European <a href="http://www.lotro-europe.com/"><em>Lord of the Rings Online</em></a> fans are anxious to get their hands on <a href="http://www.lotro-europe.com/siege-of-mirkwood/"><em>Siege of Mirkwood</em></a>, especially after <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/codemasters">Codemasters</a> told them about the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/14/codesmasters-reveals-the-lotro-europe-pre-order-deals-for-siege/">great pre-order deals</a> being offered. Players who purchase the expansion will receive the Harbinger's Cloak, and players purchasing the expansion and the Adventurer's Pack add-on will receive the cloak and an extra mount. So they've heard the story of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/siege-of-mirkwood"><em>Mirkwood</em></a>, seen the screenshots, watched the trailer, been offered some extra items with their purchase and are just left with the big question: when?<br /><br />Sam "Satine" Russell, the Director of Community Relations for Codemasters, <a href="http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5764952&amp;postcount=12">answered that question recently</a> when she commented that <em>Siege of Mirkwood</em> <em>"is currently tracking 3rd December for launch"</em>, two days after the scheduled December 1st release date for <em>Mirkwood</em> in North America. <br /><br />It's important to note the phrasing "currently tracking", meaning that this isn't an engraved-in-stone date. However, that date isn't too far off, so we feel pretty good about Satine's statement. We also feel pretty anxious to get our hands on <em>Siege of Mirkwood</em>, so it's great to have some dates to look forward to!<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/2009/10/19/codemasters-gives-planned-launch-date-for-siege-of-mirkwood/">Codemasters gives planned launch date for Siege of Mirkwood</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:30:00 EST.
