Oooooooh really post no.2 (Sorry for lack of quote)? Let me put some ideas up here. Not perhaps in terms of gameplay, but the story behind them. Both are based on books in fantasy settings. One is Low Fantasy (Conan) One is High Fantasy (Lord of the Rings) So they the foremost books at their respective polar opposites of the Fantasy Genre. This translates into the general feel of the games. AOC has fairly open PVP where people can be evil if they choose. LOTRO has this feel where no player can be evil. No open PVP, unless you're playing as a specificalluy evil race. Both have good storylines and good questlines. So my question is, which do people prefer/ hate less? And no. They are far more similar than WoW and pokemon. Hyperbolic language isn't answering my question.
Lord of the RIngs is low fantasy. AoC is like old world fantasy. WoW is high fantasy (motocycles, spaceships lol)
Compared to LOTRO, AoC has no storyline. I am enjoying LOTRO because it is an open book to me right now. It is what other MMO's arent. becaue it has a central narrative storyline.
Here are some common opinions:
AoC does PvP very well
LOTRO does PvE very well
Do you like backing a company that listens to its playerbase and has a great reputation? Play LOTRO. Funcom may still close up shop next year. Check out their stocks.
High Fantasy is a subgenre in which there is a clear definition between good and evil. 'evi' races commit crimes whilst 'Good' races are moral.
Low Fantasy is when there is no clear definition between good and evil, and all characters commit questionable actions to reach their goals.
Spaceships and motorbikes in WoW are just the retarded children of too many people watching Lord of The Rings as well as Star Trek. Too retarded to make a whole subgenre.
I will kill myself if Funcom closes. I'll tell you why now. I don't care about AoC. I care about 'The Longest Journey' series. If they don't finish it off, my entire childhood/adulthood is ruined. I can't be left on a cliffhanger.
