Maxlength textarea
I need a script to manage maxlength in a textarea. I'm currently using one from anon-design, which is working just fine.
There's one big problem tho. It parsesas 15 chars instead of just 4, as I need it to. Do you know of any other maxlength script or just a way to fix this?[url]test[/url]
OskarIt sounds like you'll have to modify the script to first strip out any accepted tags and then count what remains. Assuming you want to support a subset of the BBCode tags, you could do something like this:
var stripBBCode = function(value){
var tags = new Array('b', 'i', 'u', 'url', 'quote');
var result = value;
for( var index in tags){
var oRegExp = new RegExp('\\[' + tags[index] + '](.*?)\\[/' + tags[index] + ']');
result = result.replace(oRegExp, \"$1\");
oRegExp = null;
return result;
I don't guarantee this will work perfectly in all circumstances, but I think you can see where I'm going and expand it to suite your needs.Justin, that worked wonders! Thank you very very much :)I've found a little glitch, the expression matchesjust fine (as 4 chars), but[tag]four[/tag]
I've tried some things but none are working for me. Is there a simple fix? As most others I'm not too fond of the syntax =) This is the current expression:new RegExp('\\[' + tags[index] + '](.*?)\\[/' + tags[index] + ']');
give this a shot.new RegExp('\\[' + tags[index] + '](.*?)\\[/' + tags[index] + ']||\[' + tags[index] + '\=(.*?)\](.*?)\\[/' + tags[index] + ']');
You guys are friggin geniuses. I really need to learn me some regular expressions."Stack" said:give this a shot.new RegExp('\\[' + tags[index] + '](.*?)\\[/' + tags[index] + ']||\[' + tags[index] + '\=(.*?)\](.*?)\\[/' + tags[index] + ']');
This doesn't work for about 10 different reasons. The most important part is that you've split the expression up into two different sections that repeat basically the same expression which renders the replace part of the code unusable; you've also introduced new capture groups that are unused so they provide a big performance penalty.
I've modified the original expression to make an "=something" optional:new RegExp('\\[' + tags[index] + '(?:=.+?)?](.*?)\\[/' + tags[index] + ']');
Notice that I made the "=something" group non-capturing. This way, we still only have 1 capturing group to the replace code works as is. I've also added the requirement that something must come after the equals sign, otherwise this would match: "something"; if you don't want this requirement, change the + to a *.
Let me know if there are any other glitches and I'll be glad to give it another look.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
During a recent physical examination, my physician sent me for a chest x-ray, and the x-ray tech had me repeat the frontal chest x-ray. During the follow-up appointment, my doctor said that there was a spot on my lung, but not to worry because it had calcified. A co-worker whose wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer said that it may not mean all is well, and that I should follow up in 6 months for a comparison x-ray. Should I worry about the calcified spot and request follow up tests or relax? Thank You!
Anil Vachani, MD, Attending Physician at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, responds:
First, I should clarify that a calcification seen on a mammogram, which is typically followed up with a breast biopsy, is found to be cancerous about 20% of the time.
Calcification on a chest x-ray, on the other hand, is treated differently, as it can be a sign that the nodule is benign. However, it is standard of care to judge calcification on a CAT scan of the chest. If there was a pleural calcification (which is calcification in the lining of the lung), this could mean that he has been exposed to asbestos, but either way, he should still get a chest CT scan to confirm that the spot is benign.
Dr. Giantonio discusses the privileges bestowed on physicians in our society and the dangers of this. Read more.

The Arizona Department of Transportation, in conjunction with Santa Cruz County and the Federal Highway Administration, is studying traffic flow at both the Interstate 19 and Ruby Road traffic interchange and along the I-19 east frontage road from Ruby Road to Rio Rico Drive. The study purpose is to enhance safety, improve traffic flow and meet current and future traffic needs in this area.
The east frontage road provides sole access to a warehouse district that is used by commercial trucks transporting goods along US-Mexico trade routes. The east frontage road features two-way traffic (northbound and southbound) from Ruby Road to Kipper Street and one-way traffic (northbound only) from Kipper Street to Rio Rico Drive (0.8 mile segment). Based on the current traffic configuration, all traffic entering the warehouse district must use the Ruby Road traffic interchange, while traffic exiting the warehouse district may use either the Ruby Road or Rio Rico Drive traffic interchanges. There is also residential traffic and school buses in the area, which travel between the east and west sides of I-19.
During peak periods, traffic demand exceeds the capacity of the Ruby Road traffic interchange and causes high levels of congestion in the area. Vehicles queue on Ruby Road and the I-19 off-ramps waiting to clear traffic signals on Ruby Road at the east frontage road and I-19 off-ramps.
The study will evaluate existing peak-hour traffic operations and prepare recommendations for potential capacity, access, and safety improvements that accommodate forecasted growth through the year 2040. Please subscribe to receive information about the study and be notified about upcoming public meetings.
Your thoughts, opinions and ideas are important to ADOT. We encourage public participation and look forward to hearing from you by phone or email.

