Kate Paiz, Executive Producer for Riders of Rohan and Lord of the Rings Online, has dropped some rough news - the expansion's delay.

There are too many problems popping up for them to squash quickly, so the date has been reset to October 15. On the bright side, anyone who's pre-purchased the expansion gets a grab-bag of free stuff. The free content includes 500 Turbine points, an hour long double EXP boost, Slayer Deed Accelerator (also an hour), bonus 20% Renown (3 hours) and Mount Speed (1 hour), a Tome of Defence, and a Scroll of Finesse. 

Are you disappointed by the delay? Or happy that Turbine is taking the extra time? Let us know below.
