Can story instances be done in a group in LOTRO?

Sure you can. Working in a group for story instances allows for a combination of different ideas and perspectives, which can make the story more complex and engaging. However, it also requires good communication and coordination among the group members to avoid confusion or conflicts.

Sure. The main story is designed in such a way that it rewards players with enough experience to level up. It's a great option for those who want a more linear leveling experience. But keep in mind that it may take longer than if you were to combine it with other leveling strategies. Also, sometimes you might need to be a certain level to start a new part of the main story, so there could be some natural breaks where you might consider doing other things to gain a few levels.

Immerse yourself fully in the game world. Talk to every non - player character (NPC) you come across. Many of them have side stories or additional information that enriches the overall story experience. Also, take your time exploring the different regions as the environment and lore within each area contribute to the story. For example, in the Shire, you can learn about the Hobbits' way of life which is an important part of the larger story.

Not really. While it is possible to level with just the main story in Lotro, it can be a slow process. Side quests often provide more experience per time spent. Also, doing only the main story might limit your exploration of the game world and the acquisition of useful items and skills from other sources.

Explore the world without rushing. Wander around and discover hidden areas. Sometimes, you'll find small quests or bits of lore that are not part of the main path but still contribute to the overall story experience. And don't be afraid to ask other players for their insights on the story. They might have noticed things or have different interpretations that can enhance your own understanding.

Well, one instance could be when the character expects one thing to happen but the opposite occurs. Like if they think they'll succeed but end up failing spectacularly.

There might be true stories related to the economic impact of anthracite. In some areas, anthracite was the main source of fuel. Towns grew up around the anthracite industry. Stories could include how the price fluctuations of anthracite affected local economies, whether it led to boom times or hard times when the market crashed.

There's also the story from a small village in Italy. A local man started showing signs like aversion to religious symbols, superhuman strength, and speaking in languages he didn't know. The villagers believed it was demonic possession. The local priest performed exorcisms. This story has been passed down through generations in the village, though it lacks some of the more formal documentation like the previous cases.

You can turn it into a movie or a TV series to reach a wider audience.

One instance was the coverage of a certain political event where they misrepresented facts to fit a particular narrative. However, it's important to note that while such incidents occur, CNN also does a lot of legitimate reporting.