I always think it's misleading to describe pork as a 'white meat'. Strictly that's accurate, I suppose, but 'whiteness' somehow seems to suggest lack of flavour. Although that's still true of much mass-produced pork there's far more rare breed pork around these days which has a great deal of character.
US-based wine writer and educator David Furer reports on an epic tasting in the homeland of American barbeque, Austin, Texas pairing a selection of international and home-grown reds with different meats.
An unusual combination, you may think, but the acidity of the rhubarb cuts through the richness of the pork and makes this a beautiful dish.
Today, being St George's Day, what other pairing could I offer you but a classic British dish with a classic British beer?
Pork belly has become one of the most popular main courses on restaurant menus so what should you drink with it?
Pork and apple is, of course, a match made in heaven but the pairing was taken to new heights for me by mixologist Jack Adair Bevan of The Ethicurean who invented an Old Fashioned cocktail with a twist to go with a dish of slow roast pork.
This may be a mystifying pairing to those of you who don't live in the UK but bear with me ....
Sometimes you forget the most obvious food matches like the pairing of pork and perry we enjoyed over the weekend.
Those of you who have been following the reports from my recent gastronomic junket in Chicago shouldn't run away with the impression I spent all my time drinking Champagne and Château Lafite. One of my best meals was at chef Paul Kahan's Blackbird where they have a craft beer list that should make most British restaurants hang their head in shame.
Beans are one of the great underrated aids to matching full-bodied wines as I was reminded at the weekend when we combined a dish of pork and lima beans with a fine St-Joseph.
I had a reminder last week of just how good Chardonnay can be with meat given the right accompaniments.
As those of you who follow our Facebook page may have spotted I was in France last week so you might expect a pairing with a wine from Languedoc. But no: the outstanding match, as with the previous week, was with a beer - and a rather unusual one at that . . .
One of my favourite local restaurants Flinty Red in Bristol had put a Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro on by the glass when I went for lunch last week and it reminded me how incredibly delicious and versatile it is. So much so that we went on to order a full bottle.
I've been tasting a lot of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc this week but was also reminded how well it goes with Asian food at Peter Gordon's new restaurant Kopapa.
This typically Burgundian dish of pork with a wine, cream and mustard-based sauce is quick, easy and versatile. You could equally well use it for chicken.
If you're looking for new ideas for a Sunday roast try TV chef Gennaro Contaldo's fantastic porchetta (stuffed rolled pork belly) from his smashing new book Gennaro: Let's Cook Italian which is all about the dishes he makes at home for his family and friends.
Cider seems to be on the verge of going through the same quality revolution as beer did a few years ago. In the last 12 months I've tasted more interesting ciders than I have in the last 12 years. There are many different styles, obviously but here are the type of foods I think suit cider best and some avenues that I think might be worth pursuing:
Real perry - as opposed to the often confected and artificially flavoured pear cider - has a different taste from cider. It's more delicate, more fragrant, a better match for fish. You can treat drier styles like a dry white wine, sweeter ones almost like a dessert wine. And sparkling perries like champagne. But cheaper. Good news all round!
Fennel is one of the handful of vegetables that can influence a main course pairing - almost always for the better. Its aniseed flavour seems to have a pronounced affinity with many wines, especially whites. Here are some suggested matches with recipes that two British chefs have published this weekend - Gordon Ramsay in the Times and Skye Gyngell in the Independent on Sunday.
Susanna Forbes of Drink Britain reports on a vigorously fought contest over dinner at The Thatchers Arms near Colchester last month
It's the time of year to look back and review the best food and wine matches of 2011. Some were comfortingly familiar, some a total surprise to me. What they had in common was that the combination was more than the sum of the parts. The drink - in most cases wine - made the food taste more delicious, the food just made the wine sing. I hope you enjoy something similar in 2012.
Well, I don't know about easy but there must be some easier way to get people into German wine . . .
If you're trying to get ahead for Easter here are some suggestions to match Angela Hartnett's menu in the Daily Telegraph today.
One of the world's most underrated grapes yet capable of making some of its most delicious dry whites, Sémillon isn't on the radar for many. So if you get hold of a bottle what should you pair with it?
Today is the third International Grenache Day, a celebration of a grape which is (often anonymously) responsible for some of the most generous and appealing reds in the wine world.
As it's both Bonfire Night and British Sausage Week this week there's a fair chance that you'll be eating bangers of some kind, so what's the best pairing? As always it depends on the sausage but I personally find that beer and cider are often just as good partners as wine.
Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall proclaims firmly in The Guardian today that he won't be serving turkey for lunch on Christmas Day so if he's going to break with tradition why shouldn't you? Bring on the beer!
One of the most popular dishes at Opera Tavern from the excellent new Salt Yard cookbook which, interestingly, is self-published. And includes drink recommendations. Hurray!
Did I want to go on a truffle trip to Spain at the end of January? Balmy Barbados seemed like a better option but since that wasn't on the cards and the enquiry came from an old friend I said yes. The 2 day visit - the annual Viñas del Vero 'Days of Wine and Truffles' in Somontano would include an outdoor picnic in the foothills of the Pyrenees (eek), a truffle hunt and - the clincher - a multi-course truffle menu by one of the region's most talented chefs followed by a gastronomic brunch. "Bring the Gaviscon". my friend sagely advised.
A couple of years ago I went to a chutney-making demonstration and tasting. No, not at the WI - it was held by the family owned company Tracklements at leading London cheesemonger La Fromagerie which has recently expanded its empire into the neighbouring shop and now has a fancy new tasting room.
Pinot noir is one of the most versatile red wines to match with food and a great option in a restaurant when one of you is eating meat and the other fish.
To mark our first beer competition I thought I'd post my top matches with what I think is probably my favourite style of beer (though I'm always changing my mind depending on what I'm eating!) For more features on beer and food pairing check out the beer and cider section in Food with Drink (see menu on left).
Having just got back from Alsace I thought I'd update my recommendations on the best matches for Alsace dry and off-dry white wines. What struck me particularly on this visit is how key sweetness is to the success of a match - something that will often be more marked in a younger wine than an older vintage.
Thanks to the Argentinians, everyone associates Malbec with steak and that's a great pairing but with Malbec World Day coming up this Wednesday maybe it's time to stretch your wings and give some other dishes a try. Here are a few ideas:
There was a time, about 10 years ago, when I wrote a lot about Merlot which was widely regarded as wine world's alternative to Chardonnay - an easy drinking red wine that went with almost any meal.
There's no tradition of wine & food pairing in Georgia because, "we're permanently in the process of eating and drinking, so everyone is continuously matching for themselves," firmly declared Georgia's 'wine queen', Tina Kezeli, my host for a week's tour of eastern Georgia's Kakheti wine region. Georgian meals are lavish affairs with tables laden with dishes appearing in regular sequence but without regard for timing or harmonious wine pairing. Some guidance is needed.
I realise this is not the first time I've written about the virtues of roast pork and beer but it's such a great match (and such an underrated one) that I keep on coming back to it. This time I came across it in a splendid northern French tavern called Le Bruegel in Bergues, the highlight of what was otherwise a rather cold, miserable journey on our way back to England last week.
About the most daunting audience that anyone could face is a group of wine writers, especially if a number of those happen to specialise in food and wine matching so it was with some trepidation that I agreed to lead a tasting on wine and charcuterie in London on Monday night on the eve of the London International Wine Fair.
Last night we opened a bottle of 2005 Nugan Estate McLaren Parish Vineyard Shiraz - a typically big lush Aussie red at a hefty 15% ABV.
If you don't like Guinness don't be put off making this recipe for St Patrick's Day from my book Sausage & Mash. It makes the most fantastic dark, rich, sticky onion gravy that doesn't taste remotely of beer.
A really robust pasta dish from my book Cooking with Wine - perfect for cold weather eating. The wine gives a richer, more warming flavour than the usual tomato-based sauce.
Amontillado sherry has richer, nuttier flavours than a classic fino or manzanilla sherry and calls for different food matches. Think more in terms of cured meat, game and cheese than seafood and richer, meatier tapas.
The Spanish are more adventurous than us when it comes to matching sherry and food. I remember drinking a dry oloroso with roast partridge a few years back in Jerez. But what else could you pair with it?
Following my trip to Islay last year I drew up some pairings for its extraordinary peaty whiskies. I'm not a great one for whisky dinners but I like the idea of serving tapa-sized dishes with a dram.
This week is National Pie Week in the UK - not that we Brits need much encouragement to eat pies. It's also been seized on by an enterprising PR agency as an opportunity to explore wine and pie pairing but to be honest I'm not convinced that beer isn't the better drink - with the majority of British pies at least.
With the World Cup in full swing you might be thinking about cracking open a bottle of South Africa's own red, Pinotage. But what to eat with it? Here are a few ideas based on my trip earlier this year.
Natasha Hughes re-orders her hit list of wine matches for pinot following her visit to the International Pinot Noir Celebration.
Provence rosé has a particular character. It's much crisper and drier than most rosés on the market, more like a white wine than a rosé - though within this style there are variations between the lighter, less expensive wines or 'vins de soif' and the more structured ones, which the local refer to as 'vins de gastronomie'.
I was reminded about my trip to Priorat almost exactly two years ago by my recent visit to the Roussillon which has a similar terroir. And I think the wines would go with similar kinds of food. These were my suggested pairings at the time . . .
Despite the emphasis that winemakers place on the different appellations or terroirs of Chablis three factors seem to me to influence a food match more than any other for most of the Chablis you'll taste - the age of the wine, the vintage and the degree of oak influence, if any. There are exceptions to this - Chablis styles that are particularly fruity or ones that have more vegetal notes but in general I think you'll find most wines fall into one of the following five groups.
A general idea has got about that Chardonnay is for chavs but as anyone who has a taste for top white burgundy or other premium new world Chardonnays will know it's a spectacular food wine.
Few things make up for this time of year. In the UK it's relentlessly wet, grey and occasionally blustery. Time to head for the kitchen and knock up a rich beef stew or casserole and leave it simmering for hours.
And by paté I'm thinking of rough country patés and terrines like a paté de campagne rather than fish patés or vegetarian patés which I'll tackle separately. The sort that you might take on a picnic or kick off a classically French meal - particularly on le quartorze juillet. Happy Bastille Day!
Most of this past week has been spent in Paris where almost every wine match is a good one. There's been a lot of Beaujolais - and other Gamay - drinking and a fair amount of crisp dry whites such as Aligoté - but the pairing I'm going to pick is a Syrah I didn't know with a stonking great plateful of braised rabbit at the legendary Baratin.
A very Western approach to Chinese food, admittedly, but if you're celebrating Chinese New Year today with a dim sum lunch you'll find that Champagne - or other sparkling wine - makes a perfect pairing.
This actually wasn't the dish with which I drank this brilliant new sparkling wine at Rocksalt in Folkestone last week - I'd unfortunately finished my glass by then - but it would certainly have been a knockout wine pairing.
We went to a Portuguese evening at a local cafe, Tart in Bristol last week, which does a monthly supper club. The food was great, especially a main course of cozido, a substantial, saffron-laced stew of chicken, pork, chorizo and beans that would have actually made a meal in itself.
Pigs and Pinot is a well established combination that is the focus of an annual celebration at Charlie Palmer's Dry Creek Kitchen at the Hotel Healdsburg and after reminding myself of the combination last week at Daniel Boulud's new London outpost Bar Boulud I can see why.
