Well, this is good news for me. I was going to subscribe on the 31st to get the longest time I could with SoM, but I forgot about it and the date passed. If I buy a 3 month plan, I want it to be as close to the SoM launch as possible because frankly, I don't very much like LOTRO, but I think the gameplay is enjoyable enough to warrant checking out new content and a few of my friends also play. Maybe if SoM is a complete detour from MoM, I may stick with the game because past Moria is the point in which I can only see the game becoming more fantastic and with more dramatic narrative. Also, the hope for more PvP content what with all the battles that take place.
