Would Lotro have more new players if you could start in places like a Dwarf in Moria, Elf in Lothlorien, Man in Rohan or Gondor? Now I know by this time it's impossible to implement people starting in these places since the game is old, and places like Minas Tiirth are high lvl areas and newly developed. Though back when Lotro was new none of these places were in Lotro, exvept Rivendell.

Also I think that new players would rather see the former places rather than the latter (Shire, Breeland, etc) And the revamp of Bree looks more modern than the old Bree. Though I think new players are put off by the old graphic style in the starter regions and quit before they even reach more impressive art design and graphics of Moria. Thats the thing. Even when I was a noob, I wasn't interested in seeing Breeland, I was dead set on seeing Minas Tirith, Moria, Mordor etc.

So overall. Is Lotro even getting new players everyday? And do these players even make it to Rhovanion and beyond?
