is it that in game, today i'm in trollshaws, and it's asking me to unlock the zone? Shouldn't it be unlocked already since I BOUGHT THE EXPANSION IN A STORE???? I feel really perplexed by this.

should I re-enter my product key? but if i do i mean.. would that even work? since most product keys only let you use them once.

i mean.. i know a lot of stuff in teh game is free now.. but still.. that shouldnt negate the fact that i purchased with real life money.. the full game with mines of moria expansion. in a retail outlet.. came home. entered the key online.. so even if i don't get all the VIP perks since i don't have a subscription.. i should STILL get access to the questing content that is part of that expansion.. because i paid for it.. i have bought it already when i bought the expansion.

to say that i need to repurchase a zones quest content is silly.. that's like prepurchasing rise to isengard right now when i'm nowhere near hte level for its content. then in a few months when i am; i get there and i'm told i need to purchase their zone's quest content.. when I've already bought it.. because if thats the case.. why should i purchase ANY of the new expansions in the store???? if i'm made to purchase it all over again in game???
