LOTRO Vs EQ2Follow

EQ-Live and EQ2 are completely different games that just happen to take place in the same world.

EQ2 is a far more casual style game (like LOTRO or WoW) while EQ-Live appeals to the more hard core player. I play both EQ2 & LOTRO and IMHO, if you burned through the content in LOTRO you will likely burn through the content in EQ2 since they are similar in terms of level of difficulty and demand for involvement.

Frankly, I think that if you burned through the Moria expansion in a month you either missed a lot or glossed over a lot. I've been there since the expansion launched and I'm nowhere near done yet.

It's true that there isn't a deep end game in LOTRO (very few raids) but thats because it's not the focus of the game - LOTRO is more about following the story of the fellowship in their journey towards Mt Doom.

At any rate, there is a lot more content in EQ2 since the game is about 5 years old so you'll last longer than you did in LOTRO but if your mindset is still to plow your way through instead of enjoying the ride then plow you will and ultimately you'll be out of content before the game is ready to give you more...

There is a deeper raid structure in EQ2 (based around 12 & 24 man raids & instances) but it is at heart still a casual game.

Actually I meant more raiding as compared to LOTRO... as I understand it, WoW has a lot of raids available.

Thanks for the info, but yes I want more raids. As for missing things, I completed all the solo quests in MoM. Least all the ones I can find, and I have been all over. Shrug. I started a char on crushbone, and noticed what you said. I was lvl 12 in 3 hours. Maybe I am just a better gamer than I used to be.

So lets put it this way, end game if you like raids, I have more choices in EQ2? Is it still viable to start an EQ1 char this late in the game and get to end game?
