This would end up being a double subscription thing or not? I was under the impression that anything multiplayer/online on the X360 automatically meant one needs to pay for Xbox Live service, then players would need to add a monthly fee on top of that for LotRO or is there another sort of deal in the works?
It would be three in that case. XBOX Live is partially a transport service, partially a matchmaking service, so you've got that, your internet (another transport service) and the game. The big thing is just that you can't normally use the matchmaking servies of xbox live without their closed transport service as well. I still enjoy xbox live on my 360 many times over the service I try to get on my PS3 (which I like for other reasons). The most reason thorn in my side being Age of Booty, which appears to work on my PC and my 360 multiplayer but not n my PS3/PSN (seems to be the case for many people).
I don't mind paying for quality, but since I'm a founding member of LOTRO online I'm hoping that I don't have to pay another subscription to the game itself.
II correct my last. I haven't played in on PC. For some reason I thought I had, then I realized I had to activate it when I started it up. i guess I've just played the PS3 and 360 versions (without much multiplayer success on the PS3)