Faggots, which are basically a rather gamey British meatball made with pork belly and offal, are a bit of an acquired taste along the lines of the French sausage andouillette but well made, as they are when supplied by our local butcher, they can be very tasty. They need to be accompanied by onion gravy which normally leads one in the direction of a robust ale but the other night we had them with a bottle of Mas Belles Eaux Vieux Carignan 2006 which actually worked very well.
It's been so busy the last few weeks that good pairings have been coming thick and fast but this was a great match I enjoyed at an offbeat new occasional restaurant which was launched by food and wine writer Marc Millon in Topsham, Devon the other day. (He's also contributed a couple of pieces to this site including this wonderful piece about Bagna Cauda)
I recently went to a Portuguese food and wine evening in Bristol hosted by an enterprising wine merchant called Corks of Cotham. It featured the wines of a producer called Casa de Saima, the ports of Niepoort and an intriguing Barbeito Single Harvest Madeira which went exceptionally well with some classic Portuguese custard tarts.
If you've been following the new alternative lifestyle programme Château Monty on Channel 4 you'll know that 'Monty' is wine writer Monty Waldin who set out to make his own biodynamic wine in the Roussillon down in the far corner of south-west France
With the unseasonally warm weather showing no signs of a let-up it's time to revisit the classic combination of French charcuterie and Beaujolais - perfect for picnics and other outdoor eating.
I'm constantly amazed at the stream of good value reds that is coming out of Spain these days. Here's another - La Copa Tempranillo 2005 from the up and coming Campo de Borja wine region which is situated in Aragon to the north west of Zaragoza. It appears to be made by a co-operative, the Cooperative de Santo Cristo de Magallon but is none the worse for that.
I've been invited to a game dinner at Brown's hotel in Mayfair next week at which every course is matched with a beer or a perry. I can't make it but thought you'd be interested in the pairings (my notes in italics):
The other night I was lucky enough to go out with a wineloving friend of mine and his wife who brought along a bottle of Château Palmer 1990 with them. It was a lovely wine but, as any 20 year old vintage would be, quite delicate so immediately created the dilemma of what to eat.
This month's issue of Observer Food Monthly hasa special on TV dinners featuring celebrities talking about their favourite snacks. Very few beverages are mentioned so I thought I'd suggest a few pairings ;-)
The Bordeaux wine region produces a multitude of top class red wines that these days tend to be blends of four main grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
As I'm in South Africa at the moment I thought I'd pass on a recipe from a book I discovered called Cape Winelands Cuisine compiled by Hetta van Deventer-Terblanche. Basically it's a savoury bread pudding rather than a tart but none the worse for that.
A fresh, zesty citrus-based punch that's packed with vitamin C. It obviously tastes best if you squeeze the fruit yourself but bought freshly squeezed juice is fine if you're short of time.
I first had this wonderful vegetable stew - a northern Spanish equivalent of a spring vegetable minestrone - in a restaurant in Pamplona and dreamed about it for several years before managing to recreate it. This version comes from winemaker Maria Martinez of Bodegas Montecillo in Rioja who I was interviewing for a feature in Decanter. We bought the ingredients together from the market in Logrono.
I'll be doing a major round-up on my trip to Provence next week buthere are a few more thoughts on matching rosé and food, an update of mylast overview
I've written before about pairing wine with Chinese food - and so have some of my contributors but here's a slightly different way of going about it that may help you decide which bottle to choose and make your pairings more successful. It involves deciding which flavours are predominant in a dish or selection of dishes.
Few people now throw up their hands in horror at the idea of matching red wine with fish. But how many realise just how often you can pair the two?
It's hard to avoid the obvious on St Paddy's Day. Guinness (or Black Velvet) Bailey's, Irish whiskey (most likely Jameson) or green cocktails are the usual suspects on any drinks menu. But if none of these appeal here are the sort of wines that will work with classic Irish fare.
If your Easter roast is a ham or gammon you need a more substantial wine with it than when you serve ham as a cold cut. Which one depends on the glaze.
Should it be wine or beer - or even a cocktail? Last year I asked the Twitter community what their favourite barbecue bevvy was and this is what they came up with . . .
People carp about food and beer pairings, griping that they're just made up pretentions that have no right being associated with something as inclusive and democratic as beer. "It's the drink of the common man," they cry, "Beer goes with everything!" To which I respond, uh, no, it doesn't. And to prove my point, here are ten food and beer partnerships guaranteed to make you wish you had chosen something else to drink.
We all know a beer goes down well with a ploughmans and that it's a great drink to wash down a barbecue but here are 10 more unusual pairings my son Will and I came up with for our beer and food book An Appetite for Ale which should liven up your summer drinking.
None of you I'm sure can have failed to notice just how many different bottles of rosé are now available on the average supermarket shelf. From being purely a summer wine there are now rosés for almost every type of food and occasion just as there are different styles of white and red wine.
Artichokes have the reputation of being a wine-killer but as with most of these diktats the problem is over-played. True, artichokes can make even dry whites taste oddly sweet but that doesn't account for the different ways in which they are cooked and how they are served.
With Southern hemisphere wines from the 2012 vintage having been on the shelves for a few months now the annual release of Beaujolais Nouveau on the third Thursday of November has become much less significant that it was but it's still fun to crack open a bottle with friends.
You may think tasting wine sounds arduous but a major wine and food tasting, I assure you, is a much greater assault on the system as I was reminded the other day when Victoria Moore of The Guardian and I ran 14 Pinot Gris through their paces with foods that ranged from smoked eel to chicken tikka masala. Neither of us was able to eat much for several days.
With Chinese new year coming up this weekend you may be planning a trip to a Chinese restaurant or planning a Chinese meal at home. But which wine to serve?
We rarely think of tawny port as a flexible partner for food. We serve it with stilton, obviously and with hard cheeses like cheddar, with nuts and dried fruits and over Christmas with fruit cake and mince pies but that's usually as far as it goes.
A fair bit gets written - including by yours truly - about pairing wine with turkey but what type of drinks go best with the Christmas ham?
Cuttlefish is a pain to prepare as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall points out in the Guardian today but it is particularly delicious to eat. It's often partnered with robust flavours so you need to think in terms of equally intense flavoured wines.
Think of an air-dried ham such as serrano and you probably think of tapas and therefore fino or manzanilla sherry. But I've experienced two recent wine matches which opened my eyes to another option that even those on a diet could enjoy!
You might think the idea of eating bacon and egg with good claret is sacrilege but bear with me.
I know I said I was going to make a Riesling my match of the week but given that I've already written about it and that it's the Great British Beer Festival this week I'm going for this great combo at my son's restaurant, Hawksmoor. (Blatantly nepotistic, I know. Apologies)
It's funny how your attitude to food and wine matching changes when you visit a wine-producing area like the Languedoc which is where I've been for the past few days. You tend to drink the local wine because it's what the locals drink. It may not be the best match but it doesn't really matter, particularly at lunchtime when you want something light.
Last week's highlight without a doubt was the meal I had with my Guardian colleagues at Brawn, Ed Wilson's new restaurant in Columbia Road. As you may know it's the new City outpost of the hugely popular wine bar Terroirs with a similar natural wine list which you can read about on my natural wine blog here.
It's almost impossible to pick out one pairing from last week's trip to the Lebanon but if I'm forced to it has to be a dish of wild boar with cherry sauce I ate with Habib Karam the owner of Karam winery (and - extraordinarily - the airline pilot who flew us to Beirut)
Sometimes you get in a rut with a particular food and wine combination - maybe on a 'if it ain't broke, why fix it? basis. Such is the case for me with tapas which I tend to recommend pairing with something Spanish - usually manzanilla sherry or - depending on the amount of seafood - a crisp Rueda, dry Spanish rosado or a young Rioja or similar Spanish red.
We've been down in the Languedoc for the past week, revisiting some of the winemakers we haven't seen for a while. They included Domaine de l'Arjolle, one of the first wineries we bought from when we bought a holiday home down here in the early 1990s.
I've always tended to go for Prosecco with Parma ham but last week I found an even better wine pairing - Malvasia.
Few these days dispute that red wine goes with fish - it's just a question of which wine and how the fish is cooked. Most would accept 'meaty' steak lookalikes like grilled or spiced tuna or salmon work with Pinot Noir but would hesitate to take it much further than that but last week I found a couple of surprisingly good fish matches at one of my favourite new wine bars 28-50.
If you're going to or hosting a Burns' Night dinner tonight and want to create a bit of a stir, crack open a bottle of Westmalle Dubbel, a classic Belgian Trappist ale that is still made by monks at the monastery of Westmalle. You could of course drink a Scottish beer - there are plenty of good ones - but haggis to my mind needs a bit of roundness, sweetness and strength, qualities you find more often in Belgian than British beers.
My match of the week for last week has to come from the sublime WIMPS lunch I had at the Ledbury which members can read about here. It was hard to decide which the best pairing was but I think the calf's kidney and 1998 Gilles Barge Côte Rôtie just shaved it.
Last week I had lunch at my new favourite London hangout, the wine bar Terroirs which is run by a partnership including the quirky and original Caves de Pyrène. It's a place that you'll absolutely love if you're a Francophile: it feels just like a Parisien wine bar - without the surly service. The food is also cracking but as we'd resolved to kick off the new year by splitting a Vacherin Mont d'Or, as you can read on my cheese blog The Cheeselover, we didn't get a chance this time to sample chef Ed Wilson's robust bistro food.
We're in Arles this week for our annual visit to the Rencontres Arles, the fabulous photography festival that takes over the entire town. Since we're with our youngest son, culinary exploration has to alternate with visits to his favourite pizza and sandwich joints which is how we ended up last night at a basic but brilliant pizzeria in the Trinquetaille on the other side of the Rhône.
The other night I went back to one of my favourite restaurants Ransome's Dock, a friendly neighbourhood restaurant in Battersea that has great food and an even more stellar wine list, put together with detailed and well-written tasting notes by chef/proprietor Martin Lam. (You can download it from the site)
With St Patrick's Day falling on a Monday this year - and in Easter week into the bargain - many are expected to be celebrating this coming Saturday so here's a reminder of just how great an Irish stout (Guinness or otherwise) is with that classic dish of boiled bacon and cabbage.
I'm in Chablis for a couple of days this week and last night enjoyed one of the classic local pairings: a basic Chablis and a dish of Jambon à la Chablisienne - thick slices of ham in a cream, tomato and white wine sauce. This version also had a touch of tarragon which cut the richness of the sauce. It contained all the elements that kicks a young Chablis into touch - saltiness (of the ham), acidity (the tomato) and richness (the cream), a perfect counterfoil to Chablis' own crispness.
I went to a great little bistro the other day in St-Rémy-de-Provence called - appropriately enough - Bistro Découverte. It's run by a very talented young sommelier I used to know in London called Claude Douard who worked for Marco Pierre White and Joel Rebuchon.
Thos of you of a certain age may remember that great '70s favourite ham and pineapple which conisisted of a large limp gammon steak, curling at the edges and a couple of fried pineapple rings. From a tin. There was one thing that was good about the dish though and that is that ham and pineapple are great together, something we've rather forgotten in these more sophisticated times.
I was reminded just how enjoyable this combination is the other day when I dropped by London's latest tapas bar Barrafina and enjoyed a pre-dinner pick-up of a glass of Hidalgo with some al-i-oli and toast. The sharp tangy sherry was the perfect foil for the crisp toast and silky, garlic-flavoured mayo that accompanied it.
I still remember my visit to the great Oktoberfest in Munich, the world's biggest beer festival. Mysteriously it's not held in October at all - or rather it doesn't start in October but in September - next weekend to be precise.

