Lord of the Rings Online Announcement

A message from the producer of Lord of the Rings Online:

“We’ve had a very successful Beta program with some of the largest and most active beta player populations we’ve seen since Moria. The amount and quality of  feedback on our largest expansion ever has been fantastic,” said Kate Paiz, Executive Producer of The Lord of the Rings Online™.  

“Thanks to some great efforts from beta players, we’ve identified issues that we think need to be addressed before we can launch. In order to address those issues and meet our expectations for quality we’re going to need more time. As a result, we’ve elected to delay our launch to October 15th.”

“We understand that many players have been looking forward to joining us in Rohan as soon as possible and will be disappointed by this news. As a token of our appreciation for your patience we are granting a gift to all pre-purchasers of Riders of Rohan.” 

“We thank you for your feedback and patience and hope to see you all in Rohan later this year.”

NOTE: As a result of the delay, players who have pre-purchased The Lord of the Rings Online: Riders of Rohan will receive 500 Turbine Points and a goodie bag of consumables. These gifts will be credited on or around September 5th to any account that has pre-purchased by that date. For more information on the goodie bag, as well as a list of in-game events being held in the interim (including a celebration of Frodo and Bilbo’s birthdays), please visit http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdiaries/2365-letter-from-the-producer-riders-of-rohan-update
