The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria er den f�rste utvidelsespakken til The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. Den ble offentliggjort 14. mars 2008 under Codemasters Online Connect 2008, og utgitt 18. november 2008. Utvidelsespakken foreg�r Moria, en enorm underjordisk by nord-vest i Midgard. Omr�dene Eregion og Lothl�rien er ogs� inkludert. H�yeste niv� �kes til 60 og seks b�ker, som begynner en ny hovedhistorie, er inkludert. Turbine har ogs� laget to nye klasser: Rune-Keeper og Warden. They added two new classes: the warden and the rune keeper. I was happy with concept behind the classes. The warden is a mix between the champion(melee AOE DPS), and the guardian(tank). Great solo class! They are officially a tank class, but again, they have decent DPS as well. They have a "gambit" system. What this is, is when you click skills in a certain succession, you will come up with a certain special skill to use. It's good to memorize the gambits and what skills get them to pop up. Some heal, others do extra damage, still others give better blocking, etc... The rune keeper is a fairly advanced class. I thought it was a lot of fun, but there is a bit of a learning curve - especially if you are new to the game. That said, once they come into their own, they can be great ranged DPS(second to the hunter), and great healers(second to the minstrel). There is a range bar that goes both ways. The more it climbs one way, the more the skills get powerful. The reverse is true as well though. If you are blasting things with your DPS skills, your heals will be weaker(some will not even be available) - and vice versus. They overhauled the graphics a bit. I noticed they looked sharper right away. I like the new legendary items. Even if you are one who likes to race to the max level, you can still continue to advance because the items also level up as well. As they level they get more powerful. Next is the new areas themselves. I have only been playing a few months, so I am not an authority in this area. That said, many of my kinsmen(guild mates) have been there. They say the graphics are really awesome,Lord of the Rings Mines of Moria code, and give you a real sense of being in an underground ancient civilization. They also commented on how enormous and how epic the place felt. As far as PvP - or PvMP in this case, They revamped and did some balances to the Moors. The moors,lotro cd key,Mines of Moria serial, for those who don't know is the Ettinmoors. There is a instanced area where players fight against monster players and also do quests/objectives in a very large valley. The valley is a lot bigger than AV (Alterac Valley from WOW). I want to point out one thing that was true before the expansion, and continues to be now: the crafting. The crafting in this game is very well thought out. It's not perfect(besides we all have different definitions of that anyway), but it is fun and relevant. I can buy items that were crafted that are pretty much in the same ball park as PvP and raid items. This makes for a decent player economy.buy Mines of Moria,lord of the rings store, It's not as complicated as EQ2, but more so that WOW, IMHO. A good happy medium if you will. Anyway, as a long time 3+ year WOW player who recently moved on, I can really appreciate this game, and the great job they did on the expansion. If you are a fan of the Lord of the Rings,Lord of the Rings Mines of Moria keys, or simply love MMO's with a good but not stifling story, then this is a good place to invest some time into. *edit 2/27/09* I still love this game. In fact the soon to come book 7(free content update) will open up all of Lothlorien! They wanted to release this content with the expansion, but decided to hold off as they only wanted to release it when it was refined and done well. I can really respect their attention to detail. As for Moria, I am loving it! It really is epic and well done. There are many different "environs" in it so you don't get bored with the same ole same ole. If you haven't yet gotten it, or were thinking of getting back into the game, now is a great time to do so!
