Turbine's successful Online hit two years old last week, and the developer are offering up 9.99 USD monthly subscriptions in celebration.

The game will be available at this discounted rate until the end of June, and it is free to try should you be tempted to leap into this persistent Middle Earth.

"Our anniversary is a chance for us to celebrate with our past and present players and enjoy everything that is special about Middle-earth," beamed executive producer Jeffery Steefel.

Special, rare coins will also be dished out in game for players to gather and exchange for gift boxes of unique items, while current players will also get a Writ of Passage - offering a 20 per cent discount on pony rentals.

More on this as we get it.
