I would go for AOC basicly cause WAR didn`t fixed some issues since beta (server stability .lag ........stucking into absolutly anything) I like the game,lore all but no t4 content expt running for some rnvn one zone after another 2-3 dungeons which are bugged beyind beleief  and list goes on and on......

AOC (playing it right now ):Funcom wrealy and I didn`t mean that I will say that in my life has improved game alot since it release game is more optimized than before small or no lag at all world it self is wrealy nice much solo content and grouping quests/instancing down of AOC for me is that you don`t have sides there are no we are good and they are bad but I`ve spoke to the people and they say that is the way it should be so have either way I like both games will keep my eye on WAR but Aoc is just more apealing  for me right now.

I'd choose Age of Conan, without a doubt.

I'd rather play Ninja vs Pirates dodge ball on Wii than either.

 Still playing Age of Conan!

While i liked both, if i had to choose id say AoC just for the pve

WAR is out of the question :S

I recently took a small break from playing AoC and spent a few days playing The Witcher.  
Both have boobs so they are even there but...
IMHO, if you want a deep and meaningful game play The Witcher, the NPC's there are smarter then most AoC players. :P

Not to mention the endfight in The Witcher left me staring blankly at the screen for a good 10 seconds after it finished.

AoC of course

I'd pick WAR, that game at least kept my attention for 2 months. AOC on the other hand, I played for 3 days and uninstalled it. I guess I'm just not a big enough Conan fan.Everyone said the first 20 levels were awesome and then it went downhill, I thought the first part of the game sucked. Maybe I should have gotten past 20 maybe I might like what everyone else hated. lol

if there were only those 2, then maybe AoC, just because i didn't play past trial. i so wanted to play WAR, but it just isn't epic enough. after one month, there was no depth to the game.

in all honesty, i would probably go back to WoW before either of those.

IMO AoC is the best game out right now and only getting better, to bad the community is horrid.

 community is horrid every game in someway always, i would pick warhammer also.

No contest really, AoC.  WAR was fun but really shallow and small, similar to WoW without really hitting that WoW feeling.  AoC launched in rough shape technically and top content wise.  Both are long since resolved and content keeps coming.  About the only reason not to play AoC is not liking the combat system which can be high input for some people.  Fighting and typing, not really possible and without in game voice its hard outside of guild vent channels to talk to people in combat.

I on the other hand am an MMO collector of sorts, so I'm in Aion despite really not liking my beta time.  Bah only $50 and the box is metal ohh ahh ;)

Played both, enjoyed both. But I'd say WAR - I can't comment too much on AOC as I haven't played for months, but when I left it it was just too incomplete. At least WAR feels somewhat like a full game.

I do love AOC's gore though. :P

Just going to go straight out and say Warhammer, that's just me though. I disliked AoC on launch and never really went back though. Not that I'd play either if I had the choice. I'm just waiting for the perfect MMO to descend from heaven and lead us all to the holy land.

On a totally different note, how cool would an Elder Scrolls MMO be, or a Bioshock MMO.

Suicide... but if you're really forcing me to choose... WAR.

Don't like the PvP in AoC. I think it feels messy and really not fun. For this reason I'd choose WAR 100% of the time over AoC.

WAR has the better management but not the better game sadly.

AOC as there is no other like it.

Better management !

Maybe in the US but in the EU GOA is just terrible, they are one of the main reasons i left the game as they organised character transfers that left two of my chars on an empty server with no option to transfer off! Something a primary school student could plan and execute easily.

Even now ppls are still complaining about GOA on their offical forums here and here

Played both, both were really quite boring to me.

If those were my only choices, I'd play my Xbox instead.

I like both games, but AoC has a special place in my heart.

They are both souless games, they get tedious pretty quickly.
But out of the 2 Warhammer is the most disappointing, such a waste of IP licensing.

WAR. I just like the classes better. Since, I do have a choice I choose neither. Even if they were free I wouldn't play.

Ive played both, I have mixed feelings about both yet I still enjoy both of them.  I currently dont sub to either, but Im considering picking up a third game to sub to and was considering these two.

Yet, I'd still like to know how some of you feel about these two games if you've played both or are currently playing them. 

So, consider this dilema.  If for whatever reason you could only play these two MMO's and no others, which would you choose?  Why specifically would you choose one over the other?  Do you think the game you would NOT choose offers anything at all over the game you would choose?

It would really depend on my mood, because both games are good, but for different reasons.

AoC- If I felt more in the mood for a good PvE experience, I'd probably choose this game. I like the graphics and the combat, but have never made it past lvl 20. It'd be something new to play PvE wise and boasts some good dungeons later on. This game has PvP and some cool concepts for it, which I would love to play, but it seems to happen later in the game.

WAR- The PvE is okay, but I'd play it mainly for the PvP. It's fun creating a class and entering PvP 10 seconds after your character loads up. It doesn't matter that you're level 1, because you'll level up soon enough through PvP and get gear from PvP merchants. However, the fun from PvP wears off after about a week or two for me.

I just want to say that I'm not saying one game is better or worse at PvP or PvE, I just would play them for those reasons.

AoC.
