Moria is getting a revision as well. Players have told Turbine that they loved the solofication of the Volume 1 epic, but get bogged down in Volume 2 when forced to group in Moria. Players will now be able to solo through Volume 2 and to do so, Turbine updated quite a few of the mechanics in Moria. Battles have been retooled as skirmishes. Kate then speaks of Turbine's commitment to keeping the game fresh for both new and experienced players and how they don't want you to feel that you're playing a four year old game. One of the things they've done to facilitate this is updating the look of the character journal.
Other changes include a more streamlined interface with the cash shop, including a try it on feature for clothes and dyes so players can actually see how an item will look on them before buying. The mechanics for Legendary Items are getting a makeover too, with greater customization and flexibility.
