Got an email about the promotion, but my account is still inactive :(
So much free time! Free month of SWG for vets, free week of AoC, and now a free week of LOTRO.
Well LOTRO is always giving out free welcome back weekends it seams every other week is welcome back week. Then our servers get overloaded and after the free week folks disapear again.
Tells me that Turbine has some issues with player base and is in need of more subs.
It's fun to hope in and play now and than. But I doubt I could resub to it.
I'm actually getting sick of these...
Usually they are given out after a new book releases or a special event (2nd anniversary). I guess the reason it seems like they do it a lot is because soooo much free content is being added. I guess I shouldn't complain. I usually avoid the game during the "Welcome Back" weekends.
EQ also has a free month promotion for people to try out their new lvl 50 server (all expansions included).
It has nothing to do with needing more subs (of course, they would hope to gain some, who wouldn't), a new book was recently released with new content. they do this every time.
If you feel they should stop doing this, then you feel they should stop adding major chunks of new free content to the game.

Yes they do it everytime, if not to try and get more subs just what is the reason?
