Didn’t we just do this three weeks ago?
Anyway, the LOTRO Europe site from Codemasters has an announcement up that the exact same promotion from earlier this month will be running again soon.
From October 30th through November 4th, former players can rejoin for free with a fully up-to-date (up to the current Book 14) game and +25% XP. As we learned the first time around, the bonus XP counts only towards each kill XP not quest reward XP.
However, that same Codemasters site also mentions the 14-day trial with links to download when Turbine has temporarily discontinued the trial until Mines of Moria launches.
I’m starting to catch on that Codemasters makes their announcements before we get ours here in the US. Maybe Turbine thinks no one checks websites until after 5pm in the States? Anyway, I expect the US announcement within the next four hours…
The previous bonus weekend this month had my somewhat lower-population server busy, especially in the evenings when every night the “high server load” icon would display.
That’s great as long as it doesn’t interfere with my gaming experience… Arkenstone has been very flaky the past 12 hours for some reason already, and Lore-masters are reporting suddenly our “root” graphics for the Cracked Earth ability is no longer showing. I thought it was just me and was about to submit a bug report when several other players I was whining to switched to their Lore-masters with the same story. It worked perfectly fine last night…
Here’s hoping the servers are normal before this bonus weekend arrives.
