LOTRO
Hands down this game rocks. Content is rich. Skills and combat are fine tuned. Great instances and skirmishes. I mean really what other game can you while questing just call up an instance and play then go back to questing. And yes the skirmishes can be played solo, small fellowship, large fellowship or raid. Hundreds of deeds and titles. Has the social side to with housing that could be improved but at least they try and hit every avenue. Legendary weapons that you level up and fine tune and customize to your fit. I mean this game has it all. An epic storyline that is above and beyond any other out there right now. When this game first launched it was a fail but now? There is literally 100's of hours playing time and still not finish all the different types of quests.
Point is in a year? LOTRO will be the 2nd best game out there once they fine tune this fine piece of MMO happiness STO. But in all seriousness this game has all the potential that every other game out there has when they launch lets just see how they do in the mean time im gonna go kick hobbits in the shire

I'm sorry.... but I believe you typed LOTR in place of STO.... it's a common mistake but you should correct it
Best or greatest are such overused and inarticulate descriptions. Forget these orgasmic stylistics.
I don't do swords and monstors.
I see that every morning when I take my dog outside.

LOTRO has devolved from what could have been a great game to nothing but repetive faction grind fests.
Mirkwood is just Lothlorien rehashed with the same faction grind and the same boring rewards.
I'm not say that ST:O is the "the best" because it isn't but then again either in LOTRO.
As such there isn't a MMO now I'd reard as the best. ST:O has potentcial and I'll watch to grow.
If you have to have orcs and elves, why not make a Shadowrun MMO and mix it up a bit.
What! You don't want Federation swords and quarterstaves?!
Actually, there is: Allods Online.
Best MMO out there.
right and think that LOTRO became like that from the crappy game was at the beginning and I'm proud to say that I am one of the founder members, who did pay lifetime subscription at the beginning basically placing a bet on that game, like I did on STO today. let us hope that in the future STO will reveal itself a worthy game like lotro.
Blizzard is in the business of stealing others IPs then altering them slightly so I don't want to know how they would butcher Star Trek despite how much polish the game would have.
Warcraft = Warhammer. Starcraft = Warhammer 40k. Diablo = Heroquest.
Hands down! It had community, an economy, Huge worlds to explore. I remember town PvP wars where we literally had 200 or more people fighting each other.
It was short on story driven content thou. It was such a shame they ruined it
I don;t usually agree with you, but you're right on the money here.
A disaster complete with elves sporting 4 foot long ears.
FFXI was my first and favorite MMORPG, but it's really old now, and I'm also not sure how content I would be waiting around for groups anymore after being spoiled by other MMORPGs if I were to start playing it today.
WoW is up there high on the list for me, despite what the naysayers say. I had a lot of fun playing it for months.
Turbine TRIBBLE the LOTR IP, evil Dwarves? wtf are the Dourhands doing with Goblins? thats only two things out of a list of many things Turbine did wrong, im too lazy to spend my precious time doing it. PJs LOTR is way better. Both Cryptic and Turbine would have twisted the IP in some way.
but no. in STO we go out and kill mob's. in a ship or in space.
i can do that in every other mmo on the market. so what is to keep me here paying a monthly fee.... and the additional fees for things.
Your on the wrong forums... forget your prozac today?
Actualy World of Warcraft still blows the doors off of any other MMO on the market. I have yet to play a game that is as engaging. DDO and EQ2 comes close.
