Thought I'd drop this in here for those who've acquired buddy keys...

Client download: (US Version only)

You should get an option to create an account after the game has been installed and after you apply any needed patches etc. Make sure you update the game first before using your buddy key for maximum play time.

Please note: The High res textures are not included in the buddy download. The high res pack is 1.6 GB, and can be found at various torrent sites (you need bit torrent to be installed to download them).

The file you need is called client_highres.dat - it should be placed in your LOTRO install directory.

Is that link just for the US download?
Codemasters runs the EU version so it's pretty important to tell the EU people if that link is useful or not.
:)

Ahh sorry, yep - that link is the US version download. Will amend my post accordingly.

EU client downloads:

These are the links to the beta, so if you have problems with the patcher (like if it says it's version 0.0), follow these steps:

Open the file TurbineLauncher.exe.config in notepad and substitute the <appSettings> section with this:

<appSettings>
<add key="Launcher.DataCenterService.GLS" value="http://lotroeugls.com/GLS.DataCenterServer/Service.asmx" />
<add key="DataCenter.GameName" value="LOTROEU"/>
<add key="DataCenter.DefaultCenter" value="LOTROEU"/>
<add key="Product.DocumentFolder" value="The Lord of the Rings Online"/>
<add key="Launcher.DocumentFolder" value="Launcher"/>
</appSettings>

Save and start the launcher then click on Continue for patching

After the patch the launcher will restart - click Continue

Howdy. I just created a site where you can create a lotro build and rate other player's builds. I tried to make something similar to the City Of Heroes / Villains character builder that was an awesome resource for those games.

Check it out at http://www.lotrobuilder.com

You can send me email directly at feedback@lotrobuilder.com


Hope you like it...

It links to a download to the Turbine website. Is this a US version, EU version, or one that works for both US AND EU buddy keys?