What many feared was correct: Bill Clinton outdid Barack Obama in oratory this week.
Clinton pulled off an interesting feat: making an information-rich convention speech. He resisted the crude, sound-bite rhythm expected of such addresses, holding off much of the applause, almost seeming to despair that the audience?s standing ovation tic might derail the points he was trying to make. And that was just it: He had points, often extended ones, in defense of Obama?s achievements. Here was the speech-as-lecture that was so typical in an earlier day, almost reminiscent of Woodrow Wilson making a detailed case for the League of Nations in high professorial style.
Yet his address felt not the least bit overstuffed or pedantic, nor did it err into the opposite excess, that of chattiness. One of his 1990s speechwriters once said, ?There is no one who is more easily articulate in my memory and I can?t remember a thing he said,? but there was much memorable in this speech. Lines such as ?We can?t afford to hand the reins to somebody who will double down on trickle down? and ?It takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did? will stick in minds. But of more lasting importance is that Clinton made the most compelling whiteboard case for re-electing Obama that anyone of note has made?orally or in print.
His Southern accent only helped send the speech over the plate, lending an air of warmth and sincerity that was key in getting him elected 20 years ago. Many assume that a Southern accent signals stupidity, but in our era, vernacular cadences are an aural emollient to American ears. A twang reads ?real.? In 2012, he who exhibits a command of facts in the accent of a country-western singer becomes the closest thing we have to a philosopher king.
That?s the way many of us used to feel about the current president. Four years ago, when teaching Plato?s Republic, I noted that Obama came up quite often as a possible example of the almost supernaturally wise kind of ruler Socrates described. Yet Obama has not been the communicator we expected. Why, for example, has he not himself been more inclined to make extended cases against the Republicans, rather than throw potshots while avoiding using his rivals? names?
?Defensive,? many would call it, such that many are saying that Clinton did for Obama what the president could not have. And Obama has, in fact, gotten down to specifics to a certain extent in his speeches over the past year or so. But one cannot imagine him taking it to the level Clinton did. ?Think about this?? Clinton often said before launching into a disquisition. Obama is less inclined to that mode?does he think it would sound too teacherly or condescending?
He should rethink. He?s older now, for one, no longer the ?skinny kid with the funny name.? He ventured at one point that being American is to cherish not only rights but responsibilities?but followed it up with gauzy scenarios, speechifying, rather than taking the occasion to highlight the value of this notion of the social contract and how America began as a unique opportunity to put that idea to the test?an opportunity the Republicans are besmirching in the name of being more ?American? than he is. It could have been grand.
Not that Obama didn?t address the ?un-American? graffito that the Tampa event scrawled upon him. Heralding a return to an America all about ?products stamped with ?the three letters USA,?? emphasizing a strong military, charging that the Romney/Ryan philosophy is "not who we are," he made all further claims that his approach to governance is somehow foreign and unpatriotic automatically qualify as nonsense. Dinesh D?Souza looks all the more a crank as of tonight.
Yet what we now know as the ?Obama style? has never seemed so un-arousing. The future that looked so stirring from the vantage point of the Grant Park speech turned out to be driven to a dismaying degree by the likes of decidedly unstirred personages such as Mitch McConnell and John Boehner.
His final passage, packing in journey, path, road and travel, followed by ?pull each other up? and ?eyes fixed on? was lovely in itself. It moved, in the physical and emotional senses of the word; the bit about the eyes evokes eyes on a certain prize, especially one on a mountaintop, and specifically one that a certain prophet named King told us that he saw, although he might not get there with us.
When it?s all over, we?ll either have a President Romney or a second Obama administration hobbled by people like Paul Ryan. And for those undecided voters who were truly seeking to be swayed, I suspect that Mr. Clinton was the one who made up their minds.

