releasing MoM so close to WotLK was a great move, its aimed at the core fans of LotRO people who are not floating between MMO's. it was a blod move by turbine that bassicly made clear that they have a plan for the game and dont care what the others are doing.

as for the game, i think its going to be a great success with a high pickup rate.

lets face it, so far, theres been no 'down side' to MoM found. great stable release, dont get me wrong Blizzard are doing great things too though.
