It's the community manager's job to give attention where it's needed. LotRO is a lively community with both in-game and player-run events, contests, discussions, etc- and we're for the most part friendly and know how to behave. I don't know the situation over at DDO but if that community is lacking or in decline, it makes sense Cord would be more active over there.

Is that the case? I don't know- I don't even play DDO. But that makes a lot more sense to me... If Cord were spending all his time on DDO just because he personally liked DDO better, or because LotRO players are "second class citizens," it would be time for a job performance review because that's obvious neglect. Doesn't seem likely to me- more likely LotRO is "the good kid in class" who needs less supervision and attention to stay motivated and focused.

Also, the stat tome issue may not be Cordovan's decision to make. There's nothing for him to tell us until the devs/management/whoever decide what to do about the tomes. Then Cord will have something to tell the community.
