Which is better? WOW, LOTRO, or AOC?

Before we go any further we should point out how this game world in constructed, since some may have a different idea. Instead of being one large, seamless world like Blizzard's World of Warcraft or Turbine's Lord of the Rings Online, Age of Conan is fragmented and layered. You're required to load into each zone, and each zone exists in multiple instances, something like the public hubs in ArenaNet's Guild Wars. This might be disappointing for anyone who awaited the game's release with the fantasy playing in their head of hopping on horseback and roaming unimpeded across the vast expanse of the game's explorable area. The zones by themselves are quite large, but you can't transfer between them without loading.
