I was actually going to suggest this myself, seeing as how I live in the Anduin region on The Official Server and it is unpopulated. I can't help but be dissapointed in that comment. Here is a direct quote from The Lord of The Rings.

"Grimbeorn the Old, son of Beorn, was now the lord of many sturdy men, and to their land between the Mountains and Mirkwood neither orc nor wolf dared to go."

So, yes, it is in the book. If the server adds an obscure faction like the Moredain, it seems Valesmen deserve a chance. And I can't imagine the wording of "many sturdy men" to be translated to "very rare". Yes, except there is a huge amount of space that it is taken up. And, no, it is not in the book. When did they encounter Grimbeorn? They don't directly encounter Grimbeorn, and I never claimed they did, all I said was that it is mentioned in the book. I even gave you the direct quote, I repeat:

"Grimbeorn the Old, son of Beorn, was now the lord of many sturdy men, and to their land between the Mountains and Mirkwood neither orc nor wolf dared to go."
