Ex-subscribers to Lord of the Rings Online have been granted a free chance to revisit the MMO and explore updates made to the game since launch.

The "Welcome back to LotRO" campaign, as the free experience is called, runs from May 8 through to May 12 enabling you to blow the dust off your old character(s) and get some play time in.

Naturally if you're so blown away by how the game's changed since you hung up your spurs, you can start paying a monthly subscription fee to play again.
