Age of Conan

I urge you to read this post. guys, i really had high expectations for AOC. but for the past days, since pvp weekend, i get a bad feeling. you get the sense that a lot problems surrounds this game. do you feel the same?

it launches in less than a month and the NDA will be lifted in a few weeks

there'll be plenty of commentary soon enough

Sit back and relax Grimland.  We will all soon know the true AoC.

Whereas I am looking forward to BOTH games, I do feel that the author of that editorial is a bit biased towards WAR.  I understand his view of open beta and the lack of info on certain aspects of AoC (same can be said about WAR), but I don't see anything wrong with how they are going about their open beta in AoC.  Honestly years ago there just wasn't as many people playing MMOs as there is now.  I don't think many game companies are willing to foot the bill for millions of people to play their game for free.

Can AoC have a regular open beta? Most games can...but most are not rated 'M'. If they did an open beta...then they would need CC confirmation of you age. That would be a pain for a beta test. Makes sence to go threw a company where ppl already have an account. Tho I am not fond of the this camping for beta codes that Fileplanet has done. Would make more sence just to randomly select ppl who sign up for the test n send out the codes over time.

^^ agree with the above .
The op seems to much like a WAR fanboy seriously from the footage of WAR i have seen how people can compare it to AoC is out of my comprehension.

When i see WAR seems to me like a cheap imitation of WoW and the only + for now its it have RVR like DAOC come on people must be blind not to see that WoW with the new patch will eventually have the same features and all people that will have a reason to play WAR they will return to WoW.

Never try to Copy WoW it will backfire coz Blizzard its no1 on its game only for that WAR it FAILS! Instead try to be innovative like AoC is and u may have a successful game.

Man, there sure are alot of cry babies in the MMO community. Go buy a fishing pole or a gun and go fishing or hunting and shut up. You take a game way to damn serious.

Am I excited to play AoC? Yes, I went to Fileplanet, paid 7 dollars for something I find to enjoy besides just wanting to try AoC and will probably keep my Fileplanet account, downloaded the Comrade and went turkey hunting. I got home and after an hour heard a ding, went to my pc and saw to click for a key, I click got a key and started downloading. Where is the camping in that?

I am not worried about the release,I wont pay for the open beta,I am sure there will be lots of info on this site leading to the release once the NDA is lifted so I dont see the problem,Sure you will have to seperate the fanboi from the flamer but you will get a good idea about the game.

I am not sure what you mean "since the pvp weekend"that seemed to go quite well and that was on the old engine,I wouldnt worry too much like I said plenty info incomming soon,Also you could just wait a month after release and see how many still want to play after the free month that come's with the game then make up your mind.

What bothers me the most is the NDA duration.  For a game that will launch in a month and still under NDA i have a feeling the game developpers are trying to hide something.   Just get rid of it already, so peoples can make comments about it.

All I can say is WAR will disappoint. As for AoC - its close enough that you can wait and see. Why even start threads like this when the game will be in beta next week? Tons of info then - so stop trolling the forums to pass the time and go fly a kite. Or hunt as mentioned above lol.
