(With plenty of help from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/turbine">Turbine</a>, who provided the prizes.)<br />
<br />
About a month ago, they introduced <a href="http://lotroreporter.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/win-siege-of-mirkwood-and-the-adventurers-pack/">a contest</a>: give a little of your time doing a random act of kindness for someone in-game. Help them through a quest, craft something for them, that sort of thing. Send in a description, and be entered in a drawing to win a <a href="http://www.lotro.com/mirkwood"><em>Siege of Mirkwood</em></a> combo pack. <br />
<br />
The two contest winners <a href="http://lotroreporter.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/random-act-of-kindness-winners/">were announced today</a>, and their stories can be found here. (One of the winners profited even more than expected, in the form of a new friend in addition to her prize.) It's always nice to see players bringing something positive to the community, so our thanks go out to <a href="http://www.turbine.com/">Turbine</a>, <em>LotRO</em> Reporter, and everyone who entered for making Middle-earth a nicer place to be.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/01/20/lord-of-the-rings-online-fansite-contest-winners-announced/">Lord of the Rings Online fansite contest winners announced</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:00:00 EST.

<div align="left">Coming hot off the heels of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/turbine">Turbine</a>'s <a href="http://www.lotro.com/mirkwood/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Siege of Mirkwood</span></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/09/29/turbine-announces-the-release-date-of-the-siege-of-mirkwood-expa/">pre-order announcement</a> comes the <a href="http://www.lotro-europe.com/siege-of-mirkwood/">European</a> pre-order details from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/codemasters">Codemasters</a>. While the European players won't be able to simply upgrade their subscription plans to a multi-month plan to get the expansion for free, they do <a href="http://community.lotro-europe.com/news.php?id=10099&amp;pagename=news&amp;type=News">get a very nice deal</a> on the <a href="http://www.lotro.com"><span style="font-style: italic;">Lord of the Rings Online</span></a> adventurer's pack.<br /><br />European players can pick up the expansion and the adventurer's pack add-on, which offers two character slots and 20 shared inventory slots, for 20 pounds or 28 euros. If you buy the bundle, you get the Harbinger's Cloak and the extra mount (the Dusky Nimblefoot Goat) included. Otherwise, if you just buy the expansion for 15 pounds or 20 euros, you only get the Harbinger's Cloak -- a change from the cloak being offered solely <a href="http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/464-answer-the-call-of-war">in the US adventurer's pack</a>.<br /></div>
