LOTRO Update 7 Details

For those of you wondering what will or will not be in Update 7 we now have a few details from the following article:

It is named Shades of the Past
We’re getting a new skirmish – Storm of Methedras

up on the southern slopes of the Misty Mountains
Free for VIPs – assuming same TP cost as other skirmishes
1-12 players
Levels 70-75

Fornost Revamp

4 separate instances
2 difficulty levels
levels 30-75

The following Moria regions are revamped

Great Delving
Silvertine Lodes
Water Works
Durin’s Way

Some very interesting stuff, I’m quite happy about the new skirmish and the way they’re handling Fornost. I was surprised to see a Moria revamp though.

What do you guys think? Is this enough for this update or do you expect more?

Looks like this is the update that’s meant to keep us busy at end game until RoR. Lets hope the revamped Fornost and new skirmish is good!

  yeah, but that really isn’t too much content – although considering much of Orthanc hasn’t been cleared there’s still lots to do

    I’m betting the remaining ToO challenges will be cleared pretty soon after Update 7. People know what they need to do, they’re just being held back by some very over-tuned adds in F&F and an excessive level of randomness in Saruman – both of which are being fixed with the patch.

New skirm! Woots! I’m also hugely interested to see the new revamps to these regions in Moria, as my cappy is still in the area and I would love to go see what’s new. Fornost is also peaking my interest, having never run it previously. Looking at how it is now scaling to level 75, I can’t wait to take my 75ers out there for session.

  I’m curious to see what the new rewards look like – worried though that since there are no campaign marks anymore that the new skirmish might not bring new goodies But I agree, I can’t wait for Fornost, been such a long time since I was in there.

    There will likely be new unique loot in the raid chest for this skirmish. That’s my guess.

Most skirmishes are giving out Reputation at the end. I assume that a Southern Misty Mts skirm will award Rivendell rep. Good if you haven’t finished off that area and are tired of the Ford skirm. They could throw out a new skirm with every update and I would be happy, but I am sure that there are some other end-game kins looking for more raids and 6 mans. Fornost I am sure will have a challenge mode however for level 75. Maybe some new jewlery will drop there. good stuff imo

  Just realized that the new Skirmish takes place in the NE part of Dunland (my bad) so really you will get Dunland rep for finishing this skirm.

    That’s kinda nice – although that faction grind really didn’t seem to be that bad with all the quests out there.
