Old Legendary Items system

[Benedikt]

Besides it being less work, is there any other reason why legendary servers do not have the old legendary items system?
I would expect them to have it.

They are called Legendary, but that does not mean they are meant to be "old style" Lotro.
There was never an attempt to bring back what was.

Their original opening solved some things:
1. Reduced server load.
2. Gave those that went there an "uncluttered" experience...a new start in an unpopulated environment.
3. An opportunity to try some stuff without involving the entire system.

I particularly like playing on Treebeard. Slowed leveling and challenging content with a sort of "challenge scale" that you can choose, from no change to almost impossible and everything in between.

Good experiments, I think.
