The Daily Grind: How are those expansions going?

So you've had a couple of weeks to run around in EverQuest II's The Shadow Odyssey, Lord of the Rings Online's Mines of Moria, and World of Warcraft's expansion Wrath of the Lich King. This morning we thought we'd check back in with you and see how those expansions were going for you? Are they all that you hoped for any more? Anything that isn't quite as good as you'd perhaps hoped it would be? In the case of the WoW and LotRO expansions, have you hit the new level cap already?

Would be glad if I could give feedback but even that I preordered Moria directly from Codemasters months ago, it still has not arrived yet. I guess they don't want me back as subscriber after all so I stick with WAR for now.

Something is seriously wrong with the distribution of expansions. I had the same delays with EQ2 last year so it was easier for me to stop playing it.

It seems if you want the box you get punished with delays. And if you chose the digital download you get punished with not getting shiny goodies (mount in EQ2 for example).

Maybe you live in a hard-to-reach area? Whenever i pre-order things i get them a few days before they release.

I bought moria, though my main is just level 29. Still having boatloads of fun.

I am taking mine slow. Its no secret that if you play LOTRO hardcore, you're going to blow through the content waaay too fast. So I'm playing both new classes so I can educate myself on them for when they're up there with my main. I'm taking a stab at the outdoor area pre-moria, and having fun in the 3 man instances they put there. I've explored some Moria to see the sights, but I'm gonna take it a section at a time when I start questing.

I want this expansion to last as long as possible, and that's how I take an expansion no matter what MMO I'm playing. I will not be racing to the end. Enjoy the journey, and that's the best piece of advice I can give for LOTRO. The books were about a journey through an amazing land... and so too is the game.

I'm really enjoying MoM for LotRO! I too am taking my time and enjoying the sights. I don't ever try to rush through any expansion content and I rather enjoy it more that way.

I also have TSO but have not gotten around to checking any of that content out yet. But I will and plan to do the same...enjoy the journey through the dungeons and realm!
