Codemasters Online invites you to join us for an amazing Welcome Back Week from the 23rd until 30th November, 2009. The doors of Middle-earth will be open for former players to enter for a week of FREE game play.

If you’ve got a friend who used to play LOTRO and hasn’t logged in for a while then why not let them know about this great week too? Then everyone can take part!




All you have to do is download or patch up to the most recent version of the game client and log in starting 23rd November. Your account will already have been re-activated for you and your previous characters will be there waiting to resume their adventure!

Don't forget that the new digital expansion Siege of Mirkwood is coming to servers on 3rd December. If you haven't yet pre-ordered your copy, be sure to do so in advance of the Siege of Mirkwood release to ensure you bag the exclusive pre-order bonus items!
