Come on now....
This is a AAA MMO with one of the strongest IP's ever created...being made by a
respectful company that has a history of making good games.
With that in mind...
Yes, you will have to pay. It will never be free.
Yes, you will buy it in a box just like every other AAA game made.
It in beta (or will be when it starts... but that is the stage it is in)
Side not: why do people even ask thies questions...and would it have been that hard to go read thier FAQ?

There is no official release date yet. It will have a monthly subscription to play. I don't know if you'll be able to download it, probably not though.
Check out the FAQ at their website LotRO (North America)
Kinda like DDO LOL!
to my knowledge turbine has made 3 mmorpg.AC1-which never saw more then 100k at its prime.
AC2- which flopped so bad they closed it
DDO- another flop despite having the licence to D&D behind them.
So i would not call turbine very successful.

Well they have announced that the game will be released about November 2006 and there would be a subscribtion fee about 15$/month after the first free month comes when you buy the game tough not officialy announced but that fee is standart for most of the games.You can digitally buy and download the game maybe not in the begining but mostly about 2-3 months later.Altough you can find several online shops which will give you digital buy oppurtunities.

You not considering them successful has nothing to do with
it. Fact is they make AAA MMO's and are considered among the top companies to
do so, the are not an independent developer, or a startup, they do have 3 mmos
that did achieve some measure of success even if it doesn’t meet your criteria
of "success". It is fact that the company makes quality games that
are in line with and among the top of the genre, and are compared and in the
same category with SOE, blizzard, mythic, Square Enix, ArenaNet, Cryptic
Studios ETC..
My comments were more about market power and Company quality.
I personally have no opinion of the games they have made as I
We are not talking about Farlan or thies guyshaven’t played them. But I do know the company is among the top of the genre
Combine that with one of the most beloved (and maybe even oldest)
IPs and you see how these questions were absurd.

LOTR:O will be completely free. Free to download and Free to Play. The 10-20 people who have spent 8+ hrs a day for the last 6yrs are just doing it out of the kindness of their heart to give the MMORPG community a decent free game to play and Tolkien's decendants are funding the servers for 25yrs from the profits they made off the movie franchise.
A Work in Progress.

Its like seeing a movie staring Steven Segal og Van Dam...sure they are still making movies....but they all suck.
In other words, seeing the name Turbine on a game just run away...lol
They really need to rebuild there company. The founders should just fire the whole crew, and start over. IMO.
After watching the video, LotRO has an AC2 feel to it. AC2 was my favorite MMOG so I will definitely give LotRO a try. Although I hope Turbine learned their lesson with the disatrous launch of AC2 and delay LotRO launch if it isn't ready. AC2 needed about another year of development. It never had a chance to succeed after it's bug ridden code and incompleteness at launch.
