Listen to Zorndorf, he's telling to go play Wow. Just like 3004 of his other post is trying to do. |

Saying a game is better than WAR or AoC isnt saying much and as far as MMOs go all five of those games are pretty terrible. Sorry but I've out grown games that hold my hand like im in capable of choosing my own path. Why would I play a pathetic themepark MMO when I could enjoy a masterpiece like Mass Effect, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Dragon Age? |

I played both, both were good, but i think AoC was my choice simply because WAR was a bit too repetitive for me. |

Choice: Age of Conan. Reason: Boobies. |

Not as different as other 5 stars posters who happen to cite EVE or GW in every post they make (signature and all... :) At least I am on topic, because the OP was talking about ex XXX killers remember. I just pointed out it was a risk to play both games in view of the "new" XXX killers that will come out. See? I already censored my posts. But seriously with SC,SW, CATA and D3, I don't see much future in both. |

But seriously with SC,SW, CATA and D3, I don't see much future in both. I had no problem with WOW. I played it over three years and loved it. As all games go, it began to become old and a chore and I moved on last year. Still there was a lot of fun for me especially in the vanilla days. I have not found a suitable replacement yet, though I am playing DDO currently and having good fun with it. |

Warhammer by milesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. This isn't even a choice. Warhammer 1-21ish was one of the best games I played, and the most fun for those levels. After that the game was terrible. |

If you already play World of Warcraft you should really go AoC. Why; AoC is something different and dont need 1000hours of investment. For me WoW is to like Warhammer that I could play them both. |

AoC for me, it has under gone so many changes since release including a complete re-design of the RPG system. And is growing with more content all the time and an up coming expansion. Nice take on classes and i like the comabt system. Graphics are top notch and run so smooth in Aoc. Compare that to WAR where the fps is linked to you connection speed=poor performance when in congested pvp areas. I want to like WAR but u need to be on a populated server etc, and hopefully they can do something about the lag sooner rather then later. Another point to note, by looking at the posts on these forums, is that WAR seems to be going down in popularity with alot of negative posts, whereas AoC seems to be growing in popularity, make of that what you like................ Currently playing WoW. |

Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can? - Sun Tsu |
If I had to choose I would just quit MMOrpgs all together lol I prefer playing Call of Duty on the same freaking map for the rest of my life then playing one these games.
|

Having played both quite extensively I would have to say Warhammer Online. Reason: WAR actually does work. AoC = 80 Assassin, 80 HoX WAR = 40/58 WH, 40/49 BW, 40/48 Sorc |
|

I have played both.
I made it to level 56 in AoC before canceling. I only made it to level 14 in Warhammer before canceling. AoC was a decent game, but Warhammer was probably the most boring MMO I have ever played.....and I've played a lot of them.
My vote goes to AoC.

I have played both games, I definitely prefer AoC with the better graphics and multiple avenues to enjoy the game. In AoC, I enjoy both the PvE and the PvP, while in War you really need a solid population on server for RvR. |

Vanguard....oh wait,that was not on the list,was it?
Vanguard anyway.. :-) Jah Rasta For I. |

I think that AoC > WAR for PVE, crafting, guilds, graphics WAR > AoC for PvP |
|
I HAD to chose, I would chose age of conan.
There is no compelling reason why I would chose it over warhammer other than I know warhammer will not turn into something I will enjoy. Even though I want it to. |
|
|
AOC simply because the Warhammer engine is so bad. |
|
|
If I had to choose, I would most like pick AoC. I have played both games (didn't like either tbh), but I seemed to enjoy AoC more. |
|
|
I prefer AOC . I took a break for a bit but will definitely go back to try out next group of changes at least. |
|
|
Warhammer would be my choice. NcSoft has perfected the paid for grindfest, and I am sad because of it :-( |

Hard to say, only played AOC for first 2 months or so after launch and WAR about a month or two as well. Both games have changed significantly since then, so I'd be hard pressed to pick one over another without giving each another go.

Age of Conan for me. WAR's concept of an RvR themepark was interesting and even slightly brave .. but completely failed to engage me. |
