I played the game for over a year, played through Moria expansion, and I really liked the game. Population was not too bad (took a really long time to get a raid group together though), quests were fun, I am a fan of Lord of the Rings. This was the first MMO I played, and after watching some videos of WoW I decided to try it out and I have been enjoying WoW a lot more than Lotro. One of the biggest differences is the population, WoW just seams to have a better living world than LOTRO. WoW also seems to be a way larger world than LOTRO. Every land in Lotro seems too small and confined and "closed off" in a way. The items were another thing I didn't really like in lotro, there didnt seem to be a large variety and at higher levels everyone had the same gear. I also thought the gear didn't look to great. Overall I think Lotro is a good game to play but in my opinion I prefer WoW, it just has a lot more to offer.Different mounts, more items, way larger population, large world/landscape, variety of jobs, amazing raids. One thing which is different in Lotro though is the story. There are main story quests that you can follow which progress throughout the game. The game takes place during the lord of the rings novels, so that story is happening at the same time your playing, and you are indirectly helping out the fellowship. I'm not sure what will happen to the game though once the story ends....
And Lotro its not a grind fest,most of the grinding you will dowill be grinding for titles.
If you have any questions about anything with the game ive played through it all, so if you want to know about any game mechanics just ask.
