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. <a href="http://turbine.com/">Turbine</a> has decided to <a href="http://www.lotro.com/news/413-play-with-turbine-devs-during-the-lotro-performance-event-and-win-cool-prizes">offer some great incentives</a> for players to participate in their upcoming <a href="http://download.lotro.level3.turbine.com/largecontent/lotro/Bullroarer/updater/live/LOTRO-US-Bullroarer-MoMBook7-Downloader-HighRes.exe"><em>Lord of the Rings Online</em></a> performance test and is giving away several high-powered computer accessories and making sure the devs are online to interact with.<br /> <br /> Subscribers and even trial-account holders can log into the <a href="http://na6.salesforce.com/_ui/selfservice/pkb/PublicKnowledgeSolution/d?orgId=00D80000000L4s5&amp;id=50180000000OOQD&amp;retURL=%2Fsol%2Fpublic%2Fsolutionbrowser.jsp%3Fsearch%3Dbullroarer%26cid%3D02n800000001SCe%26orgId%3D00D80000000L4s5%26t%3D4&amp;ps=1&amp;pPv=1">Bullroarer public test server</a> between 9:00PM and 11:00PM Eastern on Thursday, May 14 and have a shot at winning:<br /> <br />
