‘Lord of the Rings Online’ Expansion Drops Nov. 19

On November 18, Codemasters and Turbine will release Mines of Moria, the first expansion to The Lord of the Rings Online. This may seem like a perfectly normal release date at first, but take a second look.

That’s right. The World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion comes out exactly five days before Mines of Moria. We’re curious to see if sales of either will be affected by such a close release proximity. While we were big fans of LOTRO, we can’t help but feel that this is something of a scheduling mistake for an expansion that could help draw people who have left back in…if they aren’t already too busy with some other game’s expansion.
