Welcome Back Week begins November 23rd and continues through the 30th -- any former LotRO player can return and enjoy a week of free play, courtesy of Codemasters. They're also offering a bonus: those taking advantage of Welcome Back Week will get a 25% XP boost that week.
Players interested in returning for the event need only download the game, or patch to the latest version. Codemasters has re-activated the accounts, so you'll find your characters ready and waiting to head back into Middle-Earth and prepare for the arrival of Siege of Mirkwood.
Codemasters is also using this week to remind players to get in on the Siege of Mirkwood pre-order deals. The expansion is set to launch in Europe on December 3rd.

I haven't played LOTRO since it's first few months of release, but one thing I have noticed is the number of free trial times they give former members. Although I have no interest in returning to the game, I do appreciate what Codemasters does for those who may have thought their time in LOTRO was cut a bit short and didn't want to fully commit to a month subscription to give it another chance.

Shweet! I was thinking about downloading the game and trying it again, maybe even buying the box again (you see my last disks were involved in an across the street Frisbee throwing competition, that wasn't advantageous to their data holding facilities any longer). But now I get to download, play for a week, and realize why I left in the first place.
SHWEEET!

I haven't touch the game since I left 2 months after release.I think this time I will give it a try even if I know I won't resub anytime soon.
