Well, free for the next 16 days at least. If you love MMO’s, and love free things, give the Lord of the Rings Online MMO a spin. Considering they make their money off of monthly subscription fees more than the actual game, it is a smart move to make sure they can suck in as many players and keep them. They’ll even let you progress to level 15 and keep your character if you decide to buy the game when it launches on April 24th. The good news is that the subscription fee is only $9.99 a month, cheaper than most other MMO’s, and for the really dedicated you can buy a lifetime subscription for $200! Heck, if you spend at least two years dedicated to an MMO, this is an obvious choice.
