I am sure you guys are aware of the update that came out today. And where I have dialup, I've been reading about what they are going to be updating, and it sounds pretty cool!
"During the First Age, a mighty city, known in the Black Speech as Nűrz Ghâshu or “The Rift,” once stood before falling into ruin. The Rift is a large underground dungeon that offers an extensive adventure for 12 players. Fight your way through mines and learn what secrets are held beneath the deep, dark caverns of this ancient city! "
