GameSpy writes: "Moria is a bad place. Of course, anyone who's ever read the adventures of a certain furry-footed hero and his eight companions is aware of that. The former homeland of the Dwarves was once the most magnificent structure in Middle-earth, but after a disastrous mistake in which they unleashed the Balrog, the place was abandoned to orcs and worse-than-orcs. That's what makes it irresistible to Tolkien junkies and gamers of all stripes, so when we were offered the chance to take a hands-on tour through the mines of Moria courtesy of The Lord of the Rings Online creators at Turbine, it would have taken an army of hobbits to hold us back."

Free-to-play may actually be the proper way to offer MMOs instead of subscriptions, as Turbine has recently revealed that Lord of the Rings Online has tripled its revenue since switching the game over to that model back in September...
Have a struggling MMO? Make it free to play, and you'll pretty much guarantee success.
Hello APB F2P.
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.
