I’ll probably just do the initial tutorial so I can unlock skirmishes and done need to be hanging around one of the skirmish camps. Then it is off to Mirkwood to start working on reputation, so I can get my Hunter travel skill.

Buy a mount since I haven’t reached 35 yet

I think I’ll be trying skirmishes purely because Mirkwood is going to be a lag party.

I just hit level 60 last week, and deliberately saved the remaining content (Foundation of Stone and most of Lothlorien) for after the level cap goes up next week. Mirkwood is going to be swamped, as are the skirmish instance servers, but at least I’ll have something I can be working on (unless the whole server goes down).

Congrats on 60! That’s a pretty good plan. We will still be in moria while everyone’s in mirkwood so hopefully we will be fairly lag free

I think I’ll go into the skirmishes first. My main (a captain) will enter Mirkwood as well very soon after release, however I will try to hold back a bit, because Mirkwood will probabaly be crowded.
I could also opt for playing my alt (a loremaster) which reached the level cap yesterday! And as Green Armadillo said, my character as well still has lots to do in Moria and didn’t even touch the Lothlorien content. I want my alt to clear the books as well (now on the final chapter of V1B14, and on V2 I’m at the start of B3 or so).

The prerequisite quest for the skirmish tutorial involves killing many monsters your own level for 5 some-what rare drops, so…
I’ll be picking up that quest, then heading to mirkwood, then heading back when I finish collecting those items.

I’ll be buying one of the low level horses, then questing through Book 2 and the new Lone Lands. I’ve been exploring, crafting and slowly questing through North Downs for the last week so that I don’t outlevel it
