In Update 9 beta, we saw a new region South of Great River and West of the Wold. That was a very cool snowy zone with lot of trees and a long road. I think Northern Fangorn and this "little" zone coming with u11. A broken bridge added to Great River zone (npces working here on bridge).

I hope I'm reading to much into what I've seen but if Turbine intends to continue with a cycle that includes an expansion every year and if this is the zone were getting later in the year it seems to me like the Westemnet is going to be part of an expansion rather then an update. again, I hope I'm reading too much into the tidbits I've seen.

They have already talked about westenment as an expansion. See the end of the interview here: http://mmoreporter.com/2012/12/15/lo...ate-9-preview/

I can't seem to find the transcripted portion at the moment. Maybe someone else will chime in with that link.

well, I'm going to remain hopeful, but I will not be spending money on a Westemnet expac, I paid for Riders of Rohan, not Riders of Eastern Rohan.
