Disregard this post, most of you are just too stupid to get the point of this thread and understand it. |

I think you're mistaken there. The adult theme of gore and boobies attracts a much more immature audience then something like WAR would. Most people attracted to WAR are there because they enjoy the Warhammer universe, or because they loved Dark Age of Camelot, one of the greatest PvP games released to date. I know I'll be trying to out to see what Mythic can do, though I don't trust EAMythic, considering how down the tubes DAoC has gone since EA got their filthy hands involved on it. Also, I think a lot of people realize either their computers can't handle AoC, or that its soo not ready for release :P |

You can either agree with me or be wrong! |
Still amazes me people can somehow take a moment in time, especially the week a a limited edition of a MMO releases and think they can actually draw meaningful conclusions comparing them to games that released a while back, or even worse, games that have been and will be available for much longer.
These sales charts aren't even based on the full 60k copies that were available, just the percentage the shop had available.
If you at least want to draw the conclusion that WAR is more hyped than AOC based on sales then find some info comparing the time that AoC released it's CE and then compare that to this weeks WAR CE release.
Comparing WAR now to AoC now and concluding WAR is more hyped is just silly unless AoC released this week as well.(I'm assuming it's not although I'm not sure) |

I would get AoC just for the boobs and I'm 38. It's not that I don't see boobs IRL. But I don't see them in MMOs. A I would like to see more. I'm an anti censorship guy and I think America is way to prude, and would love to see more nudity in games, TV, everywhere, just on principle. |

Well dA_fReAK, there is video on youtube that addresses this matter. It has been on youtube for an extended period of time, and I am very suprised that no one has posted it on the forums here so I will go ahead and do so. It is very informative and has alot of good information regarding the sales of both. The video can be found here, at this link.
Your welcome in advance. |

If your computer can run "Vanguard" now, you will not have to upgrade it for another 12 years! |
Well Da_freak, I can tell you first hand after a buddy of mine was given a beta code by one of the "Funcom" developer's last night. The developer's and that game ccan kiss my ass as I don't like how they do business (been following AoC development for almost 3 years and a member of the forums for 2.6). My buddy sends a developer a mail saying he has nothing , but time because he is jobless to play/test the game and guess what happens after a week of joining the community?
He gets into beta. I'm not saying that I was pissed that he was in "happy for him",but after some thinking I got pissed at them for not rewarding a devotion of "time". Currently I cancelled my forum membership "**** em" and got my money off their "bull ****" CE (putting the money down on my 2nd Warhammer CE). In honesty I think the game will be a smoldering pile of Vanguard crap once released and won't go to it. In closing... ..I hope they never catch up to Warhammer's numbers.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic |
There are more gamers in the range of 18-35 than under 18 years of age. |

Absolutely no religious rites of any kind, relating to any religious faith, should be associated with my funeral |

Do or do not. There is no try. |

Good to see someone is as scarred from Vanguard as I am XD Honestly I think the real reason Age of Conan isn't as popular is that a great majority of people who play mmos(people under 18) have to have their parents pay for them to play. America is VERY prudish, parents don't want kids to see boobies for a long time. |
