Didn't see your post, I made one as well.

Does "* Offer available only to former players of LOTRO with a paid online subscription in good standing at the time the subscription expired." mean that if you cancelled in your free month you aren't elegible?

Would be cool if someone with an active account could confirm this on official forums.

I would assume you would get to play as you used a key of a purchased game...

  I was actually thinking about picking this game up again and just got this e-mail tonight. Will give me a good chance to see what's happened with the game in the last year.

 On that topic, what does everyone think about the game at this point? I stopped playing about a year ago, not really for any reason other than my comp was dying and I just never picked it back up again. MoM is looking good, just want to get a few opinions from people playing right now.

Ya did buy retail copy at launch but cancelled in my free 30 days. I hope your right cause I would like to check this game out again. The wording worries me though, guess we will see tomorrow.

if you are looking for a MELLOW game that makes really good use of dx10 then why not check it out? oh theres the 8 hour download, or the 3 hours of patching.. but yea if vanilla tickles your fancy hit it!

good standing wording is like that so they dont reopen banned accounts....like all the gold farmers and power leveling spammers.

I'd say the game's pretty nice. It's good-natured, people are usually mellow, friendly to answer questions. And it is less seizure-inducing than WoW in terms of colours, heh. Not that WoW is bad, mind you, just a different approach.

But, hey, it's free weekend, so you can check it out pretty nicely! :)
