5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant Game, Excellent Offer!! A real bargain if you are playing the game using turbine points!

5.0 out of 5 stars
This edition of the game gives you an up-to-date copy of the game so far, 2000 Turbine points to spend on the in-game store, access to four Quest packs (Trollshaws, Lothlorien, Eregion, and Moria) and a free Steed of the Horse Lords Mount for all characters!
At the minute 1p= 1 Turbine point roughly. Those quest packs in-game are priced roughly 595TB -695TB so you can see straight away they are worth at least £20. So look at all the extra free benefits you would be getting anyway!
For those like me, who already play the game and have switched from being a VIP to a premium member who uses turbine points to buy quest packs etc from the game, the discs don't actually need to be installed if your game is up-to-date. They are just handy to have as a back up because it is far faster to reinstall from the discs that to have to download everything.
The 2000 turbine points are what really sweetened the deal for me as the price of the pack alone without the points is cheaper than buying the quest packs, and a fancy mount in game anyway!
For new players, I would think this is a great pack to have, as understanding how quest packs work can be quite confusing (At least it was for me returning from before the game went free to play) and having them all sorted out for you is great. Combined with the free content already received in game this will take your characters all the way to 60!... Read more ›

The best MMORPG out there. If you want to play without paying to much, this is the one for you!! The world of Tolkien is great.
This start pack is very good. It gave me 2000 turbine points more 4 areas of quests incl. Moria, and a horse for all your characters.
And u'll have a premium account! ;)

This edition of the game is great if your just starting or getting into it, the 2000 Turbine points are really useful to get over those those basic limitations like the currency cap (which is limited to 5 gold)and improving your inventory space, but leaving you with enough leftover to buy a few fun things like cosmetic outfits or more character slots. The Horse included in the Mithril Edition is surprising useful too because it allows you to speed across the low level areas and level rather fast, aswell as keeping the game fun when you've got to make a long journey by making it much quicker, essential as normal steeds require level 20 to ride whereas this one only requires level 5. Another little bonus is buying this edition gives you an extra character slot,giving you 3 rather than just 2.
The game itself is really good, its got some good features like a Instance finder and player houses and a main storyline that runs alongside the events of the book, allowing you to take part in some of the key events and meet all the characters. The world is big but restricted unless your a VIP as free players need to buy zones that aren't involved in the main storyline with turbine points, which arnt too expensive compared to a subscription in the long run. Overall I'de rate the game around a 7/10 for its game play and around a 9/10 for its story, which is brilliant if your a fan of the books.

The mithril edition has come out since Turbine took over the EU side servers from codemasters and as such all boxes with codemasters brand should really be removed from sites like amazon as the codes will not work for turbine.
Lotro has been a free to play title for over a year now and being free to play you dont need to go out and purchase a hard copy.
However the mithril edition will give you access to more quest zones for levelling up in, that would have to be bought via the turbine points systen for the ingame store. Alongside that you get 2000 of these TP's which would cost pretty much the same as the entire edition. Having a disc will also help you bypass the download tool turbine uses which is pretty diabolical.
In short if you're new to LOTRO and have yet to buy quest packs then this is worth it, if you want a hard copy linked to turbine then it's worth it for the TP's and mount or if you're a collector of mounts then they cost about £20 anyway so again it's worth it.

The game says I get 2000 Turbine points. I entered the code, and received a receipt telling me I have 2000 points, yet no points were added. I was very disappointed by this game.

This was my first MMO game and I have to say, I'm really enjoying it. Great starter game. This game arrived perfect with codes and no scratches on the CD. I've encountered no problems with it at all so far. Very happy over-all :)

I plauy lotro for over 5 years now and really love it. Sometimes it would have been nice if you had a second account. So you craft on one side and quest on the other since...well ...crafting is mostly boring as is some deeds :). The trouble if you take a f2p account to join is ofcourse that you hardly have a way to level that account. With this Mithril package you have a good base to reach the high levels. Besides that, you are able to join the fellowship on the way and you get 500turbine points aswell. With the points earned during play (and not spending ofcourse :) ) you will be able to buy a basic package again when you are high level.
So the game is briljan as ever. This package is a great deal if you want an extra f2p account, or if you want to try this great game without have to stop after a week.
