I have also been an ardent follower of this game since it was announced. I know the developers are themselves serious and hardcore gamers. They have worked hard to make a game as much for themselves as for us. It would have been easy to keep the content they intended close to the vest and not reveal anything until Beta. Class changes and enhancements are inevitable and should really come as no surprise to anyone. Those that have thumbed their noses at this move by the developers are really being too sensative. They should be on their knees thanking the heavens this didn't happen after release. Especially for these sensative gamers with suicidal tendancies. I personally applaude the efforts made and although I too am chompimg at the bit to play, I can wait a little more for the final coats of varnish to dry. I anticipate the wait will be well worth it. And by Kromm it better be...

I been following this game for a while.  I hope will turn ok, with the new combat settings and all.  It will take some polish afther the games come out ,  maybe a few months.  I hope it will have that old good fealling , like when EQ came out for the first time. 

Ability to Solo to level 80 does it for me )  - not that I never group but LOTRO was not for soloing if u wanted to do the main story book quest

As for WAR a big downer is the Wow like cartoony graphics and too much pvp could get tedious

The more I read about AOC the more I like it.  All the videos on the AOC site reinforce this feeling (if you have not seen them WHY NOT?      http://www.ageofconan.com/

I applied for the beta months ago but no luck yet 

Roll on May

I have taken a look at WAR.  For some reason that just does not grab me at this point.

You wouldn't be if you had played them both. There is no comparison.....AoC is the future of mmorpgs.

mmmmm, i love the smell of anarchy online in the morning... Seems to me like the real thing will be delivered, real engaging play with all the great elements from AO, only in a new setting and tech. + totaly polished.

I just cant wait anymore...

By the time I finish with the WotLK, AoC should become the AAA title it's expected to be and then I plan to jump in and enjoy the action oriented combat, dark seting and bloody boobs.

WAR? War is in AoC, many wars, against anyone you or your guild choose. 

I personally think Age of Conan will introduce a new genre of MMORPG's into the world. I've read loads of information on the game, looked at a lot of video footage available and I keep getting more and more hyped about this game. Especially since the current MMORGP's have nothing to offer me and I've left WoW for good. All (ex)WoW-ers will understand me when I say that I want to get caught up again in a game, like an addiction and just spend my time exploring, making friends and most of all having fun. I truly believe Age of Conan will do this for me.

Very nice read. It's good to see developers caring about the community, and passing along great information!
