Kotaku reports:
"Midway, Turbine, and Codemasters are completely freaking ecstatic to announce that The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angamar, or LOTRO as we affectionately call it, is the #1 PC game in North America, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. According to the most recent industry reports (see the release), the power of Tolkien and the popularity of the films have brought PC gamers out in droves to get a chance to frolic in Middle Earth."
Turbine today announced the launch of beta client for The Lord of the Rings Online for Mac. Mac users in Europe can play the award-winning free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) on Mac starting from today, including the recently released Riders of Rohan expansion.
Developers are turning to the free-to-play model in order to maintain player bases and gain revenue. Is this a viable strategy?
Albatross Revue are happy to present these screenshots to show some of the exciting in-game rewards that can be earned during the five-year anniversary festival activities as well as some of the gifts that players will receive automatically as a thank you for playing. Rewards will be given according to how long a player has been playing. Lord of the Rings Online celebrates its five year anniversary on April 24, 2012
they would bring this game to consoles as I have given up on the pc as a gaming medium. Getting just the video card alone to play most of these games is more money than buying a 360 outright and you can buy all three systems for well under the price of a decent gaming pc.
