Lord of the Rings Online

I just read how there will be no fast traveling to farther points in the mines, meaning you literally have to go through the whole mines to get to the elven area of Lothlorien. To me this makes the whole damn expansion sound amazing, because it will really be a true "Dungeon". Whats your thoughts ladies and gents?

hmmm... the maps from PAX show stables, so it seems like there will be fast travel.

there are stables for sure...but maybe no swift travel options?

I like the idea of not having a swift travel to these points.

Time sink, pain in the ass, annoying.. thats about it

I honestly find it hard to believe that there won't be any swift travel. A lot of people who play this game log in for 1-2 hours at a time and mess around (casual players)... they won't be logging in if it's gonna take an hour to travel to different locations... I predict major whining if this holds true.

Judging from the maps, there seems to be a number of horse-heads throughout Moria. If they are not fast travel, well, they'll at least carry you monster-free through most of the map it seems, but yeah, it'll probably take quite some time considering the size of the area. (travel in this game, at first, is an experience. it gets tiresome after a while though, when lots of your time is spent traveling. realism in this area is a joke, and a waste of time. would have been better spent in making combat more realistic or some such)

I imagine you're probably jumping to conclusions and I bet like other areas in the game fast travel will be tied somehow into factions. There are stables so that would denote there should be fast travel at some point.

Well lets see where the OP 'read' this bit of information, actually.
