Alot of people have complained about DDO having a monthly sub of 14.99 or that there isn't enough content to keep them entertained. Assuming that LoTRO is a fun and interesting game, would you sub to DDO with LoTRO thrown in some sort of combine sub for 19.99? This is based on the assumption that LoTRO is a good enough game at 14.99 a month to satisify their core fan base.

No, I definately wouldn't pay for a bundled pack like the SOE station all access. Why should I pay $19.99 for having the opportunity to play a game I knew I'd never play anyway.
I think it's ok to have a few games to access for one monthly fee, but if they're games that require a lot of attention, like LotR should be, I don't think it's wise to package them. If they're fast action games that have little down time, people tend to need a break and thus it's good to have something else to jump in to. But both DDO and LotR are standard MMO's in that they have downtime built-in to the games.
I'm speaking strictly from a players pov though. Who knows what a marketting company would bundle.
Just my 2¢.
