Another Developer’s Diary has appeared on the official Lord of the Rings Online website. This one deals with how they plan on improving instances throughout the game so that more players will have access to them. Here is a snippet of what Joe “jwbarry” had to say:

This was one of the challenges we set out to tackle with the Skirmish system.

Now, we’ve looked at the Skirmish technology and started tinkering with applying it in other places to spread those benefits.
