Mevans has stated that most factions will generally be portrayed as they were at their greatest strength within reason, so that they are as generally recognizable as possible. While Isengard wasn't yet at open war, Saruman had gone evil and begun breeding Uruks at this point, though not so many. Though I have heard a few people talk about wasted potential for Isengard being essentially a faction of spies at this point in time, this is incredibly unlikely to happen for one simple reason: that's not what people see Isengard as. Since nearly every player who wants to join Isengard will want the faction as it was during the War of the Ring, I find the chance that it will be made otherwise next to impossible until major quests are a thing and factions will be able to progress by year or whatever.
