Hte advice I would give you is to research the characters then pick one and play taht one.......I played all 7 classes and by the time you get to the 6th and 7th one you will be bored to tears with questing........ Also the raiding in LoTRO is nowhere near the intensity that it was in EQ and the gameplay is very casual like WoW was not intense like EQ....... Also most of the players dont play their class all that well because there is no death penalty so they dont need to learn........ I found LoTRO to be fun for about a month but it is very simplistic and basically just running back and forth between NPCs doing quests......If thats your cup of tea then you should enjoy it.......If you like to fight monsters and do camps then it isnt going to be very enjoyable......At level 37 I literally killed mobs for 2 hours while talking to a friend on the phone and got less than 10 percent of a level.....After that I did a quest where all I had to do was talk to another NPC and got 15 percent...To me that is utter BS that they punish players for fighting and reward them for crap quests.
If you like grind-leveling I'm sure there's much better games for this...
LOTRO is about questing and stories. Also communities are quite strong here.
Monsterplay is quite fun and usually quite organised considering it's really a PuG.
I played the usual MMO to endgame myself quite a lot and I don't really consider following step by step tactics to kill some boss that we have a list of possible loot THAT INTENSE.
Not to mention I had to spend time before and after raid to farm gold to I can repair my gear that cost ridiculous amount of money to repair imho.
I think EQ2 is probably the king regarding questing and content but I find LOTRO easier and more fun to play (sometimes EQ2 gets tiresome and it feels kind of old as a game too).
I hope you have fun duo'ing in LOTRO let us know how it goes since I'm planning to start over in LOTRO since my gf is interested in starting and will be pretty much in the same situation as you
