    My favourite Browser MMORPG vs a MMORPG based on my favourite book series. Aqworlds has lots of quest, items and a good storyline, but it can't beat something like LOTRO. LOTRO storyline is amazing. So LOTRO going to win.

    And I hope I get a prize for pick LOTRO on 4 place.

    I don't know why I tried to get AQW win so hard. I knew it would be beaten like this...I asked staff members on Twitter (in which only 2 staff members retweeted it), posted message boards on Facebook of the company (in which 4 people came), and rallied forum members (which was the most successful; about 10 or 15 people came). But I always knew it would end like this.

    AQW is my most beloved MMORPG. It's an amazing game and I'll never stop playing it. But I have to be honest here, and not a fanboy.

    LOTRO is the better game. And it deserves to win. I doubt I'm going to try so hard for AQW to win next MMORPG Showdown; I won't have the time. I just hope AQW will be remembered forever, as an underdog who was, who battled such high profile games.

    Thanks for everything MMORPG Showdown. It was really fun to rally. And congrats to LOTRO, the rightful winner, and AQW the hopeless but amazing underdog.And finally, thanks to all the forum members who came and voted. Thanks to all the MMORPG members here too. I guess I'll just review one last time. :)

    Your efforts weren't wasted, though. It didn't really lose by all that much. :)

    MMOWiz is correct. AQ Worlds still has a small chance to win.

    Well it's better having AQW and LOTRO in the finals than Runescape. We don't need Runescape to win again.

    Hands Down - No Question

    As an avid gamer, and an rpg fan since NES Zelda; this is a hands down - no question choice: LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online)

    In addition to the 450 quests spread across 2 volumes of 15 books, a third volume is coming out to bring that total up to 675.

    Then you have even more additional side quests (i think there's more side quests than main quests actually).

    Add a whole slew of quests for "crafting" (your profession in LOTRO such as a armorér, or weaponsmith, or scholar).

    Throw in a few more quests from your battle type (champion, captain, warden, guardian, etc).

    And you'll NEVER get bored with this game.



    Has an amazing PvP system that actually requires players to work together to really make things happen.

    The fellowship system is amazing, and the skirmishes has a Call of Duty feel to it. LOTRO even supports voice chat!!



    In addition, you can join Kinships that have people who are ACTUALLY willing to help you!

    You can buy a house, and EVEN decorate it (inside AND out) and you can even choose what neighborhood you want to live in!!! Eat your heart out soccer moms.



    AQW just doesn't hold up to LOTRO. No way, no how, no category.
    Sorry AQW, but you'd have to step your game up MASSIVELY to even BEGIN to compete with LOTRO

    Making LOTRO free was probably the best decision a gamemaker has made in a long time. Out of all the F2Ps out there, this one is probably one of the best--the quality of gameplay is just so far above that of many others. AQW can hold its own, definitely, but it's geared more towards younger gamers. LOTRO by comparison is a more advanced system overall.

    It was interesting to see a winner besides Guildwars or RuneScape for the first time:).
