This week’s video highlight is 100% a LOTRO ad. What I want to point out though is at the end the video there is text that says “Join millions of players.” This is fairly surprising because the trailer came out three days before Free-to-play.
Assuming LOTRO has gained many players since the change to the new pricing model, I wonder how big that number is now. LOTRO is usually thought of as a fairly niche community but in reality I wonder what the numbers really are. This is the last official reference I know of that refers to numbers so we will likely never know just how many players are playing or have ever played LOTRO.
“The Lord of the Rings Online – The Ultimate Adventure” was released on September 7th, 2010 on Turbine’s official YouTube channel.
