  Great deal! Only catch is the servers are so unstable you wont actually able to complete the quests!

  This probably means it's the last day for DD:O too.
  
  Between this and Quad Pack...you get most of things, then you can continue with Mordor oriented stuff.
  
  Edit: Can you apply this to Steam?

  YES, today is the last day for the LotRO code 'LOTROFREEQUESTS' AND the last day for the DDO code 'DDOFREEQUESTS'.
  
  It's also the last day of the 99 point store sales for the 2 DDO and 5 LotRO expansions (& instance packs).

  SWG (pre-cu) - AoC (pre-f2p) - PotBS (pre-boarder) - DDO - LotRO (pre-f2p) - STO (pre-f2p) - GnH (beta tester) - SWTOR - Neverwinter

  When "today"? I am busy until midnight CET. And I hate to miss opportunities.

  Hate to miss? The window was open literally for months...

  
  

  I don't know for sure, but it's probably tomorrow morning CET time, when the daily server reset happens.

  
  

  
  

  ed: of course don't quote me on that, if it still closes earlier  
  

  They never disclosed hours, maybe due to the several months long timeframe. It was usually "Until September" or "Until 31st of August"

  That usually means servertime, but not always.

  Well, I was trying new games. Took me quite some time.
  
  Ah well...you are 100% right, if I cared, I'd've done it a long time ago.

  Oh sure NOW you tell me about this... and the game takes forever to install and update.
  
  Edit they must have optimized their downloader because it didn't take as long as it used to. :O

  This is my favorite mmorpg, it's getting old though, but i'll play it every now and then until its last days. With this great offer, i made 6 other accounts and bought them everything, going to try some PVE multiboxing, i think i can get some extra fun out of this game by running my own full fellowship through instances, or duo raids with another multiboxer friend i met, that kind of won me over on the idea, as it seems a bit challenging and, of course, fun. I know not everyone likes multiboxers, at least in the past, but i think it will be fun, especially for PVE only.

  @Gorwe apparently there's a couple more hours beyond the daily reset, and will last till the early afternoon CET

  They've told you (not to mention any other sites and SSG's own forums) multiple times, from when the free content event started

  It was well covered, practically since April players have the whole content of the games (DDO and LotRO) for free, at first just temporarily, then permanently.

  It'd seem that I managed to get free LoTR:O stuff(I also caught Helm's Deep for like 90 Turbine Points), as for DD:O...I did get it(after the game caused no small issues when trying to verify the code), but I did get an error of sorts after I managed to actually send it. The worst come to pass, I have in my history that I "got" it. So I can come to an agreement with Customer Support.

  
  

  Yeah, those things aren't cheap, especially when both games are factored in! Should I want to play them, LoTR:O especially, now I fully can. There is a LOT of content before my limitations would show up(mostly revolving around Gondor, Mordor etc).

  
  

  (also, I still can't take High Elves seriously. I get it that story wise, there aren't hundreds of Calaquendi running around, most likely one or few, but it still looks weird, just like it does with Beorn's people)

  I cant find mordor expansion in the ingame store.

  The game was giving away free access to all content since April (iirc), they have had these cupon codes in the store since July to get everything.

  Right now both of the 2 newest; Mordor and Minas Mogul are only available in the LOTRO Marketplace for real cash.
  
  You'll probably need to wait til closer to Christmas for it to show up for points via the ingame store

  Hey @Pogg, is there a DDO version of a Quad Pack? Something that will upgrade my account from f2p to Premium in an efficient way.

  If you spend any Real Money in DDO, you get upgraded to Premium, like any Real money at all. So if you just wanted the boons, buy the smallest DDO point pack and you get the Premium status to go with it.

  No, I wanted something more efficient, akin to LoTR:O's Quad Pack.
