Who is more lazy? Someone who works 8+ hours a day to earn a good income but only has a few hours to play a game at night or someone who spends 18+ hours a day sitting on their behind playing a game.
I vote the person sitting on their behind…
Play both and decide for yourself. Sign up for LOTRO and play DDO for free. I have both and enjoy both, wish I had more time though.
Right now I am enjoying DDO more, probably due to being burned out on LOTRO.

A few disclaimers should be made about their $9.99 deal. First if you check it out, it's only $9.99 if you pay for 3 months in advance. Also you can purchace an account through the online store for $9.99 and get "Mines…
LOTRO is a far superior game with a bright future. Another benefit you can get a lifetime for $199 or a 9.99 monthly special if you get a founder to refer you or wait for a special around the holidays.
Also add, SOE is all that is wrong wit…
OP, the SECOND you add PVP you do not have a D&D game or a good MMO. First I ran a lot of AD&D campaigns back in the day, never once was there PVP, it does NOT exist in AD&D outside some duels. So don't ask for AD&D when all you…
I can't understand LOTRO gamers who believe the addition of quest markers will "dumb" down LOTRO. First LOTRO isn't a mentally challenging game, period. No MMO has ever mentally challenged me. Reason I find them enjoyable, they are simple ente…

Three lifetimes, considering buying a 4th. Best money I've ever spent on gaming and until another MMO offers a similarly priced Lifetime account I'm highly unlikely to go to another.
Turbine could survive if EVERYONE had a lifetime account, …
Turbine has the best customer service in the MMO business. I'm certain most of the issues OP experienced are directly a result of the OP's mistakes and attitude.
I believe most companies would rather lose a customer than deal with an ass of …
Problem with the "sandbox" and why it will fail. Developers can not forecast every method the player base will use. Certain players live to grief.
Griefing players tend to group up and form large guilds. Since they are griefers they te…
I would say Unrest in EQ as well. Nothing before or since has given as much of a fright and sense of accomplishment when "finished."
Back in the early days of EQ, Unrest was an incredible experience.
LOTRO storyline is the best of …
OP you are wrong. Darkfall is wrong. Introducing anything more than a grind in an MMO environment means failure. The playerbase can't handle the complexity. Eve is a fine example of a complex MMO environment which allows skill to determin…
Agree with everything from the previous poster.
Want to add, I firmly believe LOTRO to be the best PVE experience availabe currently in ANY MMO. Especially with MORIA, which in a single word, AMAZING.

Rather than thinking you paid $200 for only a year at $15 a month think you paid $200 for "hundreds of hours" of entertainment.

I seriously doubt I would play another game without a lifetime account offer. Something about adding another monthly bill really turns me off, even one as cheap as $15 a month. Which actually is more, because I never play a single account.

MMORPGs have never been about RPGing. In their infancy developers believed gamers would role play and work together to solve problems. Instead players focused on killing each other, cheating, stealing, grinding, seeking bigger and bigger loot so…
