Whoever came up with the ideal that a Druid is a tanking class ought to be tossed out on their head. I understand this is a game and a fantasy world but in every mmo I have ever played, you will never find the kind of balogna that you find in WOW.

    WoWs dev team and the powers to be kill WOW all by itself from the classes, auction house prices to the mount prices they killed the game.

    I think in about a year after all the dust settles and the haters go away (once they figure out they are on the losing end of the mmo battle) AOC will be a top rated game, with a larger player base than WOW has.

    To the OP,  WOW was dead long before AOC. Posting numbers on here does no good, because everyone on here is a CPA when it comes to sales.

    
     

    Guess what. Wow outsells Conan already after 6 weeks.

    At amazon.com AoC has already long lost its top sales positions.

    And guess which games just sell better ? :--)

    and for the Central EU market:

    So Wow outsells Conan after a mere 6 weeks of existence.

    As if this wasn't enough...

    The subscription cards for WOW are at position ... 17, while the subscription cards for Conan are now not even in the top ... 300.

    So who is the King?

    And The Litch King hasn't even arrived yet.... :). Last sales for TBC in first month launch were 4.000.000 +. I guess WotLK will break that record easely with 4.5 million active paying subscriptions in the western world.

    It is called superb and polished game design, through extensive Beta testing, something on which FUNCON doesn't have a clue.

    So be happy with your Siege warfare at 5 frames per second ONCE every 2 weeks. We will have full Air, sea and land battles in our siege battles iand REAL open world battles as much as we like.

    BTW: for those interested have a look at the airplanes in Ironforge...:))

     

     

     

    Dude, how old are you? Did you get permission from mommy to use the PC?

    
     

    Why? does the information hurts ? :)))

    Yep,

     

    and 200 times less than TBC has now - not even including the Wrath of the Lich King with REAL open world PvP and siege systems without the "epic" limits of 48 vs 48 at 4 Frames per second.

    NOT instanced open world combats in 2008, sure the only game that will have it now...will be .... WotLK.

    Again Blizzard was just one step ahead of them all. Just as they were back then in 2004/2005 :)).

    And do not forget: FULL air, sea and land battles with full team manned tanks. All in one package.

    For those interested : Ironforge launches the attack airplanes, just have a look.

    And for those in WC 3: the different siege engines were already in that game. Talking about being prepared... :)))

    Age of Conan
• • flying mounted fighting?

  • A reminder.

    WAR is not up to 4 year old PVE Wow.

    War is up to the new launched WotLK and this is VERY much PvP orientated.

    All the weaponry of WC3 is included. Up to the airplanes found in Gnomerogon, the battleships Admiral Proudmore commanded and the landing invasions. Apparently all the siege engines and anti air systems will be present too.. together with the construction of siege mats and the keeps of course.

    It looks like Blizzard is gearing up its weaponry. :))

    Tx to the WI info at Paris last week.

    So let the best game win.

    Beta would start on July 3rd, so they are practlcally done with their game. Servers to handle the world Pvp will be installed next week in the US. So Blizzard is just waiting for the launch of Mythic. They did exactly the same thing with Vanguard btw. Postponing TBC to just two weeks after the launch of the big failure V was.

    I doubt War will have a free go from the big one.

• • A few questions to help decide

    Listen yourself.  On my server, on a weekend night, I can scan down all of the level 70 group areas and raids, and find very little Looking-for-Group or Looking-for-More activity.  Therefore, my "opinion" is valid for my server.

    While I do not like the Conan game, I acknowledge there was a perceptible drop when that game released.  Conan's 700K box purchases, or whatever the number was, wasn't all folks who are new to MMORPG's.  It has long been known that WOW is a popular stop-gap game for those waiting for a more suitable MMORPG to come out.

    And if you think WOW won't take a hit among the PVP crowd when WAR comes out, perhaps you're the one wearing the "wacky hat".  Unless WAR messes up in their implementation, WOW's PVP servers are going South when that game comes out.  Why?  Because PVP'ers like PVP-centric games. 

    As many have said, WOW is a PVE game with PVP tacked on.  WAR is a PVP game primarily and that will be a draw.  (I'm not a PVP player myself, but I see the writing on the wall.)  WOW has been a good game, but it's four years old.

    Hi a WAR troll on a Wow forum after all :))) Surprise suprise on mmorpg.com
     

    Our server EU Dragonblight is at 22900 active played post lvl 10 charcaters these days. That's 20 % more than last year same period. Same apllies to the amount of english servers  (50+ full and high) is great and I remember same period last year it was about 40. Of course it is summer :))

    But what you WAR guys forget: WAR isn't up to Wow. WAR is up to WotLK.

    Bliizard will launch WotLK with full open world PVP 3 to 4 weeks after WAR.

    I always have to laugh when you say Wow is a PVE game. Guess what ? Arena is the only e-sport game for an MMORPG.

    Will War have arena as an e-sport  on the internet?

    Will War have full equiped and manned tanks for siege combat?

    Will War have full air war mechanics (manned fighter planes and bombardment planes)?

    Will War have an anti air system (of course not they don't even have flying units).

    Will war have a D day landing battleground with landing ships, engineers and sea battles (of course not they will not even have sea transports). Combine this with complete underwater worlds.

    Will War have the siege systems and catapults already seen in WC3?

    Will War have the same dynamic fighting animations we are spoiled with in Wow. I doubt it because the videos of WAR show very slow animated fights.

    Now the best part: you DO know WAR has no seamless open world: loading screens to load zones. And the final siege systems are ...... instanced in WAR. Most other scenarios in WAR have ... 12/12 fights.

    Have a seat now : .... the siege system in Wow is in the open world ... not instanced

    News flash: beta of WotLK begins at July 3rd and .... all servers are already being prepared to handle these hundreds of players in the open world zones of WotlK.

    I think they can pull it off because the opening of the Sunwell showed two months ago the servers had no lag despite the several hundreds of players present at the opening of Sunwell.

    With hordes and Alliance at the same time, I guess around 400 to 500 were present at the same time with no lag.

    So ... TBC sold 4 million copies in a month, ... Still convinced of the "mythical" perfect game?

    BTW The fight was already 4 years ago between these two and guess who won ? :))))

    Awesome. Let the best game win !