I've read the topic of whether or not God discriminates between Jews and non-Jews, but does God love non-Jews? Does it say anywhere that He does love non-Jews. I don't believe that God hates non-Jews or that Jews should hate non-Jews. I ask because someone is putting these questions to me and I am not sure how to answer all of them.
The Talmud in Megila (10b) relates: When the Egyptians were drowning in the sea, the angels wanted to sing God's praises. God silenced them, saying "My handiwork is drowning in the sea, and you want to sing?" This strongly implies that God loves all of His creations. |
It is written in Gen 6:8. My translation: And Noach was liked by God. So we see that non-Jews that obey the laws are liked by God. |
I think this answers the question, in that God wouldn't offer salvation to those He does not love. |
That His generosity is universal and His kindness is all-embracing, as written "The L-ord is good to all, and His mercies are on all His works" (Tehilim 145:9) (duties of the heart - Gate of Trust ch.2) |

Thread: Lifetime memberships
Jun 09 2012 11:26 AM #1
Lifetime memberships
I am a founder with a lifetime membership since 2007 beta. My wife though not a founder also holds a lifetime membership. We often wonder how many free to play and premium accounts out there would jump at a lifetime membership if Turbine ever decided to offer one again. True, Turbine did say that they would never offer it again, but honestly how many times has Turbine changed it's mind in the past? Anyway, let's say that they offer lifetime for $300 with the 500 TP per month thing that VIPs enjoy. How many people would jump on it? Who knows, with enough interest maybe Turbine actually will offer it. Not holding out any hope, I think that would actually loose revenue for them. But if they truely had love for the game, they might.

Re: Lifetime memberships
I think I prefer the "month to month" arrangement that Turbine and I currently have. I see no point in a lifetime membership, however, at my age "day to day" would be more appropriate.

Re: Lifetime memberships
Prior to FTP, the game required a subscription to access. All lifetime did was remove the sub.
Now that the sub isn't required to access the servers, lifetime accounts were converted to permanent VIP.
ALL the content prior to Isenguard I had to buy in addition to my lifetime sub.
How much would a deal to make the current VIP status permanent be worth?
500 TP a month for 12 months = 6000 TP a year. Times the lifetime of the game.
If I didn't have my former lifetime sub, I certainly wouldn't consider buying one now. I'd be watching for the double points bonuses and picking up one of the larger packages. They'll give better bang for the buck than a lifetime would, because you get all those points at once, VS over time.
If they offered a new $199.00 USD deal that converted you to a permenant VIP member, it would be a waste IMO, especially for a new player who hasn't unlocked Moria and beyond. They'd still have to unlock that and at 500 TP's per month, they'd have to wait & grind for a fair bit. edited to add: they'd also have to unlock all the SoA content after Lone Lands. I bought the SoA box, my lifetime never paid for that either. ONLY the removal of the sub fee.
IMO, a lifetime now doesn't make sense. Bonus point bundles are the best option. And for swift routes to be permanently unlocked, buy one month sub in addition. It will serve you better than making VIP permanent for a flat fee. At least this late in the game... IMO.Last edited by Jarryd; Jun 09 2012 at 11:58 AM.

