Lord Of The Rings Online Becomes Free-To-Play

Starting September 10th you can roam Middle-earth for free.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced today that starting September 10th, Lord of the Rings Online will be free-to-play for PC players.

Turbine's MMO has charged players a monthly fee and now is changing that model. You will be able to download it for free at the game's website come September 10th.

"Our unique pricing model has revolutionized the industry and starting in September, players will be able to choose how they pay for and play one of the world's best online games and we can't wait to welcome millions of new players to Middle-earth!" said Kate Paiz, Executive Producer of LOTRO at Turbine.

Certain things such as items, quest packs, and account services will be available to purchase at the new LOTRO store, which launches on September 10th as well.
