Ques­tions always come with a new press release, espe­cially for an expan­sion. Tur­bine has clar­i­fied a few things on the forums so far:

Mar­ketroid On Price and Edi­tions:

Since this seems to have turned into the main thread on the topic I’ll address a cou­ple of things that have come up.

The announce­ment today didn’t con­tain pric­ing since we’re focused on announc­ing the game fea­tures and doing pre­views at PAX. A sub­se­quent announce­ment with those details will be out later. But since it’s being asked, here’s the scoop:

  • Siege of Mirk­wood will have a base price of $19.99. As with Moria last year, we’re going to have a set of early upgrade offers that are very com­pelling. We’re not quite ready to unveil those details yet, but we’ll keep you posted.
  • The epic story con­tin­ues on in Vol­ume 3 as a reg­u­lar con­tent update early next year.
  • Some of the improve­ments to the game com­ing with Mirk­wood will ben­e­fit every­one, but the key fea­tures will require the Mirk­wood upgrade.

Hope­fully this clears things up a bit.

Token Rewards Are Back

You might have noticed that token bar­ter­ing was added back into LotRO with no real announce­ment. For those unaware, killing mobs ran­domly awards you with dif­fer­ent types of tokens. Col­lect five of a sin­gle type, turn it in to the spe­cial NPC in major towns and you’ll receive a rare item. The higher the enemy level, the bet­ter the token and thus the bet­ter the item.

Tur­bine has announced that this pro­gram will be run­ning all the way to Novem­ber 4th. Last time this drove down prices on rare class quest items sig­nif­i­cantly … So I’d rec­om­mend watch­ing the Auc­tion House for any­thing you don’t man­age to get yourself.

If you’re not sure what you’ll need, check out this list. A lot of these items are really dif­fi­cult to get and many have required you to raid (or trade with some­one who has). If you’re like me, this is prob­a­bly the best route to get your items together.
