The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria Review

GamerNode has reviewed Lord of the Rings Online expansion Mines of Moria and loves it, calling it “[t]he best LotRO area yet” and giving it an 8.5/10.

Even though it’s beautiful to look at, Moria is no friendly place. Solo players will find it difficult, which is an odd change of pace for the largely solo-friendly LotRO. Every corner holds surprises; whether it’s falling off into a bottomless pit or being suddenly ambushed by a horde of enemies, players need to stay on their toes.

Like the original release, Mines of Moria focuses on the LotR story, but from a different perspective. Your foray into Moria occurs after the Fellowship has passed through, and largely deals with what happens AFTER Gandalf kills the Balrog. All of the major players decide to try and claim the caverns, so you and the other players (and NPCs) are thrust into the middle of that situation.
