MMORPG.com writer Matt McLean writes this new look at the Mines of Moria expansion for Turbine's Lord of the Rings Online, outlining some of the new areas introduced by the expansion.

Back in November, I penned a missive relating to the new Mines of Moria expansion (herein referred to as Moria) to the popular MMORPG, The Lord of the Rings Online (herein referred to as LotRO). Now that a few months have passed, I'd like to revisit a few things and give you a bit more analysis.

Many people have lauded the release of Moria as a great addition to the LotRO world, and that couldn't be a truer statement. The developers at Turbine have really outdone themselves. That being said, there are a few bugs here and there that pop up from time to time. They mostly fall in the category of "annoying" more than anything (disappearing and reappearing grodbogs in the Redhorn Lodes for one), but there are a few things that can be taken care of with a few patches. Overall, it's been an exceptionally smooth release.

 This is a great summary.  My highest level character is 54, so it covers pretty much all of the content I have seen thus far.  Good stuff!

Good read. I just dinged 60 last night, and still have a ton of Moria quests to do: no shortage of things to do there!

Being in my mid 40's, I am looking forward to seeing the info on Moria.  I'm just beginning to get a feel for that aspect of the game and look forward to part 2.

This is another good overview. Just one caution: Unless they change it in the patch today, the alt  F10 will only work at night in Lotro. So it is really hard to see underground sometimes when it's day, but there's no daylight.
