Whoa, dude! Cut back on the caffeine.  Perhaps if you gave us some details, we might be more sympathetic.

I use skooma so that I can work harder and longer and make more money so I can buy more skooma. I don't see a problem.

Yeah I'm not sure what he's talking about either... It sounds like he has an old LOTRO account that he applied the expansion too.... not sure though.

Does Mines include the original game?   If so, to get the free month did he have to open a brand new account?

Well, if this is how LOTRO makes their business, i will not even attempt to try the game, due to fear that they may just sign me up for a subscription, lol, but yeah, do tell us a bit more, did you get into a conversation with any staff from LOTRO?

Be a little more specific please.

You know I also find a profanity filled, somewhat ambiguous rant on a website that has absolutely no control over the company i am angry with, helps solve my problems as well.

I ordered number 7, NUMBER 7!! I bleeping checked it! Bleep your cheese and cold french fries!!

DIET coke!?

Its the last penny you'll see from me.

 

Bleep you Ronald Mcdonald!!!!!

 

Sorry to take the piss mate, but if you could do us the favor of giving us a concise and rational account of what exactly you are steamed about, we might have a more sympathetic ear.  We may even have some useful advice.

I find that most of the time the problem is that the customer doesn't know how to read... Or just doesn't care to read, and assumes a lot... I could be wrong.

No, you aren't wrong. Not by a longshot. Even though most people can read, I believe the majority are *functionally* illiterate. The OP seems a case in point. But, boy can he use the swears!

MMO 101:  When you buy a new game, you must subscribe to that game, and provide a credit card. However, you will not be charged for your first paying month, until your free month is over. You can cancle at any time during that free month.

To get the free month you either have to have a new account or upgrade a trial account. You won't get the free month if you are adding MoM to an existing (active or expired) account.

Never try to teach a pig to sing,it wastes your time and annoys the pig.

 Wow!  Colour me lucky.  I got the free month when I upgraded an existing account.  I guess I owe Turbine $10.

That was bleeping hilarious! Have a kudo.

And while we are it ...

Bleep you ABN Amro bank, for needing two bleepingly useless appointments and letting me wait an hour staring at your bleeping 'specialist's' system, hoping it would finally start up which it didn't and ending up SENDING me the contracts for a new business account by mail, It's bleeping pathetic!!!

Not so sure about the last part, but what I can say about the OP is that I tend to believe that he didn't read what he was signing up for... don't blame Turbine for your ignorance.

perhaps it was because I did the digital download and didn't by the boxed edition.

I guess he will never play a MMO then because all online games need a credit card info before you can even play. To do the tryout they need a credit card info, that doesnt mean they will be charging you unless it goes past that trial time. So all you have to do is give them the info let it accept then go back into it and cancel it and you have your free trial. :)

i guess you're allowed to use this kind of language as long as you're not posting in the DFO section.

Incorrect. You get the free month with the boxed version.

 

With that deal they had going recently (over now) Technically, Turbine paid you 5$ to play for the first month.

I just got the Mines of Moria a few weeks ago and I don't recall ever seeing a free month. I had an existing account though. I had the option for the 3 month special where it was $9 dollars a month which is pretty reasonable. I wouldn't leave a game over $9. You are only hurting yourself since not much better is out there.

The OP is upset about being charged the monthly sub amount after the first free month? He must be new to MMOs. Because this is the way EVERY SINGLE subscription based MMO works.

 

Noob.
