When you start the free to try on September 10, 2010
you will have the three starter zones "quest packs" :

Ered Luin
The Shire
Lone Lands

to unlock the rest of the Shadow of Angmar's quest packs you would need (Turbine Point costs are from BETA so may change)

Note that without having the zones quest pack activated you will not earn any TP for killing mobs in that zone

Quest Packs:
LLs 600
NDs 900
Evendim 750
Trollshaws 750
Forochel 750
MMs 750
Angmar 900
Eregion 750
Enedwaith 750

So after the three free starter areas you can have acquired a POSSIBLE 705 TP

But you will not have opened fast travel, increased bag space, removed gold cap, enabled the ability to POST auctions etc

So if I understand it you now start another character on another server (remember a FREE player can only have one character per account)

and do it all over again PLUS all the deeds from the lone lands

705 + 180 = 885 TP but unless the TP cost changes you have to roll ANOTHER toon on ANOTHER server to earn 15 more points to unlock the North Downs quest pack at 900 TP

Doing all the deeds in ND only brings you 145 TP and the next zone Evendim (which hopefully still includes Oat Baron) requires
750 TP to open so you have to go to another server (might as well use the one with the 15 point guy on it, delete him and grind out 605 more TP........

But you will not have opened fast travel, increased bag space, removed gold cap, enabled the ability to POST auctions etc

On mmorsel's page How to Earn Turbine Store Points
http://lotro.mmorsel.com/2010/08/how-to-earn-turbine-points.html

they say "Level an alt. The TP on your account is shared between characters, so the TP you earn on your alt can be used by your main character. If you are short on character slots, you can earn TP with a character on another server. Note that while this seems possible based on Turbine statements, it can’t be verified in Beta."

In my other f2p thread I had forgotten about the new dynamic layering which will create a new instance of a zone when the area exceeds 100, 150, 200?? we do not know but I DO know from having 11 chars 54 to 65 on several servers is that even having ONE other person competing with me for the critters needed in the kill quests REALLY slowed me down and to do just the deeds in say Breeland you will do 36 deeds (remember most deeds are two parts)

oh and there is a 90 cent special for SoA at http://www.gogamer.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=10201699&extid=August2510 so for 90cents plus $15 monthly fee gets you to vip then down to premium after you do not pay your next installment you would remove some of the harsher penalties.. see chart:

Not quite sure who had it first. TU or RPG-Exploiters
