    Well, it means I'll be playing it every day once again. I own the game but I couldn't afford to pay subscription every month on top of WoW.

    Interesting. I wonder if it's going to be free for Europeans also, because D&D Online isn't.

    I didn't enjoy the game all that much when I played the trial, so it doesn't really mean much to me. Great for those who play the game I should imagine.

    Oh, I never tried this when it came out as I was pretty hooked on WoW, but with not playing that any more and this becoming sub free I think I may give it a shot.

    It sounds great in theory, but how much will the microtransactions end up costing those of us who want all the options that the game currently offers?  I used to play LOTRO regularly before I couldn't afford subscription prices, so I'm genuinely curious.  Is the full game as-is going to be accessible, or will we get a bare-bones main quest without all the extra books and quests?

    This is amazing. I might actually give it a shot.
