JC writes "It looks like Tolkien fans will get one of their biggest dreams with Turbine's Middle-Earth Online. Originally expected about November, we're now looking at a Northern Hemisphere Autumn release date. The New Zealand Herald has a good article."
Just when a bunch of nerds thought they had any chance of seeing any sunlight next fall, this news is released.

Living in California, I may not have this straight, but isn't November about the end of Autumn?

I'm interested.
Can you ship to Mordor ?
I know I don't have great ratings, I'm new to this Internet thing, but I really, really want this item.

Don't trust this user! I've recently had dealings with him which proved him to be a deceiver and liar. If I hadn't just tried to immolate myself and my wounded son, I would register a complaint with ebay.

And female dwarves -- I think they're unheard of in any Middle Earth lore.
So Galadriel never appeared in the books???

say it with me: Game. There i knew you could.
Its not there to be real. If being a millwright was fun people would do it in real life. Games are used as a way to escape from the day to day drudge that some peoples lifes have become. Whats the point of escaping into a world where your virtual 'job' is just as shitty as your real one.
Tubine made one hell of a fun and indepth game. If i was back in HS, id definatly get this game and loose my GF all over again. XP was more important to me than AHP;)

I was applying to be a Baker, but my guidance counseler had me take some aptitude tests and my strength lies in melee combat. I've been assigned to row 1 of keep storming division. Will I be able to see the fight from there? I don't want to miss it.

It's a tough read.
Man that is the understatement of the year.
I would add that a Wizard was not a human, but an imortal like the elves.

But (most of) November is in the Autumn.
To be precise, that's autumn of 2005, or just a couple months after the release of Duke Nukem Forever...
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
Just the thing to fill that vacant part of my day ensuring that I never see any sunlight ever again. Aaachh!!~~~ natural horrible sunlight..

Dibs on Legolas. :-P
They'll be able to explore, fight, make alliances and perhaps even look for treasure.
