Codemasters have recently opened up beta signups to their upcoming Lord of the Rings based MMORPG.

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar European website will be providing content in English, French and German along with localised forums. The striking site, designed to fit within a 1024*768 frame, is a glorious fusion between the bright, rolling hills of the Shire and the dark foreboding wastelands of Angmar.

Perhaps of even more interest to you all, we are also very excited to announce that sign ups for the Beta Program have also gone live! To sign up for the European Beta Program please go to http://www.lotro-europe.com/beta

The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar allows players to discover their heroic destiny in the ongoing struggle for Middle-earth. Players of all levels can experience and explore incredibly detailed realms and join familiar characters in an evolving and persistent re-creation of the beloved world depicted in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

Players can adventure solo or forge their own fellowships online with others, as they face hideous monsters and minions of Sauron, fight epic battles to defend Middle-earth, and immerse themselves in the greatest adventure of our time.

Wouldn't even waste my time downloading it.. its made by Turbine the guys that brought you the awful AC2 now pulled offline.

And also the most generic overhyped use of a licence ever.. Dungeons & Dragons Online which many predict will go offline too in a couple of years due to people leaving in their 100s each week.

It has flop written all over it.

Because we can't try it yet? I agree though. MMORPEGs with names already attached seem to just go wrong. D&D Online and Warhammer Online for example, though the new Warhammer Online may be interesting.. I haven't heard much about The Matrix Online either. I'm not optimistic anyway. I can't personally see LotR making a very good MMORPEG.
