Where are we currently? The game is always evolving (and the team never sits still), so here are a few things we're working on now for the first half of 2013.

Rohan Instance Cluster (Part 2) [Spoiler!] The highlight of this cluster is the raid spaces, which together tell the story of the Battle of Dale from the sacking of Dale through to the heroic last stand at the Siege of Erebor. (The Bells of Dale) is a 6-person space set in Dale during its final hours. (Flight to the Lonely Mountain,) (The Fires of Smaug) and (The Battle for Erebor) are 12-person raids that set you against armies of Easterlings and their massive war machines.

Class Skills In years gone by the LOTRO team has conducted class (Month Of) events to make changes and improvements to the classes. Heading into 2013, we are looking into player feedback in regards to skills (ones that are great and ones that really aren't) and overall progression. Advancing through current and future levels should have a real payoff, and the class should feel different as you progress and grow your abilities.

And what else. More Scaled Instances ((In Your Absence) welcome back to Ost Dunhoth). More landscape quests and Epic Story. Rebalanced loot drops for skirmishes and scaling instances.
