I will still search and fight the good fight until I find the game to own all games. |
Definitely...I think Turbine is doing an awesome job of running and keeping LotRo relevant. I've been having fun with AoC, but it's time to go back for the weekend at least. Currently Playing: Aion |
Doubt it, as Book 7 isn't quite yet implemented in the European Servers.

Figured I'd ask my random question here. Which server [North American] is the one all the role-players are on? When I started playing it never occured to me to try to find the "RP Server". I just started up and did my usual solo thing. Just wanted to know where all the role-players hung out. Thanks. What Happened With SWG Went Down YEARS AGO!

I downloaded the hi rez client again, installed and tried to log in my account and said I had to pay for it.
I have a good standing on my credit card, I wasn't banned, nor was my credit card ever declined. I sent them a message and hope to hear back from them, as I want to try the game again I just don't want to pay to see if I like it and then waste 10 bucks if I don't. Hopefully they get back to me and let me know what the problem is. |

I get the feeling the free weekend hasn't started yet, since it is the "26th" and it just barely became the 26th.
(Yes, I checked myself just now hehe). |

I always love it when games do this. I've been wanting to see how this game is these days.

I am in the same situation. I bought the collector's edition back in 2007, played for awhile. Quit in good standing. Spent some time last night downloading and updating the files. It's now nearly 10am and when I try to log on, it says my account has expired. There are no official Turbine posts anywhere as to when this event officially begins. A somewhat odd way to get people to want to spend their money to "return" ;-) Hope I can try it again, otherwise I will just take a pass and keep playing the games that communicate a little bit more effectively than this. Peace now. |

It appears to me that Turbine isn't pushing this Welcome Back program very hard. I was a beta tester and a Founder, but haven't heard a word from Turbine about this. It seems to me that the best way to get vets to return is to send them an email invite. I don't know if I want to d/l the hi-rez client again just for a weekend trial. In the end I probably will, and will probably wonder why I wasted my time. |

Seems they haven't turned it on yet... wish they'd have done a little more in the way of PR for this (like emailing me). |

I didn't receive an email so, no, they didn't send emails to all former account holders. And no, my email addy hasn't changed. |

I guess we just took them too literally. After all, the 26th started at 12:00 AM, so why would we think they really meant 12:00 PM? What's 12 hours amongst friends? |

Plus, not many people I know visit this site regularly, nor would they see the launcher or go to the website of a game they no longer play. Its a good promo, they should have gotten the word out sooner and more consistantly. I've forwarded the link to a couple people now since we all left the game a long time ago there was no one that knew about it. |

Anyone who has an e-mail account knows there are many reasons this could happen. Anyway, as far as things go, they did what anyone would have expected them to do as far as communication.... All avenues were used, its all over the net. What more could you want?
I mean, you guys are saying you haven't heard a word about it, yet your posting in a thread that just happens to be....about it, with a full article on the front page of a site you go to......... The real issue is.... you guys want in...but can't right now...for whatever reason. The announcement went out of the 24th.
