Gamespy has offered a rather glowing review of LotRO's new expansion. I think the following paragraph sums up much of it for me!
LotRO has spent the last year and a half becoming one of the best (if not the biggest) MMOs on the market by focusing relentlessly on what it's good at: PvE content, small-group, casual and solo-friendly questing that makes content created for masses of players feel intimate and personal. The culmination of this process is the release of Mines of Moria, an absolutely brilliant expansion pack that takes everything the development team has learned and crafts it into a sublime MMO experience.
Sublime. Dead-on. Read the whole review HERE.
