"Lord of the Rings Online" Pre-Order: Beta Key, Discount Membership, Exclusive Items

I just purchased the "Lord of the Rings Online" pre-order. Normally, I wouldn't pay $50 for an MMO, and now I've done it twice in the last week.

But here's what you get with the pre-order:

1. The LOTRO box and CD set
2. Membership in the Open Beta
   
3. The ability to bring your beta character over after full launch
4. Special pricing after full launch: $9.99/month, or $199 lifetime
5. In-game items: Enchanted Cloak of Regeneration & The Ring of Agility
6. Free 30-day access to Allakhazam.com’s Premium Service

Pretty l33t. You can pre-order online today -- the pre-order will hit retail stores on February 1st. The commercial launch is slated for April 24th.

Bado na Ennorath!
