Free to play launch date announced

Agree with Nine, access to that content will be saved on your COG account so should be completely separate. The only thing I am wondering is whether after downloading the full game client you then have to download the patches for Moria & Mirkwood once it recognises you have access to those areas or whether those patches are contained within the full game client already.

I'll know soon enough, my full client download is at the 50% mark so will be installing it soon.

EDIT: Just checked my COG account and it says I am a VIP.

It shouldn't be that bad Kairos, your access to Moria etcetera and lifetime is bound to your account so you won't lose that if you re-install.

Yes, but confidence is like virginity - once lost it can't be regained...
I just can't believe that after screwing everybody around for a month after the false start of F2P, CM have actually dropped the ball yet again, and in such a sweeping fashion.

I don't want to start an argument, but I think in both those cases the blame lies squarely in Turbine's camp.

Hash error and did have preview.  Can't be bothered to do anything with it on my lunch hour though, will wait for CM Forum to come back up and check their for fixes/known issues later. 

It may be the Reg entry the Preview client created causing a problem (I uninstalled it but I didn't check if it deleted registry entries) if anyone wants to check reg

In that case it was due to AV/Firewall software blocking something.

FYI, the client download contains Everything, including MoM, SoM and even some test-stuff that you'll never see. In fact, there's a good chance that a full reinstall will be running faster than a patched one in the end (since it's all nice and clean). The stuff you have access to doesn't have anything to do with what's on your computer, it's all on the server-side. If somebody who doesn't have MoM would log in on your Lotro install, he wouldn't be able to get in MoM, and vice-versa: if you login a random Lotro install of even a free player, you'd have everything you're used to having, except for personalized keybindings and your screen layout afaik.

As for the error: I wouldn't know... Checked available disk space on both the Windows and your Lotro drive (if they're not the same)? Make sure you've got nothing else running? Try starting as Administrator if you're on Vista?

@Indo

Cheers! That clears that up.

Just to be clear.
What I'm downloading is LOTROEU_Enedwaith_EN_GB_Downloader.exe, right?
