Far Anorian did come with the new layering mechanics when released. It made it very frustrating on a busy server as we'd pop in and out of different layers and mobs along with it. It was a bit of a cul-de-sac too, until linked up with Rohan. Navigation in the mountains and getting hooked up on tree roots didn't lend it to so great an area. Not conducive to War-steed riding when it was the prerequisite for their defining Charge on to the Fields of Pelennor. Maybe not so much of issue coming at a slower pace later on. It did provide good views though and more space to roam after the mountains.
