Free LOTRO and £10 points card for 'LOTRO'

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 16:04:00 +0000

Just in case you didn't already know, The Lord of the Rings Online has now joined the ranks of the free to play MMORPG's and you can technically play without handing over a penny, check out lotro.com if you want more.

Introducing an innovative new pricing model, players will be able to download the game and play for free as well as purchase expansions, quest packs, items, and account services à la carte from the new LOTRO Store opening on Tuesday 2nd November 2010.

Following Lord Of The Rings Online's free-to-play relaunch earlier this week, Codemasters is giving away five 1000 points cards (valued at around £10) to spend in the game's store, allowing you to purchase additional character slots, potions and expansion packs.

We'll be giving the points away. Follow the instructions at that time to be in with a chance.

Note that this is for UK entrants only and that our decision is final.

The free-to-play version of Lord Of The Rings Online is available from lotro-europe.com.

Codemasters Online has announced the launch of free-to-play Lord of the Rings Online in Europe.

Players can now download Lord of the Rings Online and join other adventurers as they explore Middle-earth and progress up to level 50 for free.

Players can also choose to visit the new LOTRO Store to purchase expansions, quest packs, items, and account services à la carte, or join the VIP program that provides unlimited access to the game for a monthly price.

The game has also been expanded with the introduction of the new region of Enedwaith.

"We are thrilled to finally be able to launch LOTRO as a free-to-play game and introduce the new store and updated content in Europe today. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our players for their patience. It is very much appreciated," said David Solari, vice president and general manager of Codemasters Online. "We anticipate the LOTRO's new free-to-play model will significantly increase our customer base and we look forward to welcoming everyone to Middle-earth."

Lord of the Rings Online can be downloaded for free from lotro.com.

Free-to-play is fast becoming the go-to method for turning a flagging MMO into a successful game. Turbine's Dungeons & Dragons Online was rejuvenated by the appeal of free play back in autumn 2009, attracting one million players and recording a 500 per cent boost in revenues.

There's no reason Lord of the Rings Online can't match or better the success of D&D.

LOTRO Video tutorial: Exploring Mines Of Moria

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 07:16:00 +0000

This time we feature a Lotro tutorial having to do with TheCoffinLady exploring Mines Of Moria - she's killing some goblins along the way, too. I'm reaching out for my Nikon Coolpix P90 to make some shots and make a photomontage

Nice music, too:

Blood - Progenie
Blood - Vudú

LOTRO client crashes all the time :(

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 13:21:00 +0000

Normally, it would happen 5 or, say, 10 times a day - each play session, and naturally results in me being killed or missing out on something important.

I'm really pis*** off. I don't know why this is happening.

Worts part is, I can see no pattern to it.
It frequently occurs when fighting or even when I'm on horse travelling from town to town.

My setup is quite advanced: no problems with any other games at all.

Win XP 32 bit
1 x Enermax Infiniti Modular 650W PSU
1 x Asus P5K Deluxe Wi-Fi (Intel P35 - 1333 FSB Conroe/Penryn)
1 x Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Retail (4x2.40GHz 1066FSB 8Mb)
1 x Scythe Infinity Heatpipe Cooler (all CPUs)
2 x A-Data DDR2-1000 2x1024MB Extreme Edition Dual Channel Kit
1 x 150Gb Raptor 10000 16mb E-SATA

1 x 500GB WD Caviar RE2 7200 16mb Cache SATA II NCQ
1 x BFG Nvidia 8800GTX OC 768Mb PCIe HDCP

I've optimised all my settings as recommended, with page file etc but I don't know what to say.

Is there anything else I can do?

Newest addition to the Creatures section - The Guaradan

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 15:35:00 +0000

Today Turbine folks added a new creature...

Creatures of Middle-earth: Gauradan
The Gauredain, or Wolf-men, are fierce followers of the Witch-king of Angmar and hold an ancient affinity for the Wolves of the North. These savage men use their fearsome behavior to terrify their prey, though even more terrifying is the rumor that they eat flesh…any flesh…

A real Hobbit hole house

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 06:38:00 +0000

Just for a change - no LOTRO videos now, but a jawdropping story about a man who built himself a real Hobbit hole house. Just couldnt resist to reprint this. Enjoy.

