NOW you need to have pre-ordered the game thru a retailer. Otherwise you can get in next friday.
Game is not free to play. Same as other games basically unless you pre-order. Pre-orders can choose between $9.99 a month or a $199 Lifetime membership. ;)
Oh, and the game rocks!
This looks like it's gonna be a good game. I'll try it out for sure ;) Anyone got any more info about this? (fees/free to play?, where to get the beta thing, will it be like WoW? How is the gameplay? etc..)
