Fanghorn Forest in The Lord of the Rings Online: Rise of Isengard
I am just curious why I have not been included in the expansion of Isengard. Seem to go hand in hand with the tradition of Sarumon, and assuming that the game continues to advance the storyline; you probably would not make much sense to release this area after the fact. Turbine has mentioned anything about this?

I would say it would be an expansion in the middle between this and Rohan. Or even could be part of the expansion of Rohan, but that would bloom great. But Fangorn and Rohan move against his enemies at the same time. Personally I have always been waiting for the Gladden Fields, which are just a short drive north of Lothlorien who became PvMP sand as it would be epic.

I guess you're right. I do not want to see neglecting a vital part of the tradition. I prefer to spend the next 10 years making the journey to Mordor worthwhile. I have no hurry

Dunland and the Gap of Rohan. In the book, there was more than a brief visit - for the title company of Minas Tirith to Rivendell again after the ring was gone. And yet, there are many references to them in the text and annexes, which the turbine can be built and deepen in regions previously not seen in any adaptation LOTRO. That's why I'm much more excited Dunland and Gap of Rohan that Nan.

In the Timeline, Merry and Pippin have been kidnapped yet, much less go out in Fangorn. We cannot go there first, and Fangorn is irrelevant to the plot to prepare for the Ents march on Isengard.

Isengard is the beginning of The Two Towers. Before the start of The Two Towers, actually. The First Battle of the Fords of Isen has not happened, which means that there is no February 25. The Community has not broken yet, do not break until 26. Still on the road (very, very slowly) by the Anduin. That means Merry and Pippin was not captured until 26, and no escape and enter Fangorn to 29. The Entmoot does not start until 30 (February has 30 days of Arda), and runs through March 2. The parents are up to 02 March and Isengard not destroyed until March 3. Helm's Deep, of course, happens at night in the third and fourth. Oh, and Aragorn and his team fails to Edoras to 02 March, at least a week after the expansion of return on investment is established.

Fangorn and Rohan both are heavily involved in the story, while almost no mention of areas such as Enedwaith, Dunland, and the Gap of Rohan. We know all about Isengard well. Not that I'm not looking forward to aforementioned regions, but I'm excited to finally be able to explore more of Dunland, and some of the other regions that make little mention of Middle-earth.
