ive played a few of those, and ill list what i liked:
eve: i feel like it would require to much to delve into what seems like a great game. i respect its depth, its gameplay, etc, but its just not the experience that i look for. mainly because the ground type missions are lacking. i guess i have an automatic bias to any space based games after playing star wars galaxies (pre-combat update...) because that was awesome. overall i cant recommend it unless you want to sink your teeth into a sci-fi game.
LOTRO: i had tons of fun with this one. it felt like wow, but with a much better atmosphere. i enjoyed exploring, finding new locations, etc... the quests were tons of fun (well except some like go kill 5 wolves, but hey the main quest rocked). il tell you what really sold me on this one though. the developers really seem like they are committed to keeping the game polished, balanced, updated, and full of new content. the chapter system adds new areas monthly, including whole parts of the map. the game is fairly populated. it runs great on most systems out. if you are a lord of the rings fan, its absolutely a must play.
age of conan: the game on this list with the most potential. i had a lot of fun with the combat. "real-time" combat is not what it would seem like, but it absolutely adds alot to the combat part of the gameplay and fills it with depth. i enjoyed the main story line, especially the first 20 levels. the developers are adding content, but i feel this game was rushed a bit. it runs ok on my system, but it could run great (or awful) on yours. ive gotten stuck in the world 4 times wehre i had to request a ticket. very buggy. the pvp system is improving, but not perfect. id suggest trying this one out with a demo, and perhaps buying it around christmas timte when the game should be complete.
i have never played tabula rasa.
good luck in your MMOing, i hope this helped.
