Codemasters Online invites you to join us for an amazing Welcome Back Week from the 3rd until 10th August, 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 3rd August. Your account will already have been re-activated for you and your previous characters will be there waiting to resume their adventure!

Have the chance to impress the Great Musician and have your outfit discerned by the Fashion Maven. Keep an eye out for these colourful characters as they will be roaming the streets of Middle-earth again.
