If you're a European fan of <a href="http://www.lotro.com"><em>Lord of the Rings Online</em></a>, <a href="http://www.play.com">Play.com</a> has <a href="http://competition.play.com/Competition_Popup.asp?id=847">a special new promotion</a> just for you to help celebrate the second anniversary of the game. From now until May 17th, you can enter to win a free trip from London to Boston to visit the birthplace of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/lotro"><em>LotRO</em></a>. A lucky winner and a friend will enjoy three nights in Boston and dinner with the <a href="http://www.turbine.com">Turbine</a> developers. The competition involves answering one simple question on their <a href="http://competition.play.com/Competition_Popup.asp?id=847">registry page</a> and meeting their terms and conditions that apply. <br /><br />So this is your chance, EU players! Show the rest of the world how much of a <em>LotRO</em> fan you really are, and let them be jealous as you dine with the devs. Besides <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston,_Massachusetts">Boston</a> being a beautiful city, you'll have three whole days and nights to enjoy America. We'll try to hold off any pending gang wars until you're gone.<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/2009/05/07/win-a-trip-to-dine-with-turbine/">Win a trip to dine with Turbine</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 07 May 2009 12:00:00 EST.

When we last reported on <a href="http://www.warhammeronline.com"><em>Warhammer Online's</em></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/02/chaos-panic-disorder-war-ce-pre-order-rundown/">pre-order foibles</a>, we knew that the confusion was far from over. There were too many variables going into the distribution of those promotional codes for everything to go strictly according to plan. Predictably, there's some confusion coming in the wake of WAR Europe's announcement that <a href="http://www.war-europe.com/#/news/?id_news=en63&amp;lang=en">Play.com would soon be distributing the pre-order packs</a>, which include the codes for the Open Beta, the head start, and the exclusive in-game items.<br /><br />The problem is, European customers who ordered through Play <a href="http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40386">have evidently been hearing differently</a> from customer service. Today some European staffers have <a href="http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showpost.php?p=910713&amp;postcount=39">finally gotten on top of the problem</a>, explaining that their distribution partners (who act as intermediaries between EA Mythic and Play) were the ones who had informed them the pre-order goodness was going out soon. Apparently some wires were crossed, and people are hearing different information. They've promised to get the situation sorted out promptly.<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/2008/06/18/play-com-having-war-pre-order-problems/">Play.com having WAR pre-order problems</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:00:00 EST.
