This is a new expansion pack to the Lord of the Rings Online game series. Check out some new areas like the mines and others.The mines aren't the only new area; you'll spend some time (perhaps a little too much during the slow-starting introductory story quest) in Eregion, and later in Lothlorien. Yet even in light of Lothlorien's glowing green spaces, Khazad-Dum is the most incredible region to behold, far surpassing what you would expect from what amounts to a gigantic underground dungeon. The environmental design is absolutely meticulous, and the corridors and hidden alcoves are at once ominous and inviting. You don't know what monster, what goblin encampment, what magnificent statue may be waiting around the bend, and it's this sense of unsettled wonder that will keep you peering around corners. However, the bleak sights don't just unfold in front of you, but also above and beneath you. One misstep may mean a heartrending plunge into a dark abyss or an inadvertent descent into an undiscovered area. Glance above for a look at impressive formations (natural and dwarven alike) that make for vistas that are at once spacious and eerily claustrophobic. The effective soundtrack ranges from the dramatic to the melancholy, dutifully enhancing the atmosphere.
The environment is absolutely stunning and the graphics are great so while your playing take a look at the scenery(you probably won't). The game isn't too solo friendly but there are many solo quests you can do. A great way to spend your time in this game is to form a group and begin gathering materials to create legendary weapons.
The expansion also has two new classes, the rune keeper and the warden. Rune keepers are basically wizards and wardens also have spell abilities which make them a fun class to play.
This is a nice game that previous owners of LOTR online should get. It features some great new content that players could have some fun with.
