Codemasters merging with TurbineFollow

Hey folks!

What do you think about the fact that Lord of the Rings will soon be managed by Turbine again in Europe, too?
I think it's awesome - especially since now we Europeans will also get to have the lottery and stuff that so far only the Americans had :D
The only thing that sucks is that the game will be down for a few days at the beginning of June, but I guess that's ok.
I'm also looking forward to playing on the US servers since I got friends there who I can now play with :D

What's your opinion on this??
