they are both good games but with diferent positive points:
everquest- great character development and scenarios (this is a good game if you dont care much about history as the combat is fun a fast paced)
lotro-great lore and world , class are fun too ( this game rocks if you know the trilogy or like great storys to follow your adventure)
im playing lotro right now as a hunter and im enjoying it a lot but i have a everquest mage that is nice too so its a matter of trying ,and decide for yourself