Re: Lifetime memberships
I am also a founding lifer and have for the most part been happy with the arrangment. I dont however see much if any reason or i should say advantage to becomeing a lifer at this point and time, for the most part the bennies of the lifetime account are gone and if you want to pay in advance they do offer yearly VIP. Turbine in my ever so humble opinion made lots of promises to us founders/lifetime account holders thay they have weasled out of. I am waiting with some trepidation for this next instance cluster update after the expansion to see if they take the last remaining bennie from us as well. but hey I do get a cool flowery sig picture!!

Re: Lifetime memberships
I am a lifetime founder and have two lifetime accounts. It was a great deal and I definitely got the most out of it, on both accounts. I don't know if I would get it now, so many years after the game as come out and they've added f2p. But at the time it was definitely worth it, and it's nice to know that this game is always here for me to come back to.
Jun 09 2012 12:42 PM #7
Re: Lifetime memberships
With the F2P conversion, the SOA box was deemed to be nothing more than an upgrade to premium, not a purchase of any SOA content.
Under the current VIP agreement (lifetime or otherwise), the subscription itself covers access to every zone in the game except for Moria, Mirkwood, Isengard, and (in a few months) Rohan. Every other zone in the game is included with the subscription, as are any upcoming non-expansion content packs.
Jun 09 2012 01:11 PM #8
Re: Lifetime memberships
Yeah, that little detail would probably get re-defined if they added an option for permenant VIP status now.
Back in the day anyone who bought lifetime, almost certainly had originally paid for some version of the Shadows of Angmar box, (I own the special edition) or a Moria edition (own the special edition there as well) that included it (SoA.)
As for SoA box giving premium... not entirely sure. or at least not for many Euro users anyway. That SoA box pre-dated the merge with the gamecoders(?) gamemasters(?) whatever it was, so those Euro users with a SoA box got nothing.
That box granted a restricted license to use content and required a sub fee to access. So it was a point of confusion for many.
My point for iterating was that, current FTP players don't get entire SoA access, VIP's (active sub) do... do premiums?
Given that no original box was purchased by newer players, that detail would probably have to be redefined. Though it is the games oldest content, perhaps by now, it might be considered like free-ware if a flat-fee VIP offer was cooked up.
At this stage of the game, those asking for a flat-fee for permanent VIP status, don't really understand what it gives. A new player sinking 199.00 USD would have to unlock alot of content. Would that include SoA (after LL) as well? dunno.
Regardless, I'd recommend picking up the best double points bonus you can afford and sub for a month. In the end, that will get you further than asking, at this point, for a flat rate for permanent VIP status (IMO.)
edited to add: just looked it up, premiums DO NOT get SoA in it's entirety. They have the same access as FTP. But they have more character slots, a higher gold cap, and slightly more priority than FTP for log-in.Last edited by Jarryd; Jun 09 2012 at 01:18 PM.

Re: Lifetime memberships
They were still offering lifetime accounts when I started playing, but at the time I wasn't that into this game. Would I purchase one now if they suddenly offered it? Maybe.
It would depend on many things, the most important being price. That being said, I seem to work pretty well with going VIP for a few months, then sitting at premium. I do this on and off, mostly when I'm tried of grinding out tp. I'm a pretty patient person though and don't need immediate access to everything.
Jun 09 2012 02:33 PM #11
Re: Lifetime memberships
My main account has almost everything unlocked, and has done for the most part for a year or more, so unless it were ~$150 for lifetime, I'd almost certainly decline. All I'm lacking at the moment till Rohan comes out is the new skirmish (And Barrow-Downs Survival, but I've no interest in that one, other than that, I've got everything unlocked other than what you get for a single months VIP).
My second account... Has precious little unlocked, but I hardly play it anymore, whereas in the past, I often gave it a whirl for the fun of it, so again, I wouldn't bother.
... A pity, as I'd love to hand over a pile of cash to Turbine as thanks for the game (Regardless of their current senility regarding the pricing of the expansion), but theres just not enough in it for me to be worth doing...
Jun 09 2012 03:20 PM #12
Re: Lifetime memberships
I think it will come down to who we ask. Would I buy another lifetime membership? Yes. I played 5 years that 60 Months. If I was paying montly Fee for VIP. I would only be paying $5 a month. Next year My cost would be $4.17 and the longer I play the cost will be even lower.
But my Lifetime covers the 500 Turbine Points a month. Total the 5 years that equal 30,000 Turbine points for the cost of $300.00. If lotro started out f2p it a good deal.

Re: Lifetime memberships
I don't ever see it happening because F2P is the new lifetime account.

Re: Lifetime memberships
Yea i returned when game went F2P and i spent £40 on points and bought all the quest packs and i already had expantions... basicaly i own all the games content now and thats basically lifetime, i have all content when i want it without having to sub to do any quest zone or expansion so i think if people wanted lifetime they would spend e.g. $300 just on points and buy everything...
ps its a lot cheaper to buy ALL content on store them it would be to go lifetime, if you add up the points its far cheaper.
Jun 09 2012 04:59 PM #15
Re: Lifetime memberships
I joined right away at launch in 2007. Played for two years , dropped out, and then returned six months ago. I never saw the attraction to lifetime, so I bought two one year subscriptions. My problem with lifetime anything - warranties, memberships, etc. is that I usually outlive the company, so my lifetime membership means the lifetime of the company, not me.
As soon as they idiot proof something, the others send in some slack-jawed, drooling stooge to gum up the works.

