Warhammer or EVE or ???

Hey all this is my first posting here and I need some opinions on people who played both.  I gues it all depends what mood I'm in right?  I am trialing both these now.  First off a little history on me and gaming.  My first MMO was WOW over a year ago and I liked it.  Made it to level 36 with an Orc Rogue.  I like single player and group questing is pretty cool havent done a lot of PvP yet.  Anyway I quit WOW cuz I got my first xbox360 a year ago and purchased a year of xbla gold.  I find myself being drawn back to an MMO mainly because AION came out it i looked awesome.  Sure enough it was awesome but my computer is a bit outdated.  I added more RAM and upgraded my Graphics card to EVGA 6200 512mb.  I know its not a great card but my motherboard only supports AGP slot.  Well I only made it to level 10 the it lagged real bad when I earned my wings.  I quit before I got charged my fist month.  I will be rebuilding from scratch a new system but in meantime I tried WAR and I have to say I like it way better than WOW. Its all the little things I like about it.  Better looking maps,quests are cool, classes look and feel better.  Then I tried EVE and its totally different. Yes it is a little complicated at first.  Too many windows not enough action but I feel myself drawn too it.  I really dont watch Star Trek or Stargate but I dod like SCI-FI stuff.  I played the trial for one day and deleted from my hard drive.  Then I regretted doing that and redownloaded.  Mainly because I only have a 40GB hard drive.  The reviews sound great and I do not have a lot of gaming time for I work like 50 hours a week and have a wife and kids.  So iI kinda like the real time skill leveling but I do like to gring a little bit.  Just want some more opinions and input cuz I'm only paying 15 bucks a month on one game.

Don't mean this in an offensive way but it seems like EVE might be too complicated for you, i have many real life friends who love playing console's and logging into wow ocassionaly but they even complaint that the whole questing, raids and stuff is complicated guess there not used to it but ye those kind of people usually just wanna have some fun real quick and enjoy there time whereas in EVE from what it seems like is for those who love being engaged into a virtual world and are mainly hardcore gamers i guess you can call em. So yeh in my opinion if you really just wanna have some fun and log in every now and then WAR would be a better choice but if your an avid gamer then definitely check out EVE.

What he said.

Also, as you are new to the world of MMOs, I would like to point out that there are many other great options out there for you.

Fallen Earth - A bit of WoW style mixed with EVE style gaming.

Lord of the Rings Online - WoW type game but with way better PVE and graphics.

DDO - Dungeon Crawling small group based game.

Darkfall - EVE style FFA pvp in a fantasy setting.

Age of Conan - dark, gritty fantasy setting wtih cool combat

And so on and so forth. All good choices.

Anyways WAR seems to be taking some turns for the better, but you said you are trialing both so you should be able to decide which you like more soon enough.
