Turbine and Midway Games today announced the details of the "Founder’s Program" for The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. This massively multiplayer online game based on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novels lets players from around the globe experience the vast world of Middle-earth.
Pre-orders for Lord Of The Rings: Shadows of Angmar will include special monthly pricing options, guaranteed access to the open beta, character roll-over, and two special bonus items.
The Founder’s Program rewards all players who pre-order The Lord of the Rings Online with special $9.99 monthly subscription pricing, early access to the game in the form of an open beta, character roll-over (from the beta) and unique in-game bonus items. Players can become a Founder by pre-ordering the title online or at retail stores beginning on February 1, 2007.
“The Lord of the Rings Online immerses you in one of the greatest literary works of all time,” said Jeffrey Anderson, president and CEO of Turbine. “The Founder’s Program pricing plan rewards fans for their loyalty with a special opportunity to join Middle-earth from the beginning.”
Two pricing options are available for Founders, a $9.99 per month subscription or a $199 lifetime membership. While many MMORPG's offer bonuses for those players who pre-order the games, a lifetime membership option is rarely offered. Founders will also have access to two bonus items: Enchanted Cloak of Regeneration and Ring of Agility.
Pre-orders will be accepted beggining on February 1st, and the open beta is set to commence on March 30th. The game is priced at an MSRP of $49.99, and the commercial launch is set for April 24th. Head over to the official site or our info page for more details.
