Lord of the Rings Online The Siege of Mirkwood

I just pre-ordered the Siege of Mirkwood expansion pack. I already talked about the Harbinger's cloak. I am looking forward to the announced changes. There are no signs of the hoped for mounted combat. It would only make sense to include that as Rohan cannot be too far behind.

Southern Mirkwood was the haunt of the Necromancer a thinly veiled Sauron. It should have been obvious to the Wise it was really Sauron all the time. However, looking at what happened to Saruman and Denethor, it is probably forgivable that they didn't spot Sauron right off. Over the Ages it was probably entirely possible that others fell under the long distance sway of Morgoth and the tales were simply never told.

I am looking forward to the additional character slots. I would like to see some changes to the crafting system. More to follow...
