Age of Conan

You know: emotes, good quest stories, places to hang out and socialize, stuff that serves no 'real' purpose except make the world more immersive?

Your attitude towards MMOs is disturbing.

The things you mentioned are things that defines an MMO. 

Maybe you should go play singleplayer games?

And to answer your question; Obviously yes!

Think the OP was being sarcastic & i think there will be alot of scope to RP, in soem MMO's they have places to socialize but no real reason to be there but we get Bar Brawls so i think these will be good places to be, maybe like Cantinas in SWG ? either way can only be a good thing.

• The Aquilonians have the best taverns ...
• The Cimmerians got the best wine ...
• The Stygians got the most willing "companions" ...

I wonder which one you'll choose to hang around ...

[I'm just trying to be funny. Nothing mentioned above has to do with actual in-game footage. Besides nipples. And taverns. And wine ... ]

You say stuff like this defines an MMO...well, I wish that were true. The MMO audience is changing, many don't give a rat's ass about RP. WoW made this genre mainstream, and lured in many people with an RTS, FPS or console/action RPG background. New MMO developers are going with the trend, with games like WAR proudly proclaiming "this is war!" "war is everywhere!" "no daisy-picking during war!". Phrases the rabid fans are happy to echo if you ask about inns or housing.

So I got worried for Age of Conan. A lot of this game's marketing revolves around its action-paced combat. But will it have stuff for us immersionists as well? Stuff that's totally useless mechanics wise, but helps to make the world come alive?

Eh? I like these things, I want them to be in there, but I don't think it's a given...

Sorry, I thought you were one of them.

 

Neh...I was bitten, but I cut off the infected limb.

"Funcom I have never prayed to you before, I have no keyboard for it. Many developers have worked on this MMORPG and all gamers shall remember if they were good or bad. So grant me this one thing, grant me a decent MMO with RP and PvP and decent quests and tools to build good communities and guilds with violent and bloody combat that is fun with plenty of drunken noob slaughtering. And if you do not listen......

          TO SOE WITH YOU!!"
