  1. Max Level of both games?  80 for AoC not sure about WAR
  2. Does both games have raids?   I believe both do
  3. Is the world engine like WoW or like GW (that you can only meet each other in towns)?  Like WoW's
  4. Which one has Better PVP?  How would anyone know?  I doubt there are very many who are or have tested both, and they most likely wouldn't share if they had.
  5. Which one do you think that would be played the most?  Probably WAR


  6. What would be the monthly costs of both games?  Time will tell
  7. Does both games have raids?  you really like raiding eh?
  8. Which game does have a bigger map / world? AoC

Probably not the best answers, but I tried.  Also your poll is very weak, the question which is very open ended.   Which?  Canada or Taco Salad.

  1. Max Level of both games? WAR = 40AoC = 80 
  2. Does both games have raids? Yes
  3. Is the world engine like WoW or like GW (that you can only meet each other in towns)? If you are asking about creation WAR is created on an improved DAoC engine. As for what I believe you are asking, both games are much more open than GW and everything is not instanced to such an extent.
  4. Which one has Better PVP? Depends, do you like RvR or cutting limbs off.
  5. Which one do you think that would be played the most? Both
  6. What would be the monthly costs of both games? Both are around $15 or less.
  7. Which game does have a bigger map / world? WAR has a considerably large map.

Here are a few answers, though they are considerably biased towards WAR because I do not follow AoC beyond very basic info. Play what you want, don't depend on us to make your decisions for you.

Where can I find something that states WAR's game world size, I have been looking but cant seem to find it.  If you know the estimated size that would be great

No offense to the OP, but it is impossible to make a coherent choice at this time, unless you are in both closed betas.

We are recruiting.

1: Theres 80 PvE levels, 20 PvP leves and 5 Mercenary levels (which are optional for those that are unguilded who want to participate in the end-game PvP.) As to WAR I couldn't tell you.

2: I believe so. AoC has 24 man instances throughout the game. However in AoC PvP gear and PvE gear is separate. There are 'tiers' of quality of gear in AoC where you have to have one, to enter the next dungeon, etc. But if you hate raiding and love PvP, you don't ever have to raid to get the best PvP gear.

3: WoW, though the game is divided into zones, ala AO or EQ1/2. Most zones are very big and the entire world is supposedly 185sq miles. To compare, WoW when it came out was some 80sq miles. Though WoW + TBC is relatively the same size.

4: No one can say until release. I think AoC will have more 'meaningful' PvP, especially end game. Because it's not Faction vs Faction, you can make enemies, and friends, and the Boarder Kingdom targets aren't hard targets that you capture or defend. You have to build your own Keeps and Towers and defend them, or attempt to destroy an enemy Keep or Tower and build your own. The longer you hold it, the more bonuses you and your guild gain. This makes the end game PvP very dynamic and world changing and real time. Much more so then just capturing a static target.

In the end, no one who hasn't played both, to the end game, can say. But with AoC's real time and dynamic combat and visceral and bloody feel, I think it'll probably be more fun compared to the 'samey' button mashing of WAR. But who knows.

5: Probably WAR. It's more generic in design and will appeal to a broader audience. But IMHO AoC will be the better game.

6: Funcom will be charging (according to resent released info) the average $15 a month. WAR may as well but EA has already stated that they are planning to raise the fee. Typical EA, it may hold, it may not. If the game is awesome, it'll hold. If the game sucks or is just to much of the same generic old MMOG, it'll fall flat.

7: AoC is 185sq miles. I haven't a clue what WAR is.

Yeah I saw this also on the War page and its gotten a lot more response over there than here. But I dont care if people want to play War more power to them. Im all for AoC that 4sho.

The graphics and animation of War is just a huge turn off for me. AOC is by far the best game coming out before summer.
