The way that it works in Lord of the Rings Online is best expressed by describing a series of quests. The bandits that held the player captive throughout the game's introductory sequence have far from stopped harassing the inhabitants of Archet. After completing a few quests for the high-ups in town, the player is offered a chance to delivery a decisive blow against the brigands. This offensive proves successful, but during its course, one key event takes place: unbeknownst to its inhabitants, Archet's wall suffers a breach, and unfortunately, no one finds out until it's too late. The player returns to town to find it under siege, and must then fight off wave after wave of bandits. When their boss is finally slain, not much remains is Archet, and from this point forward, every time the player visits the town, it'll be in a ruined state.
