The LOTRO Game Servers will be brought down on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 4:00AM Eastern (-5 GMT) to prepare for the launch of the Head Start of The Lord of the Rings Online? Volume III: Allies of The King, Book 2: The Ride of the Grey Company.
Head Start Information!
Open to current and former subscribers as well as recent participants in the closed beta, The Lord of the Rings Online? Head Start begins 09/08/10. Players who join us for this event get exclusive access to play early. The head start allows all participants to fully experience the new game content and features, including the new region of Enedwaith, the new LOTRO store and the Free-to-Play option, before the general public is admitted on 09/10/10. Reserve your character names on the new servers, play the new content first, or simply get a jump on trying out the latest game features. It all begins on September 8th!
NOTE: The head start will happen on the live game servers. Current and former subscribers as well as recent participants in the closed beta may be able to patch up and start playing as early as the 7th, dependent upon server availability. Beta players who did not previously play on the live service will need to download and install the live game client prior to playing, and will log into the live servers using their beta logins, which will be converted to live accounts in time for the beginning of the head start on 09/08/10. The Beta (Bullroarer) game software will not work to access the head start. To download the live game client go here for the standard version and here for the high res version.
