Get a Lord of the Rings Online BETA Key PLUS 5,000 In Game Credits Here

This coming autumn marks an important milestone for The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) as it moves to a Free-to-Play model. That’s right! LOTRO will be Free to play for everyone! And here's your chance to get in early PLUS 5,000 in-game points!

Codemasters has joined up with SPOnG to offer (for a limited time) 100 keys to the LOTRO Free-to-Play Beta. That's it, you could get into Lord of the Rings Online early.

Players of all levels will explore incredibly detailed realms and join familiar characters in an evolving and persistent re-creation of Tolkien’s beloved world. They will face the dangers Frodo and the Fellowship left behind when they began their epic journey to destroy the One Ring.

Gamers can adventure solo or forge their own fellowships online with others, as they face hideous monsters and minions of Sauron, establish unique reputations, fight epic battles to defend Middle-earth, and immerse themselves in the greatest adventure of our time.

For more information on the game... well, that's right here.

In order to be in the running here is what we need you to do:

1) Register on SPOnG. It's free and you become part of the community of gamers.
2) Once you've received your welcome email (takes moments), sign-in.
3) Send off an email to feedback@spong.com with the subject: "Hey SPOnG, Gimme a LOTRO key!". Include your SPOnG username.
4) That's it. (Well, you could also introduce yourself to the rest of the community right here but we understand some people are shy and retiring types, so this isn't mandatory).

That's it. Once we recieve your email and ensure that you're not some hideous robot-email-engine trying to scrounge multiple keys for yourself, and if you're in the first 100, bingo! You get a LOTRO key.
