so lord of the rings online is now free...

i'm happy about this mmo. i just started playing it again (for free hehehe) and i'm having a good time. i just wanted to share this with anybody who's bored or curious. they made alot of changes too with even an option of actually buying junk from the online store. awesome casual mmo. so far so good lotro. i'm Volgrin on Firefoot.

They are lagg'n "Runes Of Magic" is still the best F2P MMO i checked out LoTR and it's just doesn't have it. If you think LoTR is great then you should check out RoM i would give it the 2nd best MMO over all, behind the King WoW BUT RoM is FREE. Thats until Star Wars The Old Republic and Guildwars 2 are released.

oooo thanks for the heads up. i must check it out. is it a big download to get started?osan0

Interesting. Might be worth a look...

Isn't RoM heavily cash shop dependent?

Yes and no, you don't need to spend RL money at all, you can buy shop things with in game gold from players.

I was looking at it too. I couldnt find any decent info on the site describing how you to be Premium or VIP. I read that if you buy anything at all, you get upgraded to premium. But then I read elsewhere that Premium is a month-to-month STATUS....

So, my question is to be VIP you have to continue to pay a monthly fee?

And to be premium, is it a 1 time purchase or do you need to make continual purchases?

One real money purchase makes you Premium for the life of the account. VIP is just fancy for Subscriber. carlosjuero

Thanks for the clarification!
