I dont especially like MMORPG's (hypocritical... I know), but my wife likes to play them with me. She wants me to play either WoW or LOTRO with her. Which should I choose and why?

if you both enjoy it and wont let it destroy your marriage, wow is a better game. lotr might be less addicting though.

anyway, good luck.

when i decided to try mmorpgs (darkside) i first downloaded silk road, and it was ok. the best one i found was last chaos, better graphics than the others and you dont need to pay for anything unless you want to. try a google search for last chaos if your interested.

That is a hell of an idea parker. You can do a free pass for both games... right?

So the general concensus from the rest of you is WoW? If it is a better game, that works for me. I dont mind addictive (even though I dont have tons of free time).

What do you all think makes WoW better?

I used to play Runescape which is a free MMORPG but it's kinda gay now and too many younglings play it so I quit.... Now I play shooters

WoW's pvp is awesome. It's why I play. I personally wouldn't touch Lord of the Rings Online... As the pvp aspect was kinda tacked on at the end from what I've heard.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

If you want an easymode game where you can use 2 buttons to get to level 70 and never be challenged, WoW is for you.
Dunno about LOTRO though.

Try 9 Dragons. Its a free MMORPG based on martial arts and stuff. Its in open beta stages but runs as smooth as anything.
Hasn't crashed in 2 months!

I would seriously recommend it to anyone who is looking for something different in the MMO scene.

bobby, what's so funny about my comment. A good pvp guild on vent is great fun.

Playing as a warrior with a "pet" healer rocks.

I'm going to try that.

Wu Tang Clan... Hilarious little touch that. Wonder if they will be sued over it though.

The sparring as available at any level, but most of the PVP is player vs moster player. At lvl 10 you can make a L50 monster character and kill players with it in a specific zone, which players can being to go to at 40. There are fortresses which can be captured by raids and some fairly epic sized battles.
