Lord of the Rings Online: Now free to play

 Lord of the Rings: Online, a MMORPG based on the LOTR universe is now free to play.

Since the game was launched in 2007, the game has been primarily a pay-to-play subscription service, similar to World of Warcraft and many other online games. As of September 9th, the game is now completely FREE to anyone who wants to play.

Personally, I haven't played the game at all. My only exposure to MMORPGS has been my short affair with WoW a few years ago. They did happen to have a booth promoting the game at PAX this year, and handed out cards with redeemable codes to gain in-game money. I actually may check this out.
