I'm playing WoW from the start (Europe) and I was playing LOTR in the beta and 14 day free trial and same goes for EQ2 (free trial).
QUESTING: WoW vs LOTRO

I'm sorry but I think you mentioned all games that are mostly worth of paying... I don't know, I may suggest you Lineage 2 but that's nothing comparing with Conan or WoW (my opinion however).
If that is no good for you as well then I realy don't …
