A new survey spotted once again hints that could be hard at work on an version of Online, suggesting that the developer could have been working on the game for some time.

The new online title was once said to be a micro-transaction funded, version of the popular Tolkien-themed MMO; but the new survey in question asks players whether they would be happy to pay 12.99 USD a month for the title.

That subscription fee would of course come on top of the initial outlay for the game itself. A free-play business model is also speculated in the survey, Turbine clearly having not decided what route to pursue yet.

Various downloadable items were mooted as possible micro-transaction focusses, although neither the developer, nor Bros, have yet to comment on the MMO's existence.

More on this soon we hope. Thanks GameDaily.
