Lord of the Rings Online.

Now that it has been revealed that Lord of the Rings Online will become free to play.. Will anyone try it out? Or maybe... Migrate! *insert dramatic music*

I dunno about myself.. I will most likely start to play it more.. (Free games! Wooh!)

*waves* I'm already there

Anyway, before everyone starts storming off, the F2P thing sounds more fun then it actually is.

Read this page and be sadly disappointed:

Now basically, what it means is that, if you are completely new and have never bought the game, you can only create 1 character per server. If you are an old subscriber, then you get 3.

However, I can say from experience, you cannot place this game beyond level 20 as a free player without some serious grinding. There's also a pretty harsh gold limit which will be annoying.

For RP, this actually is quite nice however! You can create a character, level him or her to 20 and RP forever without making costs. Also, something the FAQ doesn't cover is that you will be able to explore the ENTIRE base world (Eriador) instead of only the Shire, Ered Luin and Bree-Land. What they mean with the starter zone limit is that you can undertake quests in these zones whereas you can't in the other zones. You can explore them freely though, a big plus for RP. However, beware those level 50 wolves

I'm a subscriber at the moment and will probably continue to be one at the moment this new system kicks in. That means I will be a VIP as they call it and have all the game's features and updates for free (excluding big expansions). That also means I will have some fun toys at disposal to help you all out, if you are interested in Lotro of course.

Well, I'm pretty happy on WoW SWC, but I don't rule out the possibility that I could be happier elsewhere. Especially if all of you were there too. I've already toyed with the thought of migrating the guild to Defias Brotherhood, which is RPPvP and has a much older (and slightly larger, and marginally more grown-up) RP population. And while I have no plans to leave WoW (just way too excited about Cata for that), my ears are open.

Well, I'm not considering ditching WoW, at least not in any near future.
