The hash error has been reported to Codemasters. They are working on it to get it fixed. Try relaunching the game in a few hours.

the Eu version sucks because there are no turbine points xD
When you use the NA version you can get some turbine points for free
so you can unclock classes and so on.

Eu version = no free points. Why should i play there? (lol)

Lags in NA version for EU? Never! Perhaps if you have a 56k modem xD

You will get on the EU version just like the US version points. Both F2P is exactly the same.

See the free player chart here: http://www.codemasters.com/lotro/freetoplay/info/ for more info.

So what's the point with the eu version?

People will play the EU version because of the language localization.
There are many french or german (I'm not sure which other euro languages Lotro has as well) who want the game in their native language as well as a community based on same language players.

I don't know about in-game events in Lotro, but euros might also want events times that fit better their euro schedule.

dont think so..only kids who cant understand english will play on this server.
Seriously..english is the world language so its not important if the community
use english as the main language.

When i look at some german forums i can see some kids who always asking for
ger versions of mmorpgs..but in my eyes its a bit annoying. When i was 14
i started RO and it was in english too + community. When they dont
wanna play english games they will never learn this language (xD)
- the annoying part is that they always whine about english mmorpgs..

LOTR US unlocked the lvl 65 cap and also allows entrance to mines of moria and the other areas , and also unlocked the legendary armors for free .

Also there is a quest pack with over 100 quests and 3 instances for only 50 turbine points ...

No Legendary items Requires Moria Expansion and that costs points. As i said before the charts of EU and US are exactly the same.
