I can't really comment as yet, too much lag to play decently. It looks fairly nice, but perhaps too much of a bottleneck entrance to the zone.

The new AA's don't really seem like all that much of an improvement, but I suppose after I get some, I might get to like them more.

So early days as yet.

The lag needs to be addressed, but I'm sure it will be in a patch in the near future (*fingers crossed*).

Nice mix of play styles. I dig.

I think loot distribution between the dungeons needs to be rethought (you generally only see groups for one or two of the dungeons regularly).

Moors could've been two zones. Poor logical flow between "areas".

I can't find any damn sea turtles. I found some turtles..and they were in the sea..but they didn't update the quest.

It's no Kunark, but still fun.

I've spent some time running around the Moors and the Swamp, even visited some instances (on my own, so not all that far as everything sees invis and FD'ing my way through it all is almost impossible, almost anyway) and so far I'm not all that impressed.

The new AA's are quite good, judging by description mostly, but most I will not have for quite some time to come. Grouping is the only answer to that. All the quests I've done so far have gotten me about 4 AA's, I don't really have all that many solo quests left so I doubt I'll get another 4 by just doing those.

The lag has improved, but isn't totally gone as yet, which makes fighting annoying but not impossible as it was last week.

The zones themselves are confusing to run around in and don't really feel large to me. Faydwer and Kunark definitely did, this new one compares more to the Ro expansion for me anyway.

All in all, more of a meh to me so far.

total meh. One new outdoor zone, the AAs are ok but nothing steller, so far from what I've seen there isnt too much difference in raid zones, and the zones they have are identical to the group instance zones. Void shard loot for non raiders is great, but I'm not finding anything major to buy with mine so they're piling up and there isnt that drive to get out there and get more.

I've really lost the drive to play lately. A part of it is being preggers I get motion sick real fast now so that is enahncing the mehness, but even if I was not getting sick, I just dont see that much offered to keep the fun going.

I hated Kingdom of Sky and that was always my least favorite expansion, but comparing the two I think I prefer KOS to TSO. Whens the next expansion due?

Is there a new expansion?

J/K - I have it but have not yet installed it or restarted my subscription.

I'm having so much fun exploring all the new content in LoTRO that I haven't had time to check out EQ2 yet.

Maybe at some point before New Years...

I've got major Lag on my server.
Avoiding this area for now.

I've enjoyed it.. it has motivated me to get my alts up to level 50 in there tradeskills which I've been lazy about. Now, I'm spending more time leveling their tradeskills so they can use the cannons and do the tradeskill quests which give them an opportunity to get the disco experience.
