Yep, as impressive as The Mines of Moria is (the first expansion to the MMO Lord of the Rings Online) with it's expansive halls and new upgradeable weapons, to me it's all very dark and dinghy!
I know I must sound crazy and it's probably just that time of year that I hate - the winter. But I actually suffer SAD (Seasonal Affecting Disorder) in real life, otherwise know as 'the winter blues', which is caused by a lack of sunlight in the winter. So who's crazy idea was it to release Moria - primarily a dark underground area - at the beginning of winter!??

Now to be fair, the pretty (and sunny) green wastelands of Eregion that were released at the same time of Moria, are actually quite nice. You play through Eregion which takes a couple of levels before you enter into Moria. But once you are in Moria, there is no break from the evil darkness from levels 52-60, which I actually think was a mistake on the developers part. It would have been nice to have had another outside area mid-way, a sunshine holiday if you will, a break from the dark and dinghy grinding.
Now some hard-core players would have had Moria licked (or at least levelled to 60) within a couple of weeks, but I'm not one of those players. Playing at my own pace I got to level 54 in about five or six weeks before the darkness took hold. I took a few weeks off as I just couldn't face loading up the game for a while. I had another go a couple of days ago and persevered with it, but I can't honestly say I enjoyed myself.
There does not seem to be any news yet on the next area, but it won't come too soon as far as I am concerned.
