I've got the updater for Lord of the Rings Online running, in case I fancy another look at the game after all this time. May as well try and make back some of the money I spent on lifetime subscription to a game I never really got on with.


Observe this screen shot. (Sorry, I used to have an autothumbnail gadget but it doesn't seem to be working).

Yes, that's right, 233% progress and counting. The number of files on that line has gone off the viewable area (helpful) but I recall it being in the order of 27000, so I estimate the entire update to be around 1500%.

Since when is 100% not enough?

(If you happen to work with me, please note that I don't want to have the 120% discussion again. Not unless you've seen reason.)

Edit: And what's with a £5 Amazon voucher as a referral reward? I don't much care how much the reward is worth (not when we're talking the difference between £5 & £10, say), but why don't they just offer a one-month subscription holiday, like pretty much every other game. It just makes much more sense.
