so EQ and LOTRO us the same login thing and since my username and password is the same on both am i just ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

What are you talking about? EQ and LotRO are run by 2 different companies.

The only downside of having the same user name and password for multiple games / sites etc.... is if you get hacked on one they'll first try that stolen user name and password elsewhere and it will work.

daybreak games operates both games and several more

Daybreak publishes it yes, but the actual devs of LOTRO is StandingStoneGames as well as for DDO for example.
In fact, for those two games they want you to make separate accounts (although it's possible to get the same login for both if you ask support). So if two games from the same dev want separate accounts I don't see why EQ would use the same login.

my bad dungeons and dragons online if i go to the account page it takes me to DDO and people are saying you cant log in to TLOTRO with your DDO acount

[Elitewrecker PT]

Yes, previously you could use the same login for both without any issue, but some time ago the automatic sign up process stopped allowing you to do so. But you can contact support and they'll help you to use the same login for both.

That's correct. Neither Turbine nor SSG ever had a 1 'company' login that could be used for any game.

You've always have had to create a DDO AND LotRO account if you wished to play both.

Now the username and password can be the same (as that's just tied to you via THAT game account), but the email addresses need to be different for each account. They no longer let you use the same email address for both games.
