Playing LotR: Online Gives You Cancer

Negative Gamer writes:

Definitely. No two ways about it I'm afraid. If you bought the collectors edition of the MMO based on Tolkien's epic adventure you WILL get cancer (or lose any chance of ever having children).

It seems that the Dark Lord Sauron has teamed up with developers Turbine to bring pain and suffering to the peoples of Middle Earth.

Compains do that to protect themselfs, espically in US Territory.

Why do you think in a packet of Peanuts there are warning "May contain Traces of Nuts" and Instructions "Open, Eat"

Do I need to remember about the Case of an elder woman microwaved her pet (to dry it), and sued microwave company because there was no warning "Do not put in pets"

What about the burglar that got locked in a garage and sued the company that made the garage for not having instructions on how to open?

Now this makes me feel old! I remember playing the beta while I worked at Gamestop. I honestly didn't even know this game was still online! A quick search showed that it's even F2P now, so I may check it out for nostalgia's sake.

I only subbed at launch for 1-2 months bc I was already caught up in WoW at the time. I love the LotR universe though and would like to see how it's being handled these days.

Middle-earth Enterprises sends cease-and-desist letter to LOTRO rogue server project

From MMORPG: "Some Lord of the Rings Online players may have been aware of an unofficial rogue server project that was set to release this month called Echoes of Angmar. Aiming to create a true vanilla version of LOTRO, trait lines and map-less Old Forest and all, the server ran the real risk of drawing legal ire down on its head because of the unlicensed use of a very much still-operating and still-in-development MMO.
