Schedule for the End of Closed Beta
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone,
Here's a brief outline of what you can expect over the next few days as we transition from Closed to Open Beta:
Monday, March 26:
From 7:00PM - 10:00PM EDT, Turbine admins will be on Brandywine and Meneldor with surprises for the players. (Hint: Bring Minstrels. Lots and lots of Minstrels.)
Tuesday, March 27:
LOTRO game servers will go dark in the morning and will remain closed until Friday. All player characters will be wiped.
Wednesday, March 28:
Beta forums: The beta forums will be brought down in the morning. Accounts created on the Beta forums and associated with either Pre-order or Beta keys will be preserved. All other accounts will be wiped.
Live forums: The live forums (currently located at http://www.lotro.com/forums) will be brought down in the late afternoon, and will not come back up.
If there are any posts which you feel should be saved and/or reposted on the new forums, this is the time to save them!
After March 28th, the beta.lotro.com forums address will no longer be valid, and http://forums.lotro.com will be the link to the only set of official forums. Only Pre-order customers and beta players will be able to post on the public forums. If you had a Closed Beta, Open Beta, or Pre-order account on the beta forums, you will be able to log in and use this account.
Wednesday - Thursday, March 28-29:
The forums will be open to beta players.
Friday, March 30:
Servers go live and Open Beta begins for Pre-order customers! See you in Middle-earth!

I think it's up to 5 characters. Also, there is no limit on tradeskilling, though it might be hard to get any recipes after awhile with nothing but low-levels on-at least you can bank lots and lots of resources.
And there are no limits on the monster-play creatures.
Apply lemon juice and candle flame here to reveal secret message.
5 characters per server, limited only by the amount of servers
