Tomorrow is Veteran's Day, and you know what that means: Incredible savings on MMO expansions! Well, that and honoring the brave soldiers that fought in wars. But also the expansion thing.
For 11/11, Turbine is offering a few great deals for Lord of the Rings Online players. First up is a new exchange rate of $11.11 for a 1111 Turbine Point bundle (locking in a decent 1:1 TP-to-penny ratio) for the LotRO store. For any players lacking one of the expansions, both Mines of Moria and Siege of Mirkwood are half-off at 1248 TP and 998 TP, respectively. Shrewd shoppers can also pick up a Moria-capable goat mount, the Valour virtue, two fun emotes and XP boosts for 50% off the normal price.
Mines of Moria unlocks all of the quests and deeds for this level 50-60 zone, as well as the Rune-keeper and Warden classes, while Siege of Mirkwood opens up the titular area and increases the level cap to 65. This sale ends at midnight EST on November 11th, so move quickly if you want to take advantage of this offer!

Dude, we get it. You don't like LoTRO. Grow up and move on. You claim LoTRO isn't good enough to play, but it's enough to troll on every Turbine related article?
LoTRO is good enough to warrant the price. In fact, it's the highest quality MMO on the market, in my opinion. Let people come to their own conclusions about its quality.

After a week of F2P I decided to subscribe to the game - I was having just that much fun. With the points I've accumulated so far and the discount on the store, I picked up MoM and the Goat from the strore ^_^
One question though: is there any reason to pick up SoM? The Skirmish system is already in place, it doesn't unlock anything (like Warden/RK from MoM) and seems to only add quests/storyline for LV60+. So I could wait to get it then, no?

I think you have it right. It is just high level content afaik.
I'm bummed it's only on sale for today and not for the weekend or anything. I was doing pretty good with resisting spending any money on the game but this might put me over the line.

Took my warg out for a routine romp in the tiny area called the ettens, barren as usual.
One thing that puzzled me about this article though, why would Turbine slash prices on anything if the game is free to play?
Oh...........they mean free to pay. (Easy now!)
