Me personally, I can't wait. It sounds cool so far and I'm tired of the cartoony WoW and crappy SWG. GIVE ME DISMEMBERMENT!! GIVE ME THE LAMENATIONS OF YOUR WOMEN!!!

So, who all is getting this Tuesday?

my friends are talking about getting it. i dunno if i want to start another mmo, 1 is plenty for me right now.

So atleast you can get rewarded with naked women when you finished GRINDING? Well, it's still something.

The only mamorpiguh I've ever played and truely enjoyed so far was CoH/V and swords and shields are usually boring as hell so I doubt I'll be getting it.

From what I understand, female in the american version will not be nude. They will be in the european version

SORRY NO PIXELBOOBS FOR YOU!

lame

This sounds pretty cool actually, if there's a trial I'd definitely give it a shot.

Looks pretty silly.

well my guild in WoW has just started attempts on Illidan, will probably take us 2-3 weeks to get the hang of that fight. I'll continue to play WoW for probably a month or so after and then give AoC a try.

It's the summer (very nearly) and I'm getting fed up of raiding in the lovely warm evenings when I could be outside windsurfing or doing something else.

Got quite a few people from WoW who plan to move to AoC and just PvP and never raid ever again. Raiding was good fun, but I really don't see WoW changing in anyway that makes me want to stick on and play till level 80 and just repeat what I've been doing at level 70.

:saddowns:

This.

I love the setting, and Robert E. Howard is one of my favorite authors. However, I'll wait until the reviews start coming in before I buy the game.

Yea I'm very interested in the setting but my computer is starting to feel outdated again despite the dual core, 2gb ram and radeon x1900xt I have in it. I'm doubtful it will run very well, and I've been spoiled by how smoot wow runs.

I want to play a trial first.

.

Oh my.

I love how they're handling PVP, but the fighting controls seemed a little odd in the video I saw. I'll wait for reviews.

Originally, they said there would be massive PvP between guilds in contested areas, but a recent video showed they were focusing on battegrounds.

From what I've played in the Open Beta its crash central. As in, every 3 steps.

No Siege Warfare? If that isn't in the game at release, I do hope they add it in a patch within the first few months.

Are there any other areas of the game that utilize mercenaries like that?

*cough*beta*cough*

Now that I think of it, wasn't the open beta also a stress test?

I'm going to try it out for a month or so. I've been playing WoW off and on for 2 years, guild leader is quitting to play Conan. I looked at some videos and decided that it looked boring, but so does WoW on video so I thought I wouldn't judge the book without trying it.

Also, I'm not sure why you have a problem with WoW's cartooney graphics. For me its a plus side to the game. It keeps it not from trying to take itself too seriously as well as not giving people the expectation of everything being realistic. You might not understand what I mean but the best example of what I'm talking about is that the super-realistic graphics of Age of Conan kind of turn me off of an MMORPG. They are awkward looking and weirdly animated, just like LOTRO. I like the responsiveness and control of a less demanding /realistic game I guess.

You know this happens in real life too, right? grind in the gym, get laid?

I'm sure it will include it, but it might be an afterthought to battlegrounds which offer more recognition and loot. Or battlegrounds might just be a way for lower level and unaffiliated players to get some PvP play. No one can say until the game actually starts going. But it looks like they're modelling them after the WoW battlegrounds, so they better offer some good rewards for siege level PvP if they want people to utilize it. One thing about MMOs is that people will always take the quickest route to try to get to the top. Using WoW as an example (a game I only played for a couple of months before getting tired of it), there are certain instances that just aren't played because you can't get good loot from them. Look at Blackfathom Deeps. Really awesome play experience, but no one does it because there's no good drops, so it's considered a waste of time.

Nerds talk about going outside itt.

BFD was one of my favorite instances. I got to use my Hydrocane a lot in that one. Did it mostly for the XP. Yeah, no good loot drops, but oh well.

That hasn't properly worked since the 1980s.
