Maybe if we complain loud enough, we can get another long overdue round of FP apology writs.

LOTRO Facebook Update
From Facebook Site posted:
The Lord of the Rings Online Our techs are on site working to resolve the datacenter issues. Thanks for your patience, and we'll bring more updates as they're available!
about an hour ago via HootSuite
They don't troll the VN Boards anymore, haven't in years, and since their website is down as well, they can't post an update there. 
Edit : To clarify, all Turbine related games, forums, and web pages are down at the moment. So this applies to not only LOTRO, but DDO and AC as well.

I really doubt that Warner Brothers is about to "go under" look at the Warner Bros. franchises, plenty of good things that they have going for them. Plus just like GM, they are too big to fail!!! lol WB bailout. j/k

they had to put off filming the new james bond for cash problems. the big ace in the hole is they hold the rights to the hobbit book. they can borrow on that as it's assured of making big bucks now that peter jackson is directing.

Isn't James Bond part of MGM, which I think Warner Bros. turned down a merger/buyout of?
Anyhow, the "OMG Warner Bros. took it over, and the servers just crashed, they pulled the plug" is just a little too much Chicken Little. The servers are not only back online, but I seriously doubt that you'd just wake up one day, and the plug would be pulled to all of Turbine's games without so much of a notice. Especially considering, if I remember correctly, LOTRO is the second most popular MMO in the US right now. If it's not the second, it's definitely in the top 5, so I seriously doubt that it would have the plug pulled without any type of notification first.

Yes, they made LOTR "free"...just like Farmville, Pogo, and a slew of other games are "free"...
It's free, to play about 1/20 of the content available. Beyond that, you have to pay, either monthly or for a micro-transaction. I haven't played DDO since it first went retail, but I do remember reading that although that's "free", they also have micro-transactions for that as well. For anyone who knows how micro-transaction models work, often times, they are MUCH more lucrative than charging a straight monthly fee, because someone who enjoys the game, will pay more than double what they'd pay for a monthly sub, or even more in many cases. Plus, by having it free, those who can't or won't pay for it, will continue to play, inflating the worlds, making the game look much more attractive to those who do spend money on them.
So, no, it's not free, they do make money. Just remember, Yahoo! and Google are "free" websites to use, yet they make tons of money. Actually, even better, IGN here offers the forums for "free", but they make money of those who choose to subscribe.
