Maybe Mythic should delay WAR for another year. That will be sweet!

I hear what you're saying (and apparently, in the past, the Forum Mods have also ) but sometimes you just need to make a choice.

But, wait, let me try to simplify the decision just a bit.

1) AoC will suck.

2) WAR will not.

Does that help at all?

"Those who are willing to forsake their civil liberties for security deserve neither."

Just play both. That's what I intend on doing. I don't really have enough game time to fit two MMORPGs into my schedule, so I figure I'll give them both a shot and see which one I gravitate towards. Honestly though, if WAR comes out first and it's as good as it seems to be shaping up to, AoC won't have much of a chance to make it onto my PC.

Once they're both actually finished I'm sure the decision will be much easier.  I really can't see getting in a bind about it now.

Personally I'll buy them both and play them both (have lots of free time).

Then eventually I'll cancel them both... (the reason for that would be to much text atm).

Hopefully it takes mythic longer to screw up WAR than it took them to screw up DAoC.

oh and hopefully AOC launches a tad better than AO.

"We already have two operating MMOs. We launched a game called Ultima Online in 1997. It's still got hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Then there's Dark Age of Camelot, we also have a situation where we have well over 100,000 subscribers."

-Frank Gibeau of Electronic Arts.

Does it seem odd that UO has more subscribers than the best RvR game on the market?

Its pretty simple really...

AoC is going to be a gear/pve centric game with some RPG style thrown in.

WAR is going to be a PvP/RvR centric game.

I personally don't want anything to do with AoC. It seems way to immature for my tastes.

And blood and guts aren't what make a game mature (Maturity, not what the ESRB dictates). Nor is using sex as a buff source....

Yes, you can argue that sex is a staple in Robert E. Howard's work and that AoC will have a M rating so that this won't be intended for kids. I just don't think it necessary to have it at all. There are many more facets of the Conan books to delve into without using this one.

AoC looks cool, they did a nice job of bringing something different to MMO combat. But WAR is really revolutionizing a lot of what RPG games used to be about...Mythic basically took everything we like from the genre right now and used it in some way or another, fixed a lot of the stuff we don't like, and added some of the most kick ass material I've ever heard about. I.E; Public Quests, Capital City raids.

WAR it is.

Until you have actually played WAR, you may really want to hold those opinions...

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
