2 (or 3?) days ago the beta signups for LotR Online went live! I don't think any phase of external beta has started yet, but (obviously!) I and most of my friends are signed up and we're all waiting for that wonderful acceptance email.

Everything I read about this game gets me more and more excited! I think this will be as big or bigger than EQ for me. I put probably 400-600 DAYS of real life time over the course of 7 years into EQ, and I think this will surpass it easily! I'm even considering cancelling my other game subscriptions once/if I get into Beta. It's that big for me.
