Well, I am too pumped about LotRo: SoA (Lord of the rings online: Shadows of Angmar) and I about 30 minutes ago ordered the gold edition of the game. It should include a free mount to ride 10 levels before you actually should be able to ride one (35 is the requirement to get a mount, like its 40 in WoW, but this special one requires me to be level 25 only, no costs at all too!) so it should be awesome. It also comes with a (shiny) steel case, which is also awesome and it also includes all the books (updates) up to book 12, where book 13 just got released. (only 1 download, yay!) So when I get the game, I might be able to play it within 1 hour. Yessir!
It should also include some in-game housing items. A unique floor mat for when you enter the house, some lights aswell and some other thing I cant remember :D. And I've made a massive thread on the forums with 20 questions and they got answered by an awesome guy whom actually made the game look even better. So that made my hyped. Then I looked on youtube for some other cool things, I found, PvMP (Player vs. Monster Play) which is LotRo's answer to PvP. When you get to level 10 you unlock MP and then you start as a high level bad guy. Then you fight high level good guys and thats the PvP in this game. It should be so fun to play. You can even earn destiny points (in WoW its honor points) which allows you to unlock different bad guys, mountain troll etc. Cant wait to swing my club at small hobbits :D.
I also found out I can run the game over the recommended level, soo, yahoo!
The package also includes 45 days of free gameplay time instead of 30 so thats a plus too!
The gold edition costs $45 while the normal one costs $20 (Wow, I just saw a big difference!) anyhow, I think the extra money spent is worth it. I mean, I am a die hard Tolkien fan and I haven't tried this yet. Not even the trial! So I am taking a big risk by just buying the game like that.
I am going to be a dwarf defender since I love to tank :D.
But I cant wait so if you would excuse me, I want to find some more awesome things about this game!
Later!
