The newest update for the Lord of The Rings update is double experience. This will last for 4 days, October 2nd-October 6th. The whole reason for this is a 'Welcome back' for all the players who have stopped playing LOTRO.

Turbine is giving Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar players a chance to prepare their favorite characters to explore the Mines of Moria. This weekend, you can earn 25% bonus experience from Thursday, October 2 through Monday, October 6. The developer is also offering this event up as a free welcome back weekend to players who have quit playing LOTRO.

As added incentive to look forward to the new expansion, Turbine developer Brian "Zombie Columbus" Aloisio has revealed more of the ideas behind the new Rune-Keeper class for Moria in his latest developer diary entry:

"The Minstrel sings words of Power and the Lore-master finds Power from ancient secrets, but there are more paths than these. Middle-earth is a land where language has Power, and such words are comprised of rune-letters. Put them together in the right order and the world can be changed in subtle and sometimes grand ways."
