n a press release made available on Friday, Warner Bros Interactive announced that the video game, produced by Turbine, will move from its subscription model to a more predominantly free to play model. Lord of The Rings Online was very highly regarded by critics, gaining a rating of 86% from games review aggregate website Metacritic.
