Not to be that guy, but both LotRO and DDO (played the free trials because I'm that kind of guy) are pretty sub-par WoW clones that will leave you annoyed you wasted the time to install.
Totally disagree. LotRO is definitely in the vein of EQ/WoW (everyone forgets that WoW is a somewhat flagrant copy of EQ's gameplay style) - but it's questing really sets it apart, as does the world; and if you like Tolkien's lore, it's really worth it.
DDO was terrible at first, but now it's pretty awesome. The combat is quite enjoyable, as are the dungeons. Especially as a rogue - stealth, acrobatics, etc, they all count towards the experience. Both are well worth trying.
