Buying the Shadows of Angmar gold edition (R60) gives you 45 days free play. It's plenty to get into it and it allows you full access to everything unlike trial versions. Really worth it, imho.

Permissions.

The R60 one gives you full access to the game (excluding expansions obviously). The free version is pretty much like a Trial version without a time limit.

You get to see what the game is like, but you're locked out of a lot of it. E.g. you can only have a certain amount of gold, only 1 character per server, no "fast mount", limited "BG's", limited bank slots, so on...
 
So LOTR going free is not really going to be free technically? So you would still need to pay subs to get the "full" experience, am I correct in this thinking?

Im actually looking forward to playing this a little as i come from a mmo background.. I prefer them over FPS just because it rewards you for hard work not lucky shots or hiding behind doors. Does anyone know if we are/will/is a South African server or do most of you play off the European ones

Codemasters is running the Euro servers, no SA ones.
 
I are definitely buying this TOMORROW!!!
I will need to hook up the updates from someone here in JHB though. Private message me if you can oblige, plox

Also, i want to know if this game is DX11 or DX10 or DX9 or what?
 
Awesome. I have a feeling the business models for gaming is going more this route everyday. Those crappy facebook games showed just how...

haha brilliant! so true, i would never pay a monthly fee for a game, unless i had a well-paid job. i have the feeling though that there is an untapped market in the "poor-students" lol

EDIT:Also, i want to know if this game is DX11 or DX10 or DX9 or what?
