    Default RoM or LOTRO?

    I want to play one but witch do you suggest?

    The last time I played RoM (3 moths ago) it was super laggy and disconnected me all the time. How is it now? LOTRO is cool but very huge.

    if you played the euro version it was recently hacked and had the accounts compromised.
    plus if you plan to pvp the game is cash shop based.

    play LOTRO, you shant be disappoint.

    I would go for Lotro anyday over RoM, it have a much more friendly cash shop, probably one of the best seen up today within F2P mmorpg's. Sure the download is large but with it comes alot of things that RoM does not offer.

    The PvP migth be better in RoM, it's really not that interesting in lotro. Then again there are other features there to make up for it, the music system, player housing, a great crafting system etc. Overall I find there to be much much more content in lotro, and a very much so more polished game then RoM.

    Then again thats only my opinon. They are both free so you could always play some RoM while you download Lotro and give it a try, if not then you can always stick with RoM and just uninstall Lotro again.

    totally different games ..

    LOTRO = totally based on quests

    RoM = instance gear grinding

    the hacked accounts were mainly from ~2007-2008

    the complete game is cash shop based, but you can buy everything from cash shop with ingame money

    I only quit the game bc frogster releases too much new content too fast

    the game itself is lots of fun and huge playerbase

    ahh

    sorry for the missunderstanding

    indeed, I never reached endgame in lotro because questing is so boring, but some mates told me that they liked RoM more in terms of endgame.

    LOTRO endgame is amazing apparently. i never made it myself.
    the three man raids really kinda made me go "**** yes."

    Lotro's end game is ALOT harder then rom's its actually really really challenging, i was suprised, i always though of lotro as the casual mmo you play after work and raids just being go in get them done get out, but i was completely wrong.
    hell even the normal instances you do while leveling are actually pretty hard.
