Ah. This is, once again, for American players only. Of course I’m happy for you guys, but this two-tier apartheid which Turbine is imposing on its customers (USA v. The Rest of The World) is really getting out of hand. I’m aware that for reasons best known to themselves, Turbine have in effect dumped LOTRO outside the States onto third-party providers, but they might at least have made sure that a rough parity is maintained as far as the provision of goods and services is concerned.
Those familiar with the history of the computer age may care to remember that Apple showed a similar indifference, verging on contempt, for its non-USA customers, with the result that they very nearly lost the European market completely — in fact, for the better part of a decade they barely had a European market…

I suppose it is nice to know that Turbine is listening to someone, but when you can’t have a say in that at all… That’s definitely frustrating.
