In releasing Book 13 on its one-year anniversary, the Lord of the Rings Online finishes off its first year with five large content updates, known as Books. In addition to new epic storylines, the lore progressed significantly this past year as new Books were added. Let's take a look at all the changes made since April 24, 2007.The game began with eight questing zones and one player-versus-monster-player zone as well as seven classes and 10 crafting professions. It also launched many promises from the developers for much-demanded features such as player-owned houses and Fishing.
At this point it was very difficult to reach the level cap of 50 due to a lack of significant content in the level 30-50 range, which Turbine promised to address. And that promise materialized with the first free content patch.

I've only read through half of this so far, but great article.
I'm really enjoying LotRO. I'm impressed constantly by how much Turbine adds to this game every few months. Sure, it's not perfect and some people hate anything, but I've never felt like I was wasting my $10 a month. That's definitely a good thing.
