I just wrote a long text with the answer, but it got deleted, so I'll just tell you my opinion. WoW is old now. While WoW gets older and older, other games such as Lord of the Rings Online and Age of Conan is rising from the ground. If you are looking for an MMORPG and don't know which one to choose, I suggest you choose Lotro. Lotro has been an exelent and stable MMO from it's release and it's constantly growing. all the time new features and landmasses pops up here and there. I choose lotro!
