[...] a factor of how you are playing the game, not the leveling pace the game offers. You can run around the grouping wall and zip to the next stack of quests. You may not have solved all the problems in that town, but [...]

Spam the entire server with copy paste tells. This works very well in speeding up the whole process for me.

I’m in a luckier situation where me, wife, my brother and sister played MMOs together.

In wow, this translated to mage/priest/warrior/druid (trinity+hybrid), and we can pick up any extra class to make a group of 5 for any instance.

In LOTRO, we switched the classes we played but essentially it was the same thing again minstrel/hunter/captain/guardian (trinity+hybrid). Where we’d pick up 2 extras to make 6. A few times we managed group quests that is recommended for 6 with only 4 people.

I don’t have very good ideas for people who don’t come with their family+relatives, some might suggest that getting into a guild/kinship is the key, but then in a guild, members are keen to help themselves first and there’s always times when one or two guys gets left out because the other 6 finished a quest over the weekend and have moved on.

In fact in both WOW and LOTRO our guildies regular request to join us on our trips to various group quests – some even jokingly clamour for this “favourite 5th (or 6th) guy” position.

We also tend to join guilds that already have such a group going on (usually among the key officers), and we essentially form a very strong core of a second group. The two groups then easily combines into a 10/12-men situation.

I would wait a few levels before venturing into Agamaur and especially Garth Agarwen, even with a fellowship. There you have a combination of all the types of dungeons in LOTRO, old forest, barrows, ruins and marshes into one, plus a series of intertwined quests of bewildering complexity related to the Red Maid requiring to kill multiple elite bosses to get several keys, etc. It is virtually impossible to complete all the quests in there without a well coordinated fellowship of relatively high level characters.

Your experience mirrors my own when I played it.

And I was guilded, but still.