Re: Lifetime memberships
I reckon you have to wonder if a lifetime membership would at this point be more beneficial than paying a monthly subscription for the remaining time the game has left.
When we were offered a lifetime membership back in 2007, I willingly accepted and after having played the game for 5 years (since beta), the amount of money I paid for the lifetime membership paid itself in the first 2 years. So technically I am playing for free on a VIP account.
So should Turbine offer something like a lifetime membership again the main thing you have to wonder is if the game will be around long enough to outlast the money you paid for lifetime membership and whether or not you still see yourself playing this game after that time. Then its beneficial.
Discussing the fact that you have buy the expansions is irrelevant, as everyone has to pay for the expansions. You can't expect to sit front row for a dime

Re: Lifetime memberships
I want a lifetime supply of doritos to go with my lifetime LOTRO membership, that is, if I ever bought a LT membership. I learned the hard way how this stuff works 20 years ago.
A really nice, fancy steakhouse opens up and has outside sales reps selling discount cards jammed with benefits. Free desserts with purchase, 50% off meals, stuff like that. It costs $199 but has a ton of discounts and I figured if I only used half the card I would be way ahead.
Restaurant lasted three months. I got four of the coupons used on my card so I flushed most of that $199 down the toilet. Been very very wary of anything of this ilk since then.As soon as they idiot proof something, the others send in some slack-jawed, drooling stooge to gum up the works.
Jun 10 2012 12:59 PM #21
Re: Lifetime memberships
Something like a "lifetime subscription" is always a gamble. Back in March 2007, I'd been in the beta for the game, knew I liked it, knew that I tend to play MMOs I like for quite long periods, had enough disposable income that U$199 wasn't half a month's rent or food money, and took the gamble.
Five years later I'm glad I did it then. I haven't played all the time for those five years, but the game's been here and I've been able to log in any time I chose to do so. And even with taking time out, I've still been playing for free in terms of subscription fees for quite some time now. When F2P came along I never had to worry about whether one of my characters could go and quest in any zone (as long as I paid for the expansions). I get my 500TP a month and have the option to buy more if I wish. I have all the VIP perqs automatically on any character I create.
Would I do it today? I'm not so sure. Five years is quite a long lifespan for an MMO. Will LOTRO still be here in another 5 years? No one can say, but I'd guess it's not as good a bet as it was in 2007. Would the conveniences of never having to worry about what access I have and whether I've remembered to renew the sub be worth it?
Perhaps if they offered lifetimes again for U$199, I might go for it. However, IIRC, the last time they offered them it was for U$299 and these days they'd likely have to calculate on a higher price to make it financially viable for them. At considerably higher prices, I rather doubt that I would buy one.
In any case, it's all moot because they've said consistently for the last several years that it isn't going to be offered again.

Re: Lifetime memberships
Probably not many would jump at it. Thee and me with LT has paid for itself at this point and we're probably considered lower than a f2p account by WB/Turbine because we've been cost centres rather than revenue centres for a while now.
But for someone to consider LOTRO lifetime at this point in the game's maturity, would be gambling the game will still be here in three years to make that 300 buck investment pay for itself. I guess -- I dont' know what the current pricing scheme is, right now I THINK I recall it being something like 12 bucks a month after Open Beta.

Re: Lifetime memberships
All right. Thank everyone for your feedback. This was just to satisfy my curiosity. I guess for me as some of you have already said, back in 2007 in LOTROs infancy lifetime was an amazing deal. But now with f2p, just upgrading to VIP for a month at a time might be a better idea.

Re: Lifetime memberships
I may be a little late to the party on this one, but if lifetime subscriptions were ever offered again, both my husband and I would at the least take a good look at what comes with it. I'd probably get it for myself, because it'd be easier for me in the long run.
That said, I would hope that any such offer at LEAST gave me any and all new skirmishes as they became available, as well as the monthly 500 TP, and maybe the next expansion that comes out after RoR (or whichever one we'd be up to by then).
Jun 11 2012 09:03 AM #25
Re: Lifetime memberships
You know you can do what i did, just buy a flat out £50 of points ( far cheaper then lifetime sub ) and buy ALL quest packs, ALL skirmishes, and so on and you have basicaly premium/vip I own all the games content as a premium f2p players and the only difference from lifetime is i fdont get 500 poinbts a month and cant enter the ettenmoors to pvp which in this game i dont care about anyway... so if you want a lifetime sub just do that its 1/4 1/5th the price and only 2 disadvantages which are not that bad.

Re: Lifetime memberships
I'm a founding life timer, and i only ever payed for the Expansions, and Base Game SoA.
here is a list of my, Ahem, activated products ^^ (some how the new Pre-order Rohan aint in there yet.)
Game Version History
Extra Character Slot
Shadows of Angmar Pre-order
Shadows of Angmar Trial
Shadows of Angmar Dell Bundle
Mines of Moria Standard
Shared Storage
2009 Anniversary Program Reward
Shadows of Angmar Promo
Shadows of Angmar Standard
Siege of Mirkwood
Shadows of Angmar Pre-order
Extra Character Slot
Rise of Isengard
This is all just from buying either boxed versions in the past, SoA and Moria, and the digital pre-order deals like Mirkwood, Isengard and now Rohan...
All in all the game lotro has costed me, a total of around 450,00 and that is for 5 years playing, so its basically like buying 1 to 2 games a year...
((ofcourse now and then i bought a few TP's, but thats it))
So 5 years ago, it was a wonderful deal, considering the fact that i had to take a subscription of 15,00 a month, which would've costed me 540,00 up until F2P. even after F2P the free Points and just the unlimited access for any new Alt... was still great...
Will it be a great deal now, meh i don't know... i mean even if the game goes on for another 5 years. After F2P a lot of changes have been made, and like many state you are probably best of getting the double points packs and invest in Quest packs to permanently unlock them...
I would think twice before getting a life time account at this state of the game and time it is in..
Still one heck of a game ^^Last edited by DuroNL; Jun 11 2012 at 09:22 AM.

Re: Lifetime memberships
As a recent arrival to the game, I think the way it is set up now, provided the Company is ultra careful with its revenue stream, guarantees a healthy future.
I might be wrong, but to me a lifetime sub might well be counterproductive, given that the game wasn't originally intended or designed to go the f2p route (Guild Wars proved the viability of that route, but it was a game designed to be viable on that route).
As such, with LOTRO, I think an excellent transition has been done. Given the very uncertain Global economic circumstances (that's putting it mildly), LOTRO might well prove to be one of the very few survivors, in a few years time.
So as long as everybody in the Company is paying attention, and ensuring as wide a spectrum of players as possible are having fun (I'll be honest, there's things in LOTRO I will never participate in - such as the PvP, and that's because I PvP in real PvP games - but as long as there are enough people enjoying those things - including what passes for PvP - then power to them), then things should be ok.
I started off ftp after friends told me about it (even though a PvP addict, I do like good PvE as well, though can't stand 'raiding', other than perhaps an occasional Realm wide type event, such as killing the dragon used to be in DAoC, with 100's turning up for it, and 100's of people needing rezzing, buffing, and healing *grins*), and quickly went VIP (now having enough TP's to get Moria, when I am ready). I'll probably cancel after a bit, when I work out if I am headed for the Continent for an extended period, but will resub when I get back, and start saving the TP's for the next expansion after Moria.
By then GW2 will be out, and I'll be after my PvP fix again, but LOTRO will be the game I play alongside it.
Not saying it is impossible to mess up LOTRO (it sure is possible, seen it happen too much), but the odds of that happening, to me anyway, seem rather remote. It's definitely one of the best games around of its type, and maybe even the very best (if I could have a Gnome Swashie I would be in 7th Heaven).

