*sigh* Looks like I'm getting up at 12:01 am and making coffee
Wow.. I was impressed to see so many Turbine people attend.
After that chat, I'm just more impressed and feel comfortable that they're ready and really psyched for launch. The first update after launch sounds like it's gonna be a winner... and regular content promised to keep us all busy.
WOOOT!
Can't wait!

Wow, this really made me that much more excited for the game. With the constant updates, the addition to PvMP rewards and content, Player Housing, and of course FISHING! this will really be a great game. I just hope come tomorrow the servers hold up with out too much trouble, even though they do have back up servers.
Well, see you all in Middle-Earth!

WarCry: malus72: Hi , I wanted to ask with the sheer number of preorders and possible open beta players will you have enough servers online and be able to quickly add more to avoid overcrowding and login issues?
Aarzak-LOTRO: No, we are planning for a complete meltdown in our server room and for my job to consist of running around with whips yelling at people.... ;-)
Aarzak-LOTRO: But seriously we are doing everything we can to try to prepare for what is to come. It has been one of the major focuses of my job here, and if things go wrong, I will be in BIG trouble.
Mithril_Miser: With a bit more certainty, let me say this.
Mithril_Miser: We've got a bunch of servers ready, and a bunch more on standby. If we still manage to overwhelm them all, well, we'll divert some of the dump trucks full of money to get new hardware, stat.
going by the counter over at the world tour site I think they better get some of those dump trucks Stat!
