So, head to the LOTRO Store in-game (hit Ctrl-S while playing) and take advantage of these deals, which run through Sunday, Sept. 12, 2010.

Check out the new LOTRO trailer now available on YouTube! This is a 60-second extended version of the television ad that will be airing during the next few weeks!

The classic instance, "Great Barrow –The Maze", has been closed until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Welcome to The Lord of the Rings Online! We encourage our new players to play on: Dwarrowdelf or Imladris!
 

We are currently investigating an issue with incorrect Turbine Point balances in some players' accounts (balances are lower or higher than they should be). We'll have this fixed as quickly as possible! Thanks for bearing with us!

We're pleased to announce the new LOTRO Community Site, which integrates all of our sites (the forums, Lorebook, My LOTRO, and News) into one seamless site! For more information about the new features (and known issues) of the Community Site, click here!

PLAYER ALERT: Recently, In-Game Support has seen a rise of in-game messages telling players they need to visit a website to contest a warning. This is a spoofing message and players should not follow the link. These messages do not come from Turbine employees. The message says "Becasuse you suspected of lllegal trade for gold, system will freeze your ID after one hour.If you have any questions, please login to make a complaint .We will be processing as soon as possible.Thank you for your understanding!" The URL is not a valid Turbine site! (Click Here) to read more.

You can now keep your friends up to date on your status in The Lord of the Rings™ Online™! Install the new LOTRO Player Feed application on your Facebook page and it will update your status with your latest accomplishments and let your friends know when you are logged in to the game.(Click Here) to learn more.

Especially in-game gold bought for real money! This is a friendly reminder to our players that buying gold for real money is not only against the EULA, but can put your account at risk for hacking or banning. Buying gold causes game imbalance, damages the economy, and contributes to the amount of spam in chat, tells, and mail. In extreme cases it's even been known to cause increased hair loss, global warming, and the extinction of at least 2 species of insects every day. Don't buy gold!
