Turbine's Joe "jwbarry" Barry has written another developer blog looking at how the team is working on the entire Evendim zone in Lord of the Rings Online. In preparation for Update 2, the team wanted to be sure that the area was meaningful and "tightened up" for players in the level 30-40 range.
Our two primary goals with Evendim focus on tightening up the flow of the level 30-40 experience and ensuring that enough content was present to move players through those levels.
These goals involved:
. Create enough solo quest content to allow players the ability to level from 30 to 40 within Evendim
. Tighten the overall level range to improve the flow and the area's play experience
. Increase quest quantity and density
. Raise the quality of quests throughout Evendim to meet current standards
. Revamp quest rewards to allow for meaningful moments in gear advancement
. Provide quality instance content sooner and reduce the glut of instances that open at 50 (LOTRO's original level cap)
