here's hoping it's the announcement of the expansion pack for the game!!! Considering that Turbines latest Book 12 release is below par, they must have been distracted by doing something else!!

I hope it is the expansion!!

Has nobody else seen it yet?

The massive news?

They are going to introduce real money transactions into the game.

Buying extra character slots
Buying extra houses for your accounts
Purchasing in game items
Purchasing additional experience
Purchasing the service of 'codemaster' mentors who will escort your new character through quests, advise, support and protect him/her for a fee
Purchasing 'ready to raid' level 50 characters

Anything you could buy from a goldseller/powerlevelling site will be available legally and quickly through premium services
