Out of the three you mentioned, I'd say try warhammer online first. I liked it when I saw it a few weeks ago. I used to be into the mmo scene :p

A friend just gave me a 10 day free trial to LotR's online, so I am DLing the 10 gig game, and will give that one a try.

It's funny. I never imagined you being someone that plays videogames. I just thought you found this site and joined up after you saw Off Topic.

Aion, nuff said.

hahaha

My first video game was a Trek game on a mainframe in the mid 70's. I got Pong when it first came out, and a PC in 1980. I have had every major console other then the N64 and GameCube, and currently have the PS3, Wii, and 360.

I would guess I have played over 2,000 computer and console games.

:)

EverQuest 2

It has more features then litterally ALL the other MMO's combined.

For gods sake you BUY, BUild and DECORATE your houses ANY WEAY YOU WANT...

did i mention your GUILDS (or clans) also get Guild Halls that are the size of a freaking city?...That you can do what ever you want to?

It like Little Big Planet on PC crack.

I played EQ2 for 4-5 months. Got bored, and never went back. There is just something about it that's not all that fun. Not sure what it is, but it's not a bad game. Just not all that great.

You could try EVE. It's different.

I would give Aion or SW: TOR a try, unless you want to just wait for FFXIV. I will probably wait for FFXIV. Played WoW for over 2 years, and having my life back is so much better.

Hey I played WAR and know a few dudes, who play LOtor.

Basicly the decission between these two comes down to one question: Do you like PVE or do you PVP. LotrO is basicly a story pve game with rich and colorful quests, wich follow the LOTR story.

WAR is  PVP centric, although there are some PVE instances. Now let me tell you that WAR was by far the best experience i ever had in an MMO. But it only lasted from lvl 0-27. After lvl 25 the leveling process get tedious and playing the same scenarios for 20000 time gets boring. I also had a problem with the scenarois b/c they were IMO not as good structured as they are in WOW. I quit the game after 2-3 months, but i would still play it if some of my usual buddies would play it.

About Aion, FFXIV and new SW MMO.

SW MMO : Basicly  a Kotor game but online. You can look at it like an evolution of LotRO. While waiting for this one you can easily play something else, b/c it don't gonna come out until late 2010 or even 2011.

Aion: Cannot understand what's so special or good about this one. I looked at the classes and they are all plain and generic, nothing i would pick.

FFXIV: So yeah .. it has FF in it's name and it is on console(s) but there rly are no features or information on this game. FFXI was meh so i would pass on this one.

My choise would be WAR.
