Middle Earth Keeps going after the book ends... (Score 1)

Just because the story of Lord of the Rings ends, doesn't mean that the virtual world has to. It isn't as if the book ended with: "Sam took Rosy on his lap and suddenly the world exploded and everyone died." Or they could go back in time and fight the original war of the ring. Bottom line, if the game is successful they'll find a way to keep it moving.
