Inorder to give turbine an incentive to do what theyve been promising for as long as I can remember to provide new PVP maps for us.
How much would you pay for these maps? if turbine could be persuaded to release them..
I love PVP so much as a creep that pvp content is more valuable than expansions like isengard or riders of rohan..both of which I will not buy..ever until you fix ettens..
Discuss?

No extra because it should be included with the update , they added pvp to the game from the start so its should be updated just like everything else in the game .
I've bought MoM, SoM and RoI all with the promise of PvP maps. Before I start dishing out cash for more maps I want the 3 that I am owed.
I do not recall there being anything said about a PvP map with Siege of Mirkwood. MoM and RoI both mentioned the same map. At best you are owed one.
I would not pay anything for a PvP map. PvP in Lotro sucks. It always has. I want PvP. I play a game that has a better system. I never really fond of the MMORPG PvP systems. I personally prefer the FPS games especially the ones where you can configure the load out both players are using. Something more a flight simulator game where it is skill not gear based. Skill not numbers based.
Unless stated otherwise, all content in this post is My Personal Opinion.

Just like he says!
I would pay half a million Destiny Points, several Thousand Tokens of Valour and a sack full of Lumi Stones... They can have all my barrels of oil!
In fact though in the spirit of encouraging the Mamon worshiping storewhores of Turbine/Warner Brothers I can honestly say I will gief 10% of my annual income for the 3 PvP maps they owe me...
I will sell them my house and split the proceeds 50 50 with them, and sacrifice my firstborn to Sauron in return for a new PvP map... and Im a Freep!
But they have to nerf all tacticals who steal too many of my KBs these days...
GIEFF NEW PVP MAP NAO!

Well, not really. They added it in the last six months (out of how many years?) of development. I assume the venture-capitalists who owned Turbine at the time thought it would bring in extra players, make more money. Didn't work, did it?

Its brought in players and money. Of course not as much as it could because its been so underdeveloped for so long. Of course thats what ppl like you want isnt it?

Nothing! loTRO is a PvE based game and the PvP map we have is a after thought. If I want PvP I play a game that is PvP based. Turbine shpuld not spend any development time on PvP.

I love this argument. If there was no pvmp at all in this game you find find that all the servers would see a noticable difference in population.
I reckon it probably varies a lot from server to server, but on Silverlode at least, there are a small number of dedicated PvMP'ers who don't appear to do a lot of raiding content, but otherwise a large number (perhaps a majority) of 75's who actively do level 75 content also do PvMP at least somewhat regularly. I'm only rank 4, but I'm not sure I'd stick around if PvMP got the axe completely as I do enjoy it sometimes and hope to do it more, especially if something like battlegrounds were introduced.
Population figures aside, I'm sure a hell of a lot of those with 75 characters only maintain VIP for PvMP.
In regards to the OP: I'd buy a $30 expansion that included marginal PvE content (maybe a new instance and book and no new area) that was otherwise PvMP focused (Moors alternative/revamp/whatever, battlegrounds, etc.).
We have paid all along for a full game. We have been promised a new PvMP zone many times, and seen nothing past new hats, cosmetic backpacks and and ever expanding Lotro store while being told they do not have the time to work on a new map. I am sure great care must be put into more and more tripe to cram into the game.
Lotro is a stunning game, with great potential for all sorts of players. But for some reason those of us who enjoy PVP are seen as lesser players by others, and Turbine alike,
Do not give us a new map. War is coming, the Riders of Rohan will be on the move. Let us out of the moors and give the free people of middle earth something to really fight. You want epic battles in Rohan? Fight the creeps.

I would not pay anything for new pvp maps. In fact I would pay to see pvp removed from the game. If I want to pvp I will do it in a game where skill matters more and grinding superior gear is not a factor in the equation at all.
I might pay to remove you from the game, but I'm not a dick.

Like we haven't heard that before.

Level a toon to 75 on Branywine, PvMP gets removed, Brandywine dies, I'm not joking. We've had dozens of transfers recently just for PvMP.
They should fix Creeps before making a new map. PvMP is a joke at the moment. Freeps herp the derp and Creeps go boom.
Morvathir 65 Guardian (Rank 7), Morcallor 65 Craptain (Rank 0.5), other toons unworthy of mention. Slavetothebum R4 Reaver, Bummagic R2, other toons unworthy of mention cause they have not done the rite of initiation.
