Stealing the name of the other thread, I was wondering what historical regions could Lotro add. We have seen two areas that take place in the past instead of the game present. So what are ideas of regions that could be added, of course taking into account that Lotro only has access to the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit books (so no Beleriant, I guess).

The ideas I had were:
Dale and Erebor at the time of the Hobbit. It would cool to meet Thorin, Bilbo and co. We would be able to actualy meet people like Bard, Beorn, Fili and Kili, actualy see (and maybe fight somehow?) Smaug. See original Lake Town before it was destroyed. Meet Bilbo in his prime.
The Shire at the time the goblins attack. It could be an interesting time to visit pre-scourging of the Shire expansion, like we visited Azanulbizar just before Gundabad. Help the Hobbits fight the Goblins, See Bullroarer Took invent Golf.
The Last days of Eregion. See the forging of the rings. Help the elves fight the forces of Sauron. Maybe meet Narmaleth and Laerdan again. Help Celebrimbor. That said, with the new Skirmish, this might not be that likely.

So what do you think?
