A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day!…Instead today we’ll mosey on back to the end of Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring into Moria, Khazad-dûm, the ancient stronghold of Durin the Deathless. Yes, the geek-fest that is Lord of the Rings Online will soon breath life anew.

Yesterday game developer Turbine, Inc. announced that the first expansion to Shadows of Angmar, Lord of The Rings Online gold: The Mines of Moria will be distributed in retail in North America by Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment. The game will come in three flavors:

The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria Complete Edition which will include the original The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar game (Volume I), all content updates released since launch, and The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria
(Volume II). The Complete Edition will be available at retail stores
nationwide and offers new players who wish to journey through the most
complete and authentic recreation of Middle-earth the full,
award-winning experience.

Lord of The Rings Online gold: Mines of Moria Collector’s Edition
which will feature the content of the Complete Edition as well as compelling
digital and physical items for collectors. Limited quantities of the
Collector’s Edition will be available at retail outlets in a unique
leather-bound book packaging and will include:

3 exclusive tokens that can be exchanged for the player’s choice of 8 different in-game items

22" x 22" premium quality cloth map of the Mines of Moria

Special gold-plated ring complete with chain and pouch

Mines of Moria poster

A full color Collector’s Edition Starter Guide

The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria Digital Expansion as a
digital upgrade that will allow existing subscribers to The Lord of the
Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar to continue the ultimate interactive
adventure into the vast, terrifying and unparalleled world beneath
Middle-earth.

One of the biggest gripes Lord of The Rings Online gold fans have with any portrayals outside the books is that so much of what Tolkien created was left on the cutting room floor in the movies. The expansions to Lord of The Rings Online gold, and many are planned, will fill these gaps including visits to Rohan, the Dead Marshes and perhaps Isengard and Fangorn in the next expansions dealing with The Two Towers and doubtless later visits to Minas Tirith, Osgiliath and the black gate in the portion reflecting The Return of the King. The geek-fest begins Fall 2008
