General Discussion

I already play WoW and want to choose another game.

Let me lay down the situation. I already play WAR. I prefer the combat on WAR, but personally, whilst I like PVP, I also like immersion and storyline, rather than the disjointed PVE story WAR gives.

So answer the poll.

And below. Please if you want to reply just state why you advise I should play either one. Tell me what's good on either one, and don't insult the other one. Just try and say whats good about the one you advise me to play.

lotr has a free trail go try it out for 14 days

LOTRO and WAR are sort of polar opposites. One has a solid PVE game and lacklustre pvp (LoTRO) the other has a solid PVP game and lacklustre PVE (WAR).

So the question is do you like PVE more or PVP more. If you love both and want both to be of high quality you're stuck with WoW.

LOTRO does have a solid storyline and the world feels more involved and more immersive then WAR, but you're going to have to accept to take a huge step back in PVP fun to be had.

The PvP in LOTRO is not lackluster. Its different, and quite brilliant to be honest (Considering what they are working with).

But you are bascly right with your comments.

This is SORT of true.   I don't think Warhammers PvP is very good.   It was entertaining for a very short while.   Its definitly a big part of the game, but  it doesn't play that great.   its the same Capture the Flag/ Capture the base style of PvP you see in every game. 

the turbine trial is down for the new expansion and probably wont be up for a while because they want more sales.

Get lotro its great, do not get warhammer online

Me and my friends hit rank 40 and basically it comes down to grind scenarios for reknown levels and gears so me and my family basically cancelled after 60 days. LOTRO Have great features keeps you occupied even after you hit max level.

So yea all 14 war accounts canceled after 60 days of gameplay. War is dull at end game.

I'd vote LoTRO.  It's the cream of the crop for PvE based games.  One of my gripes is that I have a full quest log at ALL times LOL! I've never seen so many quests in a game as LoTRO but it's a good thing...I mainly solo and I love that I can level at a normal rate without having to do Fellow/group quests.

Plus, they are going to do yearly expansions every Fall. I love knowing there will be new territories and massive amounts of new quests every Autumn to look forward to:) Not to mention they give huge patches every 2-3 months with new stuff all year long in between the XPs.

And LoTRO plays SOOOOOOOO much better on my PC than War did. Honest to God- both games have the same minimum/recommended requirements and LoTRO plays a million times better. Their game engine is just so much better than Mythics.

Just my 2c:)

I voted LOTRO. Reasons....deep pve......crafting...housing....nice graphics....extensive world.....strong dev team....free trial...histroy of meaningfull expansions

Voted against WAR.Reasons.....modest repetative pve.....game bugs.....no crafting......no housing......poorly developed rvr.....no free trial.

Here is my take on Lotro and War:

LOTRO

The concept of pvp consisting of players being able to m
