After actualoly reading the FAQ's that are available, it doesn't look all too bad - especially being a lifetime member (Lifetime members get Lifetime VIP access - so all the benefits of being paying subscriber).
If you subscribe now and continue to pay, you'll get full benefits.
If you've never played or have stopped, it's not going to cost you anything to try - and to be honest, playing up to level 50 is MONTHS of free play (unless you're a levelling animal!).
I know dungeon and dragons online did this free to pay model, and I'm told the number of players increased by 500%.. the number of subscribers DOUBLED... so everyone wins.
So while some people might worry it's the death of the game - it might be the kick up the bum it needed to get new blood in.

If it works for Lotro the same way it worked for DDO, I have no problems with it. I know there are many concerns about the community going downhill when this happens, but I'm hoping that won't be the case. In all honesty, Lotro needs a good boot to get it going again, let's hope this is it

I have to agree, I think this can only be a move for the better, the way it is going now it is not attracting new players and it would be nice to see some more people about the place!
I will even try to play a bit more! if Jo lets me stop playing EQ2 for a night
