Bough some new hardware and re-installed my Windows, so I need to re-install the game now too, but... I can't. In "Pando Media Booster. Please read" Turbine wrote that there's no more Pando Booster version of the client anymore and that's the problem. There's only two ways to get the game AND I can't use both. Here's why:
1. Steam. The best way. Unfortunately, there's a region lock in Steam and game isn't avaliable in my Country. So, it's not an option at all.
2. Happy Cloud. Which is even worse thing than Pando. My antivirus software removes it without even asking me, or letting me a chance to add it to trusted programs. Like "WARNING! There's a dangerous virus on your PC! It'll be removed right away!". And I WON'T disable my antivirus to play LOTRO. Because I'll need to disable it each and every time I run the game and it's absolutely horrible thing to do. I'm paying for my antivirus software and I won't disable it.
So... There's simply NO way for me to return to the game and get what I've paid for now. Turbine said "Alternate download options will be made available in the near future." But hello! It's April already! More than a month passed! Where's alternative download options?! Any suggestions about how to install the game? Aside of stupid ones like "antivirus software is useless anyway" and "move to a better Country in which LOTRO is available through Steam". Also, I don't have CDs with game, I joined when it was f2p already.
Thank you.
