Games On Net writes: "In a genre defined by the ubiquitous World of Warcraft, the road to success is littered with failed attempts to hook into the paid subscriber's wallet. Despite the glut of fantasy MMO titles and intense competition for subscribers, Turbine seems to have found its niche with Lord of the Rings Online. Last year saw the release of the first expansion, Mines of Moria and the latest iteration in the massively multiplayer Middle Earth saga, Siege of Mirkwood, has just hit the digital shelves."
