Got a great response from codemasters about my email. Apparently my account has been reverted to a state of active trial, as part of a special promotion.

They said they'd email when that changes.

I like that a lot. Was on earlier on trying to tie up the end of the Prologue but it seems like it'll take me up to around Lvl 14 or 15 by the time I finish my side quests, so maybe I should just go progress the story, and see how that gets on.

so you've effectivley got a free trial until further notice?? excellent news

shame caged missed out on this though

just get to the bit in the prologue when you are asked to meet a certain ranger, and stop there

I'll paste it in, here it i s

Following our announcement on Wednesday regarding the delay of
Free-to-Play in Europe, we can now provide you with a further update as
to its status. It’s not good news I’m afraid. We are currently
anticipating a delay of more than a week, potentially launching around
the end of the month, and are still not in a position where we are able
to confirm an exact date.

As you know, we were tracking a launch date of 10th September and up
until recently thought this was still achievable; however, due to some
major obstacles this date is simply not possible. Many of you have asked
for a detailed explanation as to why this has come to be and why there
wasn’t very much notice of the delay. Regarding the implementation
challenges we talked about, the good news is that our Store and new
servers are just about ready to roll, barring some final, live stress
testing that needs to be performed.

We understand this is disappointing for you, more so because of our lack
of communication in the earlier part of the week coupled with the last
minute bad news. As the situation was changing literally from hour to
hour, we weren’t in a position to tell you anything with any stability
to it.

As we work to bring Free-to-Play to launch here, all eligible players
will still continue to accrue loyalty rewards as per the rewards table
on the website. We’re also laying on a bunch of your favourite live
events on all servers starting next week and we’re introducing a
community competition to allow you to take out your frustration on us
and win some great prizes in doing so. We know this won’t substitute for
the new Store and Enedwaith, but maybe it will make things a little
more fun for you as you wait. Look out for announcements on all of these
things within the next few days.

As always, thanks for your support and patience and a particular thank
you to all of you who took the time to send us personal messages, those
were awesome and really appreciated!

great news – have you played lotro before rapscallion?

I wont be playing on Saturday nights – Mrs Dredlox wouldnt allow it

My hope when starting this thread was that we would play on a fixed day or maybe two days each week. Tuesday seems to suit everyone, one suggestion I made earlier is we also play on Fridays if people want to group up more than once a week

Maybe people would prefer just to play as and when they like, bear in mind though Helms Deep is very unlikey to have more than a handful of players and already the level range is 7 lowest – 18 highest and this is likely to widen unless we somehow roughly play the same amount each week

So can people express a preference – do we play as a group once a week, twice a week, more than this and on what days, or just play as and when we like, mixing up solo and group when people are available, bearing in mind it will be much harder to play together in the long run if we do this?

before you do anything more is it the snowborn server your in?  also a fellowships is basically just another name for a group that you do quests with. a kinship is a clan.

yes it matters – you need to be on the snowbourne server

and you also need to be online at the same time as we are if you want to meet up with us – read up on this thread and add our character names to your friends list, then you can see if we are online – when we are we can speak to you by sending you a private message

just made a new character on snowbourn – Guardian – dwarf – Grimmlash

Ancient Gamer – can you let me know the name of you loremaster and I will add them – also Rapscallion as soon as you have your new character rolled I'll stick their name on the list as well

I'll be on arond 4-6pm today.  If you need me to come on any earlier just let me know.  I will create a new character when I go on.  Do we need any specific race/class or do we have a good mix now?

Ok, got myself a female hobbit burglar called Delvina.
