If we are talking about "quantity" wow lore>lotro. after that its just a matter of taste and i prefer wow because its more complex.Originally Posted by ImSimplyJustin
And i dont realy know what lotro has early on that makes you think its better than wow.quest tracking is ******ed and if i remember well you start pvp and dungeons later than wow.also it has a shitload of restrictments for a so called f2p game.some friends made me play lotro when it launched and tbh i quit after a month or so because i didnt like at all. i realy dont know what ppl like so much about that game...
you said that from your experience lotro beats wow by a long shot however its clear that you tried lotro and then tried wow so i guess lotro didnt realy make an impression since you tried another game.
there are other f2p games out there better than lotro. everquest 2 is one of them and if you are looking for p2p games too you must try rift.

@Xmario I'm not here to start an argument. We all have our own personal preferences and we're entitled to them. When it comes to LOTRO, it did make a good impression on me even though I tried WoW afterwards. In fact, the reason I tried WoW was because I was looking for a P2P game, something that I thought then meant that it would be of a higher quality.
On a related note, you practicably read my mind about the game Rift I plan on trying the free trail on that in the next few days.
I'll look into EverQuest 2 like you suggested. Thanks for your input in all this

If this were any other genre than mmorpgs I could agree.
The time investment you put into mmorpgs makes it impossible for developers to make every single second of the game fun. Not to mention that the quests, battlegrounds and instances are all vastly better than near every other other mmorpgs low level content so the point is moot anyway >.<
Ontopic: Wows worth is in its playerbase, its lore and its polish.
No other mmorpg has as many players to compete against or befriend. I really dislike mmorpgs now which is why I only play free ones when I am bored these days. But to say wow is worse for reasons such as it not being super fun from the get go seems silly to me.

I recently started WoW and a lot of people say that it's bad timing. Because Cataclysm patch f-ed everything up. Well, Guess I'm moving on to Rift.

I thought we were debating not argueing and i realy wanted to see your answer on why is lotro better than wow early on.well nvm.@Xmario I'm not here to start an argument.

as i said earlier im talking about quantity which means pages. lotro has 3 books and has around 1300 pages. warcraft has 13 books and around 4000 pages. and as i said the rest is about each persons taste and i prefere warcraft because its more complex (it has way more characters that lotro and some of the books are very intriguing) and because i grew up with it. i could also start to write a book now and then ask my grandchild to publish it when he is old and that wouldnt make my book 100 years old.so yes Seriously.next time dont contradict people on matters you have no idea about.

Guys to be blunt, do any of you guys know the vast scale of how WoW has affected people? when you say "world of warcraft" people know, they know that it's a game; They know that they're friends and family play it, it's probably the most known game out there, I'm talking about non gamers here, I haven't even touched gamers, anyways, I'm not a WoW lover or anything but what blizzard has done right with WoW, the fact that they've done what they wanted to do, they showed initiative and made the game what they wanted it to look like, to play like and to feel like, and we rarely get games and developers like that, they just copy the layout and the game mechanics into what they make out to be a entirely different game and I'm not saying any game that does that but if you want to rob 12 millions subscribers then do something new, but I can't really say much since I've only played the free trial of WoW and I haven't played much mmo's to justify that but games like rift and others are at least "trying" and if they are then It's the worth in my opinion.

But to be fair, WoW just took ideas from other games as well. It's just that players are tired of this gaming concept. For came the desire for action games so action games were made. Then came the desire for action games that are not instanced, so now they are working on that.

I am jumping into this late but, I played WoW starting when Burning Crusade came out, stopped when Lich came out, and play on a Burning Crusade pserver atm. Anyway on topic:
I can your example of using the WoW free trial into another game as well. I played the LOTRO free trial (back when it was p2p) and I have to say, the game was unique in its own way, and I was assuming that it would be very in-depth as the game went on. But, as you did, I didn't find it that special early on in the game and decided to quit. Now, this endgame "argument" is pointless I think. If you don't store the "best" content to the end of the game, why would people stick around when they hit max level. Sure, they can PvP, but alot of other games such as Lineage 2, and of course Aion, offer this amazing PvP experience that WoW doesn't have. WoW has, by itself, created the endgame content that newer games are trying to create. Saying, "it gets good once you reach the level cap" gives players initiative to actually level through the game, knowing that the best part of the game is ahead. Most other games don't really promote that sort of idea.
I have a really good friend who plays both World of Warcraft and Aion. He splits time between them saying he just plays Aion for the PvP and the beauty that you see around, and he plays WoW for the endgame content and the connection he has with his guildmates. Honestly, it is all about opinion, and it seems to me, to plenty of people, WoW has proved to be worthwhile

I don't get what you expect out of an mmorpg.
You want them to be perfectly entertaining the whole way through, yet you admit to do this they need to be shorter. NEWSFLASH: MMORPGS HAVE NO END (unless servers go down). The whole point of the genre is to socialise to provide a large part of the fun, with enough content spread so that you don't get bored of the game itself. And you are meant to put time and effort into characters to get the sense of achievement that other genres just cannot provide.
If you want short fun games maybe you should just not play mmorpgs?
I mean you are asking for something impossible to provide. You would need like 50 gaming teams and billions upon billions of dollars to execute the type of mmorpg you seem to be expecting. Your asking for the same quality single player 10 hour long games have, except it needs to have 1000s of horus worth of that quality content.
I suspect your reasoning for thinking this way is being anti social, can't imagine you getting along brilliantly in mmorpgs >.< Seem like the kind of player that wants everything handed to them.

No, I wasn't even referring to the game itself (WoW). I only really started interfering when someone was complaining about how WoW didn't catch his interest in the trial and others gave as excuse "it gets better later on" and in my opinion that's just silly. Why should he start paying for a game although he doesn't enjoy it?
