You can download the game for the 10-day trial, which does not even require a credit card. If you decide to buy, it's $30 for a digital download of the whole kit and kaboodle {Base game, 2 expansions, 30 days free}. Trial has access to all classes and races and all content, but is limited on chat and has no access to mail, auctions or trading.
If you do decide to upgrade, make sure you sign up ONE account first. In your account management, scroll all the way down. Click on " Refer a friend today to earn free game time!" and send invite to your next account. You'll get an extra 30 days playtime per subscribed account once the new account has been charged for a subscription.
Something of note, LotRO now has 2 different sized fellowships for group content. Starting at level 50 {I think?} you can do dungeons in full fellowships and small fellowships. Full fellowships are 6. Small fellowships are 3. Prior to 50, it's all 6man. We decided to go with a small fellowship, since we can always move to 6 when it's free to play.
