2/10 WOULD NOT INGEST

http://www.lotro.com/gameinfo/devdiaries/754-developer-diary-instances-20-part-1-Even when a space ends up successful with solid gameplay and fun, like Orion’s recent rebuild of Garth Agarwen, it suffers because it is set at a single level and only accessible to a small portion of the playerbase. This creates a lose/lose situation. We have great content that the majority of players aren’t in a level band for, and the players who want to play it are left with something not in their level range and an unrewarding experience as a result.
This is a huge reason I am against a level-based game. Too bad we are stuck with it. Full text:

I like it. I now perhaps get to do stuff I haven't seen before, due to time.
I still say Turbine makes the BEST dungeons.

This (scalable dungeons like COH or skirmishes) actually sounds pretty neat. Balancing can be a rather big issue though (see duo skirmishes), I hope they're testing with lowbies in quest gear as well as twinks and level 60+s with uber LIs.

the opportunity for evil is just delicious

observations:
1) how will they handle itemization? Several instances bestow unique rewards. I wonder if they will be scaled and/or if Turbine will implement heirloom'ing like in WoW. 2) nothing about LFG. Presumably that's coming. 3) nothing about Radiance/Hope gating. Presumably that's also coming.

On #1, I might guess marks+barter. For #2, I assume no change there. #3

Well, I expected at least one new token type. Pleased to find otherwise.

Still wish they would make them a currency though.

You mean so that they don't take inventory slots, right?
