Codemasters Online is inviting fathers from across the UK to celebrate Father's Day in Middle-earth by taking part in the Father's Day celebrations scheduled to take place in Lord of the Rings Online - presumably the fathers who would rather spend the day logged into a virtual world that a day with their family.

One June 15 a series of in-game Father's Day events are scheduled to take place including father and sons fishing, music and fireworks as well as ad hoc competitions and challenges taking place throughout the day. Fathers are invited to attend these events with their sons and daughters.

"What better way to celebrate Father's Day than spend it with your loved ones in the greatest fantasy world ever created?" said David Solari Vice President of Codemasters Online. "We invite fathers to come and enjoy the festivities that will we be running all day to mark this special occasion."
