There's gonna be the following answers:

WoW is still good.
LotR is a piece of sh*te.
Go to Age of Conan, evryone else is!
Age of Conan is sh*te!
Wait until WAR comes out!
WAR is sh*te!
WAR, huh, what is it a good for...
Tom Jones is especially sh*te!!!

About or so.

WAR wont be out for at least 6 months i reckon. AoC is nice, decent game play and the graphics in places are some of the best I have seen.

Level in your own pace and take in the story

Lotro is a really good game and one of the few mmorpgs with regular, free content updates.

AoC is a popular choice. It's new and it's always difficult to know how good a game actually is until players have experienced the high-end content and pvp, but so far it looks like a winner.

WoW is still a great game, regardless of what some players say.

WAR probably won't be out for 3+ months

Have played TR, LotR, EVE, DAoC, Warhammer briefly and I have to say that AoC is the most exciting shit that has hit the planet.

If you want fast paced combat in which you have to use your brain to win, if you want to hear your enemies gurgling their blood while you kill them, if you want a unique lore and not yet another dwarfs/elves-game, if you want amazing graphics and stunning sound, then AoC is the way to go.

It simply rocks, the first game since Diablo 2 for me to have a such high addiction factor.

Have to disagree on EVE though. If you like that pace of game(slow, high loss ratio, etc...) it's quite unique.

Flame me if I'm wrong (and probably if I'm right, too) but I reckon that WoW's popularity speaks volumes for the "carrot and no stick" methodology.

Difficult to argue with the WoW numbers, it's the game a lot of players love to hate, others hate to love and most just simply love