"A Low Impact Woodland Home" by Simon Dale

Now I had originally intended to take you on a tour through the various hobbit holes that exist in our wonderful world, but it turns out that as a group, those who tend towards these houses apparently disdain the creation of a decent website, and even further hate actual content. So I am grateful for Simon Dale, the man behind "A Low Impact Woodland Home", who has provided me with great photos, and has a fantastic website.

Simon, with his wife, father in law and two young children spent 4 months building what they have termed a low impact woodland home, which is now their family home. An estimated 1000-1500 man hours and £3000 were put in to what is, in my opinion, a dream home.

Simon, who is more than willing to tote the fact that he is in no way an architect or certified builder, believes that a house of this scale is within the reach of any able-bodied person.

The house, which was built with a maximum regard for the environment around it, is dug soundly into the hill around it. The idea of earth sheltering for housing is not a new idea either, and is more than just a "nifty hippie" way to help the environment; it also helps your bank account. When built into the ground, such a house will retain heat in the winter, and be very cool in the summer.

The dirt from the diggings into the hill provided the basis for the foundations and retaining walls, and a mud and turf, when combined with a plastic sheet, makes for the perfect roof.

Wood from the surrounding woodland provides not only heat but also wood for the frame of the house.

So the mysterious hobbits aren't the only ones that believe that living in the ground is a feasible way of life. Seeing the houses like these gives me hope that - given the right amount of money - I’ll soon be living in my very own ecologically friendly home. Just as long as I have my computer, a light for my reading, and the internet, I should be happy.

Have a S-M-I-L-E - an offbeat LOTRO video :)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 06:04:00 +0000

Here is a LOTRO video submitted by my blog visitor - she wrote:
"That's a heck of a list of videos you have there :D
Just wanted to add mine to it.
Its called S-M-I-L-E and it isn't really a music video as its a more a comedic monologue with background music... so.. um..not really sure what it comes under."

Thanks for the vid Steph! Actually, I got a label for this kind of LOTRO ingame stuff - off-beat videos, and that's the stuff I enjoy most of all among whatever kind of videos fellow LOTRO players happen to produce - just like stuff where author enjoys the realm of LOTRO and just wanders around and does all kinds of weird things - possible only in virtual reality. Or, as Steph worded it, "Just a bit of sillyness in all the doom and gloom."

And I'm not alone - S-M-I-L-E video apparently appealed to spectators. One of most recents comments was "I took a break from slashing stuff up and getting covered in gore, and had a smile." - so have a real good smile :)

Guys and gals - I'd LOVE you to contribute to my collection, you're always welcome aboard!

If the music folder is not there, don't panic. Just create a new folder and name it Music. This will be the folder that you put all the prewritten music.Step 2: All the files that are readable by lotro are written in ABC format. If you don't know what that is, google it or check out the official ABC website here: http://www.walshaw.plus.com/abc/. To create a ABC file either open up a text document or download a ABC editing program such as Mid2Abc at http://claremusic.tripod.com/music.htm.Step 3: Either write the ABC language or just paste in the musical piece you collected into the text file (or whatever you are using). Then save it as songname.abc (or whatever you want to name your song, just keep it short as you will have to write this out every time you want to play the song and make sure you save it as .abc) in the ...My DocumentsThe Lord of the Rings OnlineMusic.Step 4: Finally, when you are in game, start playing music just like you would any other time with the /music. Then just type /play songname.abc (or whatever you named your song). Then your character will began playing the tune you prepared in advance.A good resource to check out is the official lotro forum http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=40311 where they have started a nice collection of ABC format tunes.If you have anymore questions or tips don't hesitate to post...(You can also convert midi song files to abc, but its a little more complicated...I will try to post something on that sometime in the future or someone else can try to tackle that monster)

There's not going to be a new region in Book 10 but the whole city of Annъminas will be opened up, and a lot more things will be happening there."And then there's some new type of gameplay that players haven't been able to do yet that they'll be able to do in Book 10."Advertisement:Sadly, Steefel wouldn't elaborate further, leaving us scratching heads and wondering what the new type of gameplay could be. Nor would he commit to a release date for Book 10 - "I don't want to get too specific because whatever date I pick someone will hold me to it for the rest of my life."However, he did promise that LotRO players "should expect to see multiple updates in a year, separate from expansion packs - just more content for their subscription."More: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=166611
