Don't know if you guys heard about the Siege of Mirkwood Expansion and the pricing system (or if you're likely to care or not). Here's the link: http://www.lotro.com/news/pressreleases/488-siege-of-mirkwood-launch-offers

By the way, we've moved all our active characters to Landroval, and founded a new Kin, House of Rooke.

Some early impressions. But first some general comments:

I've gotten my fiancee to finally try this game, and I think she's hooked (which is an awesome thing). There are some system changes, but they are pretty invisible in terms of gameplay. They are more about the math of the system, so you really only see them when you are choosing equipment or traits and such. I started a new character to play alonside my new convers. I've been playing a Rune-keeper and I rather like it after a couple of evenings. The attunement system (combat or healing) is really pretty easy to understand. There are two spells you can always cast, one healing and one damaging. Casting a spell of either the healing or damaging type shifts your attunement in either a direction (the number of steps it shifts are based on what skill/spell you used).
