Of course it's a paid expansion announcement. The existing Books end at Book 14, which would be about correct timing for the paid expansion to come out at the end of the year. Book 13 will probably ship in May (around the time of AoC... hrmmm), Book 14 sometime in August and then the expac in the October - December timeframe.
To those who make comparisons to AC2, keep in mind that LotRO has FAR more subs than AC2 did at the point they released the expansion for it. The expansion was a last ditch effort to save AC2, anyone who was playing at the time should have realized that. It failed, unfortunately, because far too many people recalled all too well the problems the game had at launch. LotRO is NOT in that situation by an stretch of the imagination. It's had arguably the best MMO launch in MMO history, almost no bugs, smooth transition from beta to live, etc, etc... They did everything right. AoC fans can thank Turbine if AoC actually ships in a similar state. Everyone saw what Turbine did with LotRO last year compared to Vanguard and realized they needed to make sure the game launched rock solid. I believe AoC devs are doing the same thing.

Getting off-topic now, but yup. Played both and stuck with LOTRO. Vanguard was rushed to launch before LOTRO deliberately to get a competitive advantage and it backfired on them in a huge way. It looked to me for a while that one of AOC or WAR might repeat the mistake but they both seem to have backed off and are trying for a LOTRO-like launch.
Back to the topic...
I agree: most likely this announcement will be all about "Volume II - The Mines of Moria"... or something similar, coming in the fall. All of the "Month of the (insert class here)" are done and Book 13 (and 14 if there is a 14...big if there) will be mostly about gravy....like the strongly-hinted-at fishing.
The expansion is also almost guaranteed to increase the level cap to probably 60 for all those bored 50's (myself included) who want more non-raid end-game storyline content.
As to whether they introduce new classes (races are pretty well tapped-out) that's a big maybe... we'll just have to wait and see

Book 13 and 14 are already labeled in our char quest log, which will be the end of the Eriador storyline! My guess would be early fall for a new exp. so they have ample time to finish the current story before moving it ahead to part 2!

I meant last one before the expansion was announced,bit didnt word it very well :P
One of the european dev chats mentioned that after book 13 they were wanting to announce the expansion,so its possible announcement is coming earlier.
I think it will be either " THE HOBBIT " seperate Mmo or some sort of HOBBIT expansion where you go back in time to play with Bilbo..... well it could be coud'nt it ?
I am at the point where I don't care what it is, though I imagine it is most likely an expansion with some sort of actual evil player characters. I have heard people talking about how the monsters shouldn't be as powerful as heroes. Remember, the players are not heroes; the players are just average people that have taken the fight to the Enemy. They are not the fellowship, or anyone important to the lore. They are just regular folks fighting for their homelands. So monsters should and are, if you look at monster play as it is now, equal in power to the Free Peoples.
I hope beyond hope it is something good. I have watched Turbine destroy my two favorite IPs: D&D and LOTR. I can't believe, however, that anything they do will be anything different from the same stuff we have seen them come out with.

I do not find any contradiction
I have tried the game to back up my posts with fact unlike various other posters..
If that means I must be stuck trying it again to keep my data current, it is not a stretch at all.
So, a borefest, with a ruined IP, that runs incredibly bad on newer hardware, with an awful UI, bad animations

As many in this forum have tried to get across, this game isn't going to be for everyone. It has a free trial, so anyone wanting to see what it's like should try that before they buy it. It's a good, solid MMO, but some may indeed find it not their thing.
Luckily there are lots of MMOs over on the left-hand side of these forums to choose from.

Getting off-topic now, but yup. Played both and stuck with LOTRO. Vanguard was rushed to launch before LOTRO deliberately to get a competitive advantage and it backfired on them in a huge way. It looked to me for a while that one of AOC or WAR might repeat the mistake but they both seem to have backed off and are trying for a LOTRO-like launch.
Back to the topic...
I agree: most likely this announcement will be all about "Volume II - The Mines of Moria"... or something similar, coming in the fall. All of the "Month of the (insert class here)" are done and Book 13 (and 14 if there is a 14...big if there) will be mostly about gravy....like the strongly-hinted-at fishing.
The expansion is also almost guaranteed to increase the level cap to probably 60 for all those bored 50's (myself included) who want more non-raid end-game storyline content.
As to whether they introduce new classes (races are pretty well tapped-out) that's a big maybe... we'll just have to wait and see
