Lord of the Rings Online Open Beta Begins!

Turbine has announced the launching of a World Tour Open Beta, allowing gamers to try out their upcoming massively multiplayer online RPG, The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. Sending us off on an epic journey, the beta will run from April 6th to the 24th (when the retail product ships) and will cap players off at level 15. Here's a little snippet from the press release:

Westwood, MA - April 6, 2007 - Turbine, Inc. announced today that the World Tour of Middle-earth has officially begun! Over one million North American gamers are planned to be invited to this unprecedented event where they can experience The Lord of the Rings Online(TM): Shadows of Angmar(TM) for FREE from April 6th until its scheduled launch on April 24th. Even more exciting, the World Tour also serves as a head-start for pre-order customers, allowing them to roll their characters into the launched game.

"The only thing better than adventuring in Middle-earth is being able to adventure for free!" said Jeffrey Anderson, president and CEO of Turbine, Inc. "The World Tour is a unique opportunity to try The Lord of the Rings Online for yourself before the game launches."

If you play the beta and like what you see, Turbine is now accepting Pre-orders with a special Founder's Program that features the following benefits:

  • Two special membership options: $199/lifetime or $9.99/month
  • Unique in-game bonus items
  • Ability to roll World Tour characters into the launched game

Not too shabby!
