    Turbine dropped a huge surprise on the MMO community this morning with the announcement that Lord of the Rings Online is changing to a free-to-play model. Fan reaction was all over the map, and the announcement predictably spawned a stream of questions from every direction. Everyone was anxious to find out how current accounts would transfer, where the decision came from, what will be free, what won't, and so on. The Turbine staff have, of course, been incredibly busy since the news went public, but managed to carve out some time to chat with us about the future of Lord of the Rings Online. Follow along after the jump to see what they had to say.
