LotRO to have separate versions US and Euro

Just like World of Warcraft, the Lord of the Rings Online will have US servers and European servers, and they won't be compatible with each other. Quote via Warcry: "What this means is that the version of the game you can play is determined by the service operator that supports your region. Since the service operators maintain completely separate billing, hosting, and support systems it is not possible to allow players to access both services - they're just not compatible with each other."

The good news is that apart from the minor difference from which date on the preorder customers can keep their characters, the release date for the European and US version will be the same, April 24th. So while you can't import a US version and play it here in Europe, most people won't really feel the need to do so.
