Age of Conan

I have to say i m impressed. I m a huge WAR fan and will be playing it no matter what at it s release....but i m getting more impressed with this game as time goes by. I am truly bored to tears with the games out there atm and look forward to the 20 th. I need a new MMO fix and this will do a good job to fill that void. Now to decide on a class, i m usually a tank type but like dps :)

Yep I am the same as you,although I was following TCoS after that got delayed again I did alot more research into this game and I have to admit I am liking just about everything I read.

Yup the main reason I'd try AoC is to fill the months until WAR comes out.

If my comp can run it, I'm not a tech god  (yeah yeah yeah I've heard the argument it can be run on average PCs).

Then you should check out "conqueror". From what I can tell it's a dual wielding class that can tank.

Ya thats the class i m leaning towards. Now the wife i have to convince her to play , she s dead set on playing nothing till WAR comes out :) I ll just pick her up a copy too without telling her. Thats how i got her into MMO s in the first place :)

I'm the same way only I was looking forward to Spellborn, and then after that Earthrise and Champions.  WAR has dropped off my list sadly.  

This means that Conan is going to have to hold me over for a hell of a long time.

I'm with the OP, I'm REALLY looking forward to WAR....

The thing is, I may feel like i think your wife does....what's the point of playing something else?

Sure it looks like there are good things in AoC, but its not the same RvR content Im looking forward to in WAR.

Clearly the upside is that its out now not later.

Right now I'm leaning towards not trying out AoC, I'm hoping the usually summer outdoor fun makes me not miss playing an mmo.  Think it'll work?

Nope,I think 1 rainy summer night you will be gasping for your MMo fix.

1. Convincing a significant other to play an MMO I want to.
2. Having a significant other who plays MMOs in the first place.

Bewaaaaaaaaare!

Seriously though I was really bummed out to find that when I finally got into beta it required a 4GB FREAKIN' PATCH that took more than the 3 hours they opened the stinking server for to download. So unfortunately I can't give you an inside scoop on how well conquerors really do tank :/

Like it matters in reality anyways. There isn't anything else coming out for half a year so I'm pretty much committed to buying it anyways.

Hehe good point with the summer thing. She just doesn t want to spend 3-6 months at something only to drop it. I can understand that. I ll just pay for all 4 subs 2 for AOC and 2 for WAR. If i m paying for it she ll go for it lol. That being said i m sure when WAR comes out i ll play AOC a few times the first month or 2 unless it s just that good then we ll see:). I have alot of friends playing WAR and only WAR so i ll have a hard time not playing it alot aespecially the first few months.
