Lord of the Rings Online

Competition Now Closed! Thanks for your interest.

This coming autumn marks an important milestone for Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) as it moves to a Free-to-Play model.

That's right! LOTRO will be Free to play for everyone!

To celebrate this fact those lovely people at Codemasters Online have provided 50 beta keys, for lucky European SquareGo readers, so they can experience, first-hand, the ultimate adventure and experience the unlimited entertainment before anyone else.

That's not all though, as the Codies have kindly given us in-game beta points so that the beta players can enjoy the online shopping experience as well, giving each prize winner an excellent start in the land of Middle-Earth.

Players of all levels will explore incredibly detailed realms and join familiar characters in an evolving and persistent re-creation of Tolkien's beloved world. They will face the dangers Frodo and the Fellowship left behind when they began their epic journey to destroy the One Ring.

PC gamers can adventure solo or forge their own fellowships online with others, as they face hideous monsters and minions of Sauron, establish unique reputations, fight epic battles to defend Middle-Earth, and immerse themselves in the greatest adventure of our time.

If you live in Europe and would like to win one of the beta keys and experience not only the game but have points to shop, just answer this simple question:

What is the correct name of the land Gandalf and Frodo are fighting to defend?

A. Central-earth
B. Middle-earth
C. Higher-earth

Please e-mail your answer, A, B or C to chat@square-go.com. The first 50 correct entries after 08:00 (BST) on Thursday 29 July 2010 will be e-mailed the beta keys including an explanation of how to redeem your Turbine points.
