WoW or LoTR

neither, hold out and wait for conan or Tabula Rasa. THey should be coming out soon and probably should be better then both.

I like WoW. It's alot more fun when you go through the game with a friend. Playing solo sucks but sometimes that's your only option. It takes a little while for the game to get going. Don't judge the game on your first 10 levels. It get's alot of fun once you start doing instances and once you start to know your class. If all you do is grind, then yeah, you're making the game boring for yourself. Try to quest, do instances and group with players.

LOTRO is super boring. Ive played WoW for over two years and after the "newness" of LOTRO wore off (after a couple days) it was just an inferior WoW clone with the LOTR license.

At least WoW has a large community, awesome quests, two different factions with unique races, and enjoyable (if you dont do it 8 hours a day) endgame content.

If youre new to MMOs, go with WoW. If youre tired of WoW, give it a break for a month then renew your subscription.

Dont get me wrong, I went into LOTRO with an optimistic attitude and by all means it is a very good game. It will soon problably have a rather large community as well, but it just doesnt cut it for me. In order for me to abandon WoW, I am gonna need something better than WoW and nothing has come along (EVE came close though, that trial was fun!).

LotRO. WoW is really just and inferior AC2 clone with worse graphics and a community of maladjusted miscreants that makes a high security prison ward look like preschool. WoW also has an endless grind (farm this farm that; are we having fun yet?) and probably the world's worst written quests. Is there even a storyline in WoW? I never noticed one. I guess Blizzard forgot about the RPG part of the MMORPG equation. Simply said, WoW is quite possibly the most over-rated game of all time.

I quit WoW after the free month expired but I've been playing LotRO since early beta and I am still enjoying it. The best thing I can say about WoW is that it keeps most of the sociopaths in one place so that the rest of the MMORPG gene pool is relatively pollution free.

Ummm, yes it did. o_O

-wildflorwer-, you can't possibly see what WoW has to offer in just a month. I bet you didn't even give it a chance. Btw, ALL MMO's are a grind to some extent.The quests in WoW did make a little story. If you actually took the time to read them you wouldn't have made yourself look like an idiot and say there wasn't a story.

But there's nothing that really attaches all of those mini stories together. I played WoW for almost a year, and I can truly say that LOTROis better thanWoW when it comes to telling a tale. LOTRO excels at having all of the quests seem connected, and then on top of that give us 9 Epic books with many chapters, all with a very cinematic feel to them.

In other ways yes, WoW is the better game, but what matters to me personally is a story that keeps me engaged and gives a purpose to my actions. And there's noticeably less farming and grind, which is what turned me off from WoW in the end.

A month is more than enough time for me to decide whether or not I like something. I gave WoW a chance, I wanted to like it, but I didn't. Sue me. My character made it to level 36 or so and I found the game to be a terrible grind. Oh, and I did read the "quests" (thanks for assuming though) and I still think they were poorly written and added nothing to the overall story of the game. Let me guess, you probably think Oblivion has an epic story too?
