its really simple guys seriously speak with your wallet and cancel your account . Show you have self control and play something else or wait it out. If you really want to make a statement to a greedy company just hit em in the pocket. I honestly still to this day dont know how people can even play this game for hours the combat is so slow and boring anyways and the prices for their pts are ridiculously high hidden under a deceptive mask of you can earn them. While you can earn 5 or 10 here and there it by far is no great deal. I remember when EQ2x was released how many lotr online fans and site fans here slammed SOE saying how great turbines cash shop and game is for ftp sorry but Im really chuckling right now.
Isn't this just the way of F2P? Hook you with a nice "fair" cash shop and then slowly make it so taht you want/'need to buy more and more stufff if you want to have "fun" or "win"?
I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.
I'm a giant Tolkien fangirl. I devour anything related to Arda. LotRO was almost too good to be true when I first discovered it... Now it is too good to be true.
I've taken it and taken it from Turbine. For a moment I considered that, if I got a refund and all was dealt with fairly and with integrity, I would consider returning to a game and world I love and cherish. Every time I reread the emails Turbine has sent me, the hope that LotRO will go back to it's happy days fades more and more.
Farewell, Middle-Earth. It was a great run, but all good things must end.
As far as what this expansion contains, it contains
Mounted Combat (Two talent trees, to be specific. The first trait tree and basic mounted combat is 100% free.)
Warbands (Wait, that's free, too.)
Rohan as a zone (Well, that's also free, so.)
The Epic Story (Err, that's also free...)
Landscape Quests
Instance Cluster (Oh wait, they got rid of that and will now likely charge you again.)
So, really, you get a quest pack and two warsteed trait trees.

So does anyone know what is actually included in the xpack?

Because of my current debacle with Turbine (http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/354105/Turbine-threatens-to-ban-players-for-pursuing-refunds-of-their-new-expansion.html), I don't think I will ever return to LotRO.
