Finally tonight, the folks over at Turbine and Codemasters Online have announced the North American launch of Book 13: Doom of the Last-king, the latest major content update for their hit MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. This hefty update offers a brand new region to explore called Forochel, a new playable monster class (the Defiler), a new hobby system, and much, much more! You can learn more about Book 13 right here or just launch the game's auto-updater to start downloading. The European launch is expected "soon", so be sure to keep an eye on the game's official website! ;)
Also, to celebrate LOTRO's 1st year anniversary, Turbine is offering a special limited-time discount on all subscriptions and are re-opening the Lifetime Membership deal. Details on the anniversary promotion are available right here.
