Well I suppose its time I gave a review of Mines of Moria but so far I'm still outside the dungeonosity and cavernousness.
First of all I want to say that I don't like to burn through content. I savor it. Slowly and delicately, I try to appreciate all the work that went into it. So far I am really liking the changes made throughout the game, not just in the new areas. I'm enjoying the Hollin and Eregion area a lot. Most of it is soloable or duoable. In fact, taking more is overkill, though always fun. It is a pretty laid back region for that matter, hardly any elites. Doing the Volume 2 Book 1 has been pretty fun. Its probably the best made book yet that I've tried. and the expedition quests and the way the area changes as you accomplish things, that's something good too. Really I like the little lizards who hiss and flare their neck thingy like the Australian ones, it gives you a sense of being in a new place. And the change in flora is also nice, and the music has improved which is always a plus. As far as the new classes are concerned I have only tried the Warden in beta. I'll leave the Rune Keeper to someone else since I already have Rumples, my minstrel. The lower game has filled up with Wardens but RuneKeepers are still quite rare that I've seen.
We'll have to see. Maybe Anton will co-roll a warden and his wife a rune-keeper eh? We'll see if he can get his spare laptop fixed.
Oh lastly, I have been inside the mines through a cute little instance where you play Nafti or something like that and you talk to the Dwarf king, Durin and then you do some other other stuff and escort the king to show off his mithril deposits and get a big friendly surprise... The key is to sit there and watch, not to run to his aid. I did that the first time. Big mistake. I guess Turbine never read A man for All Seasons, which states that in British law "Silence (or inaction) implies acceptance. (and complicity)" :P

You and I both Thalian are taking our time to savour the new content. I actually completed book 1 and got into Moria but most of the quests were still yellow or orange so I popped back out to finish off stuff in Eregion. Glad I did actually because I got a go at one of the cool new 3 man instances around Mirobel. 3 man instances are a great idea - its easy to get a group together and everyone has a role to play.
Kewl, ummm where is it by the way? And are they capped at 3 or can you bring more if you want?
I'm "Taking my time" in Wrath of the Lich King, aka I don't have enough time to play and I level a billion times slower than the rest of the guild... :)
Oh, and I ordered some more ram for my laptop today, hopefully I got the right kind this time...hopefully this means my wife can play LOTRO with us, but I still need to persuade her that playing MMO's is a fun thing to do...
I have come across two three man's in Mirobel (South East Eregion). They are called the "library" and the "School". You regularly see folks LFFing them. You can just go in and do the instances but you can do a few pre-quests around Mirobel too. Every quest you get from Mirobel seems to lead into one of these.
I am pretty sure they are capped at three but I haven't tested it.