Re: Lifetime memberships
I would not. Lifetime was a valid option at the start... and its why I played LOTRO. But that was 5 years ago. I would not invest heavily in a game at this point in its life regardless of the game. And with F2P to boot, the TP value isn't that great... especially with the store pricing being so high.
Add in the high prices of the expansion and the fiasco of the instances and the mixed content across versions... I'm not sure if I can justify the expansion, let alone the thought of a lifetime account. (admittedly, this is a somewhat separate issue).
Jun 26 2012 11:57 AM #30
I would purchase a lifetime sub due to the long term prospects (i.e., the TP stipend alone would be worth it across 4-5 years), and the fact it allows me to jump into and out of the game without worrying about how much time of VIP perks I have left.
On the other hand, I'm planning to unsubscribe before my yearly subscription runs out in August. I have all previous expansions (including the most expensive RoI one, with the Path of the Fellowship zone pack), about 5K TP stashed, I'm playing 9 characters that are currently in the 20-30 level range in a roughly even fashion (so I would get enough TP from deeds to purchase about anything I want anyway), I already have most of the extras I would need anyway, I already have 3 other MMOs on lifetime subs, and I'm planning on mostly stopping with LotRO for a few months at least (so I can give D3 and TSW some attention).
Jun 29 2012 03:22 PM #31
The offering of lifetime membership is not a matter of wanting to offer, it has more to do with common business sense.
When the lifetime membership offer was made, LOTRO was suffering from cashflow issues, they were essentially out of money and trying to get the game launched. So they offered the lifetime membership for like $200 to get a strong influx of money to see the game thru.
Now that the game is stable and has a steady clientele, offering a lifetime membership would be a terrible idea for in the long run it would result with a severe shortage of cash to operate and improve the game. As it is now, between the lifetime, free-to-play and premium, the game is hurting for funding, since their only income is from the limited number of VIPs and store sales so many people tend to object to.
There is one thing, I will ask of all of you to consider:
When the company does not pull a profit, even a small one, and at best it can break even it its cost, they will stop offering the service. If you truly like LOTRO and you want the game to go on for along time, and get polished with less bugs, then you must find a way for the company to increase revenue and profits for there to be a corporate willigness to continue working in htis business and make it better; in a way, we need more VIPs to ensure a steady revenue source is large enough to accomplish the profit and funding needed to polish the game.

Over in that "other game" in a "galaxy far far away" there have been raging arguments since day 1 about Liftetime Memberships and what that means in coded game-speak.
Paraphrased and poorly remembered it means: That the game is about to tank and they are trying to grab as much money as they can before the servers shut down.
Along with that goes : Yes I would and No I wouldn't buy arguments.
I own 2 founder/lifetimes accounts and 1/lifetime account. I also have a few F2P accounts laying about too.
Would I buy another lifetime account? Yes, in all likelyhood.
But even so, if my poor understanding of LOTRO financial history goes, the original Lifetime accounts where offered when the game came out but per some, Turbine was already in dire straights. They offered it again periodically and per some, things looked even worse for them until WB rode in on their white horse.
So, I would guess in hind sight that the Lifetime offer was in fact due to financial distress rather than the expected longevity of the game. But it worked out in my favor and I have never once regretted dropping the dollars on the game then.
Since WB/T though, I've had my ups and downs with the game and have had my share of doubts about what I get from it compared to other activities I could do. But still the positives outweight the negatives and I would convert one of my F2P accounts to VIP.
As for that "other game" I would have bought a lifetime membership to it but they never offered one and now they have a rather unfortunate debacle to work out. I decided I didn't want to fund their "working it out" part so I canceled my sub and I am Very Glad I didn't have the option to buy a lifetime account - what they have atm isn't worth it to me.
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
<Your winnings, sir.>
[sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

In that "other game" in a "galaxy far far away" that did not offer lifetime memberships because of <fill in the blank>. My take is that they thought they had a winner (which they did) and were so sure of that they didn't offer a long-term membership option.
Regardless of all the reasons why or why not, when "the debacle" happened they lost 400,000 within 6 months of launch. They still have over 1.2 million subs so I don't think they are hurting that badly but for the sake of number crunching...
IF they had offered life time (the lotro price was @$200 US dollars iirc) and IF those 400,000 had purchased at that price they would have pocketed $80,000,000 US dollars.
Instead they settled for 400,000 * $15/mo * 6 months = $36,000,000 US dollars.
Had all of the 400,000 stayed for 1 full year they would have earned $72,000,000. And IF all stayed they would have earned that amount for every year there after.
For the accountants the No Lifetime Offer was probably a no-brainer but you know RL happened and now they have lost out $72,000,000 per year PLUS the $44,000,000 they might have earned if they had let some folks grab a lifetime offer.
So.. its not as easy or simple as it looks and I'm sure WB/T watch VERY carefully to spot the trends here.
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

[sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

If this was a true f2p game, they wouldn't be accepting monthly subscription payments at all. Any VIP player should be getting everything in the store for free, not double dipping in their wallets.

Testimony in the Wayne Oxley murder trial centers around the man Oxley says actually committed the crime. Six people in all took the stand Tuesday, talking about everything from what they saw the night of the murder to the connection between the victim and the man Oxley says actually killed him. Cara Thomas was in the courtroom.
ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, N.Y. -- Two police officers took the stand on Tuesday during the Wayne Oxley trial and in both testimonies, John Shannon was an integral part of their stories.
Shannon is a key witness to the trial, but was killed in a house fire after testifying during Oxley's first trial.
Steven Fisher was a detective for the Ogdensburg Police Department at the time of Trickey's murder. During his testimony, he confirmed that information from John Shannon directed the investigation toward Oxley. The specifics of that information was not shared. He also testified that Shannon was a confidential police informant for the OPD and would participate in narcotics buys for police investigations, some regarding the deceased Bernard Trickey Jr. Four other people took the stand Tuesday, telling the jury what they saw or heard the night of the murder. Kathleen Murray, who lives on New York Avenue in Ogdensburg, said she heard people out on the street, loud "popping" noises and saw a man who she thought was Wayne Oxley walk down the street to Trickey's home. She will be back on the stand Wednesday.
Now the witness list is getting shorter, but not only because people are testifying. The defense requested that Wayne Oxley's son be taken off the witness list because he wasn't comfortable getting on the stand.

England received a boost ahead of the November Tests with the news that Leicester Tigers scrum-half Ben Youngs should return to action next month.
Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill has revealed that Youngs, who suffered a shoulder injury during England's second Test against South Africa in June, is way ahead of schedule in his recovery.
The 23-year-old was expected to be sidelined until December following surgery but Cockerill reckons he should be back to full fitness in time for the November 10 Test against Fiji at Twickenham before subsequent clashes with South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
"Things are going well for Ben and we expect to see him back playing by around the middle of October," Cockerill told the Daily Telegraph.
"He'll need some game time then but it's looking good."
In more good news for England fans, forwards Tom Croft, Louis Deacon and Courtney Lawes are all expected to return from injury in the next few weeks.
