Been in since Closed Beta as well. My main toon is the one I started in Open Beta (since they did a server wipe going from Closed to Open -- and they let you keep any toons you had from Open Beta if you pre-ordered the game before it went Gold). Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there were only two servers at Open Beta - Brandywine and Meneldor (my memory may be spotty here -- it was a LONG time ago now after all :-). So, any toons on ALL other servers HAVE to be quite a bit younger than toons kept from the Open Beta servers (excepting premium-service server swaps). I bought two lifetimes before LotRO:SoA went Gold - one for myself and one for my son. We both have never stopped playing since then (though we've been known to take a few weeks off now-and-again :-).
