I've a trial key if the 14 day trial is no longer avaliable. For me, I'm currently waiting for a way for me to be able to pay the subscription fee, but I love this game.

Apprentice Posts: 1 Joined: 9 Jan 2009 | Looks like the codemaster site is the UK version. I am still looking for a US trail version. |

I don't think they seperated NA and Europe servers like WoW did. I used that link and got my trial running just fine. That or I'm playing on the European servers heh. EDIT: The free trial link posted above is indeed for the European client, so don't go upgrading your account through it unless that's where you live/want to play. Sooo, if anyone on the US servers has a buddy key they want to toss me lemme know.

Master Looter  Posts: 1285 Joined: 7 Nov 2007     | I'm tempted because I love LotR, but is this just another MMO? |

Looking For Group  Posts: 120 Joined: 30 Mar 2009  | @Kermi, You could say all MMO's are.. "just another MMO" then again I think personally that LOTRO has a lot to offer. It's not typical in that for example there is no in world PVP, there is PVP but not between the normal world. It's called PvMP (Player vs Monster Player) and offers a break from normal questing. Questing in LOTRO in my humble opinion is much more interesting than in many of the other MMORPGs. In LOTRO you feel (at least I do) more part of the integral storyline than you would in other games. Every quest you do and solve brings you closer to the fellowship, a red-line that keeps coming back to you everywhere. You are following the fellowship and from time to time you will be bumping in to some of it's members and some key figures in the LotR lore. I can still remember the first time in the game I stood before Tom Bombadil and just watching the cheery little fellow as he jumped around singing his songs. Whether or not you feel it is similar to other MMOs, that's entirely up to you, so I would say, give the trial a whirl..if you don't like it...at least you tried. :P "Newton, life is like a penis. When it's hard you get screwed. When it's soft you can't beat it." |

Adventurer  Posts: 275 Joined: 17 May 2009  | Make sure you choose the right class though. I used two free trials a while ago..with one of them I had a great time, the other bored me enough to make me quit after an hour or so. |

Dungeon Crawler  Posts: 776 Joined: 9 Sep 2008   | Might have to check this out if it has a trial. |

Dungeon Crawler  Posts: 677 Joined: 28 Oct 2008 |
warcraft is the god ;) WoW however is still pretty epic, although its kinda hard to compare the two as they belong to two different genres. |
Dungeon Crawler  Posts: 585 Joined: 20 Mar 2009   | You might want to check the extensive review dirk45 made for the game http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.104729 Else than that, i suggest you play the trial if you wanna see first-hand how the game is. |
Adventurer  Posts: 317 Joined: 18 Dec 2008    | There are free trials? Awesome. Two great series made into one game... |

Adventurer  Posts: 432 Joined: 18 Apr 2008   | I played the trial a few months ago.. It really didnt appeal to me. Felt generic :( |

I'm rather interested in giving this game a go, but from what I can tell the only way you can get a trial is from someone who has the game. Is there any other trials available, and with the trial from another person, would I need the game discs or can the client be downloaded? If I need the discs, I'll likely just pick it up next time I'm at the mall, if not, anyone have a trial key they want to give me? ;)
