Was just online, and chatting in GlobalLFF and there was mention - presumably now that the F2P beta is doing the rounds in the US at least - that Annuminas, helegrod and other older content will be built into a group scaling system - similar to how DDO and the skirmishes in lotro work.
If they pull it off right, then it sounds like it could be a Good Thing. (Yes Im not complaining about something).
