Isn't it funny? People are always clamoring to get into closed betas but once an MMO launches, test servers are usually pretty empty, even for special events.
Turbine has decided to
offer some great incentives for players to participate in their upcoming
Lord of the Rings Online performance test and is giving away several high-powered computer accessories and making sure the devs are online to interact with.
Subscribers and even trial-account holders can log into the
Bullroarer public test server between 9:00PM and 11:00PM Eastern on Thursday, May 14 and have a shot at winning:
- Two (2) first prizes - AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition CPU + OCZ Platinum 4GB DDR3 SDRAM
- Five (5) second prizes - OCZ Vertex 60GB MLC Solid State SATA II Hard Drive
- Ten (10) third prizes - ATI Radeon HD 4890 Video Card
- Twenty (20) fourth prizes - Signed copy of The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria
In order to qualify, you must play the entire two hours of the event and be a resident of the United States. Disconnects will not disqualify you as long as you log back in immediately. You can
download the Bullroarer client here. Good luck!
