LOTRO Pre-order madness - Image 1Yeah, the Codemaster folks are getting giddier with every pre-order for The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. Recently, Codemasters divulged that thousands of European players have already pre-ordered LOTRO which is scheduled for an April 24 release in the European continent.

In fact, Codemasters believes that this is their largest European pre-release campaign, and it seems that their campaign is paying off. Of course, players are getting enticed with the 10-day head start access to the game which comes with the pre-order pack. Aside from that, the pre-order packs would give players access to exclusive in-game items and would also give them a chance to become a Founder of The Lord of the Rings Online. Check this earlier article to know more of the Founder Program. Says Ed Relf, marketing director for Codemasters:

We are ecstatic with the pre-order frenzy surrounding The Lord of the Rings Online. We are excited with the unprecedented demand for the game and are looking forward to launching what is set to be one of the most successful PC games in recent years!
