City of Heroes/Villians or Lord of the Rings Online

[Sentrosi2121]

Pretty much done with WoW and was thinking of getting back into either LotRO or City of Heroes. I have a couple of characters but it's been since release that I've played City of Heroes. I've got a Hunter up to level 50 the last time I played it. I'm slightly leaning toward City of Heroes but the $10/month that LotRO is offering is tempting.

i'm pretty sure the 10/month for lotro ends 6/30... so you'd better get in on it tomorrow if you're going to.



i have to say i'm endlessly impressed with lotro coming from wow. the graphics are so amazing, everything seems extremely polished, and in general i just seem to have a lot more fun.




i do occasionally miss raiding... but i haven't done that since back in BC.

City of Heroes was the shit when I played it... I would play it again but I know I would either be highly disappointed or EXTREMELY addicted again.

I've played both but LOTRO a lot more. I made a ton of characters in City of Heroes (about 15 all told) which was a lot of fun but never played any very far into the game. It didn't grab me.

I started LOTRO in January and have a level 60 guardian. The game is a lot of fun. Probably the most polished MMO that I've played yet (though I haven't played WoW in a long time, I imagine it is quite polished at this point). They also just released Book 8 for LOTRO so it just got a mini-expansion.

If you have a level 50 you can get the mines of moria expansion and level up to 60 now. Also get legendary items which are a cool concept (you level your items and when they go up levels they get more skills and abilities).

I put a little over 500 hrs in LOTRO in 6 months. Have 1 60 Champ and a 40 Loremaster. I just cancelled the sub. It was a ton of fun, but like most MMOs I got bored. But still 500 hrs is a lot of gameplay. I'm taking a MMO hiatus waiting for The Old Republic..so in the meantime you'll catch me playing mindless shooters

I enjoyed LotRO quite a bit. Don't have a system that can currently play it though.
