Age of Conan

another one of those games where you grind for a couple months to level up, then grind all the time for this or that, then spend months and years collecting Uber gear so that you can stand around and look cool.... and tell people that you are a hardcore gamer... despite the fact that you get dizzy and throw up when you play FPS games.

Sound about right?

Isn't that every MMO nowadays?

No there are other ones out there... however the WoW idiots refuse to recognize the existence of the other games...  Or I should say they buy the other games... play 15 minutes and realize that they could be working on their WoW faction rep and go OMG and log off and go play WoW.  Then they insult the other games because they aren't like WoW.

 Examples: Pirates of the Burning Sea... EvE.... WWII Online.... Roma Victor, and  DDO as welll to a large extent... even though endgame is quite limited.  I'm sure there are more than that, but those are the one's I'm aware of.

If I wanted to play WoW... I wouldn't have deleted the game from my hard drive and thrown the disks in the trash.

Word you`re a real hard guy man, can i get an autograph?

This is really shaping up to be....

another thread where someone claims to know how a game will work without presenting any tangible evidence, nor any experience (how could he, the game's not released), to make a claim about a game he obviously has not bothered to check out the available facts of. Not to mention that he compares games from totally different areas with each other. If you like EVE Online, why not play it, instead of attacking another game? Or Pirates of the Burning Sea? Or wait for Earthrise to come out?

Seriously, I respect your wishes for a game, I really do, I just don't see why you need to attack a game that was never meant to be like the games you obviously like so much better. I don't think the Developers of AoC -ever- claimed they would do a game anywhere -near- EVE Online or the other examples you brought up.

Interesting thoughts! Often what I think of in my mind, but don't have the courage to say about games because of the overwhelming fear of being incinerated by an inferno of flaming text. Good stuff!

Just figured I'd drop in and flame you guys.  So easy to do.   Anyway I think the game will fail because it's target audience will all keep playing WoW.

a fairly typical MMORPG game.  Hopefully it will add a few tweaks that make it different than its predecessors, but as long as I'm having fun, I don't care.

If I want different, I'll keep playing EVE.  (which I will)
