Ive been reading up on LOTRO lately (I have a habit of looking into MMO's a lot since I still havent figured out whats so good about them but thats a seperate issue) and one of the things that intruiges me is the Monster Play option. It sounded really intruiging but I tried to read up about it and it seems to exist in one area seperate from the "normal" area but it dosent seem to say anywhere whether it expanded along with the free DLC and the expansion pack. 

Is the Monster Play still active? At this point is it only in the original area of the game?

Im not sure if any Giant Bomb fans even play LOTRO but heres hoping, thanks for any help you can give.

"As for being the 'only original area of the game' that's not true at all. In order to get the the new stuff which starts around level 40, you have to go through all of the old stuff.  "

Thanks for the information since it aleviates my main worry about the game. Though when I said "Though is it only in the original Area of the game" I wasent meaning did they delete all the shadows of angmar content, I meant did they add any new Monster Play stuff/places to the Monster Play for Mines of Moria or do you have to "leave" the MoM content to go back the the "original" stuff which might make the Monster Play feel like a second option rather than an integral part of the game.

Though if its still active as you say then its not such an important issue, thanks for helping me :)

Late to the party, but you only have to be level 10 to do MP as far as I can tell.  I have MoM, so I don't know if that matters, but the MP button became available once I hit that level.  Some people even do MP as part of their free trial.
