Just read this on the official forums for those of you interested...
"During The Lord of the Rings Online™ Welcome Back Week from November 12th through November 18th, you can play your old characters for free** and get a +25% XP Bonus***. Plus, if you come back now and renew your subscription to LOTRO with any 3-, 6-, or 12-month $9.99/month* subscription plan during the welcome back period, we’ll give you The Lord of the Rings Online™: Siege of Mirkwood™ digital expansion for free* (regular price $19.99)!"

If I upgrade from a trial account to a 3-6-9 month plan and get SoM free, does it include the original game+Moria aswell?
I think you still have to purchase those if you upgrade from a trial account. You get SoA and Moria for $9.99. Then, if you get a 3-6-9-12 month account, you get SoM for free. I could be wrong, but I believe that's how it works.
Thats what i thought. Im on a tight budget here but wanted a second account(lifetime for the first so no monthly fees). Thanks. IM just gonna wait
No problem, glad I could help.
my account still isn't active =( Hope it happens soon ;P

The $9.99 purchase of SoA and Moria also should include a month's subscription (did for me in October).
So if you upgrade to that before November 18th, and commit to at least a 3 month subscription, you will be getting the game for a straight $9.99 a month (no extra cost for SoA/Moria and the Mirkwood expansion).
Neither is mine. Not sure what the deal is, I figure maybe at noon(EST) it'll become reactivated.
Yeah, I'm wondering when it's going to kick in too ... I didn't see a time mentioned anywhere.
-Awesome
im about to finish installing my lotro :P best time to resturn to it 
Has anyone tried actually logging in with there account, regardless of whether it is marked as Inactive still?
Just to see if it wrks.
Hope everyone is enjoying their return weekend. I'm enjoying the extra XP.
LOL @ Me :P
Not sure how my above post ended up so messed up, my apologies.
At any rate, I was trying to ask if anyone had bothered trying to login with there account regardless of whether it is currently marked inactive or not. I swore that in the past welcome back weekend events I was always able to login, I don't remember them marking my account as active at all.
Am I mistaken?
I was wondering, "What the frack is he doing?" lol. The internets, a wild and crazy place.
-Hehe sorry but i still got 2 weeks on my game time so i cant help you there :P but i hope xp boost is there when i log in today.

Awesome, I restarted LotRO a week ago and the exp bonus will really help that last stretch to level 50.
omg i reactivated my account 3 days ago, will i still get Xp boost and mirkwood? DAMN >.<
Its all good bud!
I'm about 99% sure I'll be able to login just fine, cant wait to get those last few levels on my little Burglar
just reactivated my account fine. Thanks for the heads up!
Yes to the XP, maybe to the mirkwood (yes if you have a multi month sub). Ends the 18th.
can anyone recommend a server with good lowbie population? I plan on starting over its been a long while since i played.
Does this mean US players only because my EU account is not active
I took the quote from the Turbine forum. You may want to check codemaster's forum to see when/if they are having one.
EU servers had welcome back week about a month ago..
If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd
Keep in mind, if you dont act soon, both SoM and the adventure pack will be 20$ each, and you will get none of the pre-order items.
