With Funcom's Age of Conan having racked-up 400,000 subscribers in the face of World of Warcraft, the previous most successful rival to Blizzard's opus (Lord of the Rings Online) could face more intense competition in the coming months, especially with EA's Warhammer Online entering the fray. Needless to say, then, the Mines of Moria expansion pack for the game is absolutely crucial, and it is with enthusiasm Turbine producer Aaron Campbell introduces the new add-on, behind closed doors at the Games Convention in Leipzig.
Albatross Revue are happy to present these screenshots to show some of the exciting in-game rewards that can be earned during the five-year anniversary festival activities as well as some of the gifts that players will receive automatically as a thank you for playing. Rewards will be given according to how long a player has been playing. Lord of the Rings Online celebrates its five year anniversary on April 24, 2012

Have a struggling MMO? Make it free to play, and you'll pretty much guarantee success.

That's good to hear, if the majority of MMO's go free to play then I'll never have a gaming drought again.
...or just make an amazing MMORPG that is worth your while....like world of warcraft.
