Coming hot off the heels of Turbine's Siege of Mirkwood pre-order announcement comes the European pre-order details from Codemasters. While the European players won't be able to simply upgrade their subscription plans to a multi-month plan to get the expansion for free, they do get a very nice deal on the Lord of the Rings Online adventurer's pack.
European players can pick up the expansion and the adventurer's pack add-on, which offers two character slots and 20 shared inventory slots, for 20 pounds or 28 euros. If you buy the bundle, you get the Harbinger's Cloak and the extra mount (the Dusky Nimblefoot Goat) included. Otherwise, if you just buy the expansion for 15 pounds or 20 euros, you only get the Harbinger's Cloak -- a change from the cloak being offered solely in the US adventurer's pack.

For those who don't own the game, you have the option of picking up the Lord of the Rings Online triple pack, which gives you all three expansions for 30 pounds or 40 euros. For five pounds or 10 euros more you can get the special edition of the triple pack which includes the aforementioned adventurer's pack bundled in.
Lastly, LotRO players in Europe have the option of picking up the "Bag of Loot" which gets you 10 pre-selected items from all of the items ever released. The bag is five pounds/seven euros and is a unique offering to European players only.

Loot-bag as a stand alone order? (As indicated by actual EU codemasters page) Oh please, just open the item store and don't do the gradual death thing :)) One off little freebies with a yearly expanion isn't too bad, but .. you know where this is heading.
How much for the radiance items then? I'm not buying, I'm just curious to how much they'll be getting for having instantly killed any desire for me to be bothered to play to gear up alts anymore. Sad though, very sad. Hope I'm wrong, really do. Just as the game really seems coming alive as well.
Buh Bye.
