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."

To be precise, that's autumn of 2005, or just a couple months after the release of Duke Nukem Forever...

  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.

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.
