But.
It's like £50+ on Ebay, dirty scammers.
And, Middle Earth Online is coming. And LOTR universe > Warcraft. Seeing as Warcraft is entirely a rip off of LOTR, albeit a good one.
Hmmmmm....
> I'm guessing this is to buy currency in game with.....real money?!
You are correct. People use bots to earn ingame currency overnight, use 3rd party programs to packet sniff to check, scan and pinpoint rare spawns, use 3rd party hacks to ensure that they get to those rare spawns before anyone else, and then hike the price on rare items to squeeze as much ingame currency out of players as possible.
They then sell that currency for real cash to players who discover that when they try to spend it they don't get as much as they thought they would because prices on rares are continuing to spiral, and when they do finally buy something decent to go hunting with there's nothing to hunt because all the good stuff is overcamped by currency sellers.
Welcome to the wonderful world of intellectual property theft and the degradation of gameplay in most decent MMORPGs out there.
You ether want it or you don’t want it, simple really.
I love this game whether it may be a rip from another nerdy universe or not.
Interesting short story by Cory Doctorow (Easter Standard Tribe, down and Out In the Magic Kingdom (Class)) focusing on female gamers, eastern MMORPG sweat shops, and selling game items on auction sites.

Ahahaha, no. I was browsing Ebay, and came across this. I quite cleary stated 'I want it' rather than 'Hmmmmm.....not sure'.
I, however, placed my order on Wenesday evening and my order status is still 'processing'. I've tried ringing them but I either get a line busy or constant ringing. Dodgy.
Anyway, if the order status changes I'll let you people wanting the game.
Just got one off eBay for £33. Which is quite good considering they are selling at silly, silly prices on there.
