General Discussion

I will try WAR out when it comes out but I am 80% sure I wont like it, it brings nothing new. just the same old same.

The warhammer ip could be interesting, I was never a massive fan, but I still think they are doing a tird job of it. dark elves without assassins or repeater xbows, no gore, kiddy etc.

I would like to know the opinions of other people. What game will you play? Age of Conan or Warhammer Online? Please no comparing to WoW! My vote goes to WAR.

Very very good question.  Honestly?  I think both games will be amazing.  I am looking forward to both I am currently in the AOC early access and I am loving it beyond my hearts content.  I am wary of Warhammer because I am ultimately afraid that alot of the youngsters will migrate from wow to Warhammer.  And I appreciate the more mature crowd in AOC.  But If i have my way I would like to eventually play both at some point because they both have very interesting concepts.

If I had to choose between those two exclusively...

After having played both of them..AoC would be my choice.

However, AoC would only be played for a short while by me, on a PvE server... Then I'd go back to my hiatus waiting for a desent game to come out that isnt a handheld questgrind static world game.

AoC till Warhammer is released. I'm sick of what is out there right now.

AoC has nipples......

WAR?

and no, a targeted early closed beta does not apply.

Check the third post on this thread http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/239/view/forums/thread/180513/page/1

and tell me how is this a "questgrind static world".

No gore in WAR? While that sucks, I dont think it will phase me much. I played WoW so long and really didnt notice it as a problem that much.

Will console people be able to play in the same online world as the PC people in AoC?  Or will it be a separate world of just console people and just PC people.

There is one thing WAR needs to adress to make it succesful, what we will they do if one side becomes much larger than the other? Since it is so pvp centred it risks total collapse on those realms were the smaller side is constantly under siege because of inferiour number.

On other news,  Age of Conan is the 4th most played game and the 2nd most played mmorpg among members of Xfire, and increasing fast.

Well AoC sucks. Lets hope WAR will be better.

I will try War when it comes out.  AoC never appealed to me because of the nudity and gore.

Plus, my machine that plays LoTRO in Very High settings with 50 FPS...would have to play AoC in Low settings and I don't wanna play a game that looks all blurry LOL!

War's PC requirements are gonna be MUCH less than AoC- so I should be able to play that game fine.

I predict that War is gonna be HUGE too!  I think it'll be the first MMO since WoW to hit a million subs in NA.
