You'll get to kill some goblins and orcs, but you'll have to wait quite a bit longer to kill black riders, theres a reason why frodo doesn't start the film running about killing blackriders

Good good, there is some awesome scenery in Isenguard so looking forward to some more screenshot fodder. Will be good to see Orthanc ingame.
Nice to see that the f2p players will be getting Monster Play too. Wonder if the f2p players will have to have the expansion in order to have the monster play.
Also nice to see an additional area for it coming in, I guess Ettenmoors will die for a bit.
Wonder how many TPs the expansion will be, I'm guessing several thousand.

Guess I'll have to stop buying hats until we find out
Hehehe, I've been saving all my TPs for expansions, almost got 7000 now. Should be enough I would hope !

Have a good read through the basics on the LOTRO Wiki. It's invaluable.
Took me a little while before I realised health was referred to as "Morale".
This is my biggest tip > Join the chat channel called globallff.

And doubly so for including all that trademark garbage
Dont recall me sayng I fail at the internet
That was the press release copy and pasted. Pick out what you want! Bleh guess works PC DNS didnt update didnt see previous posts till now
I still vote we get a group of us together, all pick balanced classes and arrange a few hours a week where we play through together. Solo'ing takes so long and you can quickly lose patience with the game. Getting a group of 6 that meet up for 2-3 hours a night would be awesome. Those that were there for the Barrow Downs/Red Maid/Fornost runs should be able to agree with that.
Just told Feliz about the news, his response was that we take all the hobbits we can find to Isengard.

Soloing is surprisingly quick, only took 3 or 4 days /played to get to 65 on the character I soloed.
Having said that, its always more fun in a group

Really!? What class? I'm having a nightmare levelling my Champion in Moria. He's been stuck in the 50's for what seems like a year. I'm 11k off 54 at the minute.
That's just the Moria effect The damn place goes on forever, and you just feel like you're never going to get out. I have 3 characters in the early 50's now because I just couldn't take any more Moria and levelled an alt.

BUT I WANT TO GO TO LORIEN I MISS GREEN
.I may try to hit 55 over the next few days/weeks and just head straight there. Find someone to give me a hand whilst I level there!
Was my Hunter, teleporting about helped immensely, especially when doing books 9-15 of Volume 1 which involved a HUGE amount of travelling.
Heheh, yeah there does come a point (I commonly found myself hitting the point at around level 57) where you just want to get the hell out from being underground in Moria and see the skies again. Its usually at that point that I make a bee-line for the first hall and head out to Lothloriens areas.
