It's active, never have a hard time finding people to group with

They need to find a way to make the expansions accessible to starting players as well.

I got to Level 20 twice, and gave up twice. No way am I going to spend all that time just to get to the point where I can play the new content. There are just way, way, way too many great games on the market for me to be spending that much time on a somewhat generic MMO.

Ya, I agree with you also Charles, but in my opinion its worth it to start from the beginning to get to the new content. I began playing lord of the rings online again when they released Mines of Moria and had the same opinion, but once you get past the earlier levels and into the higher level content, its worth it. The game isn't as hardcore pvp style and such as WoW, but the story is the best ive seen in an MMO. I actually read all the quests, a lot of them are interesting and funny if your into lord of the rings at all. Theres also a lot of other things to do besides quests and grinding, like earning titles, doing deeds, the crafting is awesome, legendary weapons, etc.
