General Discussion

which one of these games is the best either by graphics, storyline and more.

Hello,

I must say, if you are mostly looking into graphics and storyline, LOTRO is defienetly worth a try. The graphic engine is pretty good, I believe the game has been updated with DX10 compared to both other games. The community is pretty good and fun, although I remember back in the time, I had a level 30ish Captain and because I was always playing late at night, I had a hard time doing my community quests. (Wich are a strong part of leveling in the later-game). I must say though that the ''PVP'' options are a little bit limited.

If you are looking into PVP, I think WoW would be the best shot. Wow has proven itself over the years and is a great game. So great that some of us may have abused it and now get sick everytime we hear its name. If you havent already tried this game, I suggest you do !

For EQ2... My experience with this game is pretty short, I have heard that for raiding, this game is one of the best. I would say that if youre someone that likes having many choices (Races, classes, etc) then you may want to try EQ2. The world is huge (Sometimes too huge) and there is a lot to do in this game. (Like in the two others, actually)

Finally, the three games have a trial version wich you can try for free, if you dont have a too limited brandwith, you can download them three and choose wich one fits you !

Problem is they all offer great feautres but it's a shame they arn't merged into one mmorpg because they all have alot of faults too which let the game down. To me the faults outweight the good in each game and I end up not playing any of them.... however since i'm that bored I'm playing WOW simply because my mates play it and grouping with them for Arena PVP is very fun.

Well, from my little experience on EQ2, I wasn't TOO impressed. I could see myself getting into playing a Froglok Swashbuckler though. XD

Lord of The Rings - I have never played it. But from what I hear, it lacks what some games have; such as pvp (Which is fine if you're not a fan of pvp. But I am, however.)

So, I would say WoW is the superior game in that list. The graphics aren't as good as some of the other fantasy MMOs, but it doesn't need to be, because it has it's own look which makes it unique.

The story part is tough for me to say. Being a big WC fan in general, I really only know the WC lore best. I have never really played EQ enough to know anything about the world, and I only know the story of Lord of The Rings by the movies.

But wow is a great game that has a different approach to the whole fantasy genra. Plus, it's easy to learn and fun to play.

The moderatos seemed to have gimped my account so I can't vote on polls.

Anyway, I've played all 3... currently playing LotR right now. I'd have to say it wins the storyline category and a close second to the graphics but EQ2 I think has the better graphics. I like the voiceovers in EQ2 and think it would be cool if LotR voiced over most of their text.

I havn't played EQ2 or LotR PvP so I can't compare the three there.

It's a bug just hit refresh or something.

My vote is for WoW, with EQ2 coming in a close second.

EQ2 is actually better than WoW in ALOT of ways, but the few things that make WoW better win the cake.

I didn't like LotRO.

I can't vote either. The vote button disappears while the page is loading.

To qualify my opinion,and it is just that..My opinion

WoW..lev.65 Warlock,lev,64 Mage,Lev.64 Pal ,lev.41 Priest Alliance, 3 lev.24-30 horde chars.4 300+ crafters

Lorto  lev.50 Minst, Lev.49 Burg and Hunter, lev.46 minst,lev.45 champ and 5 char's lev.20-29 with 6 GM crafters

EQ2  lev.45 zerker .lev.40 Necro and 2 lev.16-25 chars. 3 high lev.crafters

Best over all...Lotro for story line graphics,and quest line

 I absolutely  hate pvp really don't like it..UO ruined me from ever caring for pvp,partly because i suck at it.

 That being said,I Tried Lotro monster play,and like it.It's different

 Crafting...tough call EQ jeweler made me a ton of plat. Lotro crafters are good for any of your other chars items,by the time you can make something your main is a few levels above using it.

 SWG's crafting pre-cu .if you did it, will ruin ANY other games crafting for you,well maybe not ruin but it will seem lacking. SWG's was that good

 Solo play. Lotro, 1-50 if you want and not too hard,more fun to fellow tho.if your going to solo a game,might as well get a PS3

Things I didn't like

 EQ2 was my least played,The instanced everything got me,4 instances to get across 1 city was too much for me

 Wow  grind,and end game'I'll qualify this in a min.

Lotro  Having to swim that damn lake in Evendim

Ok..end game..To me a game is like sex,in one respect, 90% of the fun is getting there.When your there you shouldn't have to look back and say..humm,we didn't do this or that that moment is gone.and to try other things you need to start over =),which isn't bad.

 Wow you need to be maxed out or very near it to get the really good items and do the high end stuff.

Can't say for EQ2 it's only 1 or about 3 games that i never maxed out on.

 All 3 were fun EQ2 the least but for me it was all the instances.

I know a lot of people will disagree, but that's why we aren't all clones of one person.

I didn't touch all the points,but it's 4am here and i'm tired =)

I'd say EQ2 (if you want to play much, because it has tons of content) or Lotro (if you want to play not too much, because of its great graphics and lore). Wow is a stupid grind for all, didnt interest me much
