It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a viking to raze a village!

The always present "loading screens" combined with laughable first generations quests and a complete lack of playability will put it under in 2 months time.

You are wrong, and I hope you come back to these forums in 2 months time and admit that.

Age of Conan seem to have got way to high expectations in comparison to what I believe they will deliver. Personally I see no way of AoC managing to complete everything it has said it would complete - and everyone hopes it will complete.

I don't know why you're brooding so much. 2008 looks to be a good year. Saga was released, Mabinogi looks really interesting (even if one has to create a character and come back 2 months later to avoid some of the more grindy parts), and Beyond Protocol is coming as well. There just isn't enough time in the day!

Cynical? Me? Never.

Well, I don't expect anything great from AoC, and I certainly don't care about WOW. WAR I'm on the fence about. It could be a blast like early DAoC or a bomb like the current DAoC. So, really, the only game that can disappoint me is WAR. If AOC turns our great that'd be a nice surprise, but I don't give 2 craps about WoW.

Or is there some other contender launching in 2008 that will set forums ablaze with nerd rage at it's incompleteness and ineptitude?

I voted WoW expansion. Is a matter of numbers, WoW has the bigger player base so for sure it will have the more amount of people complaning. If only 1 million of players coplain about WoW expansion its a small ampount of Wow playerbase but still more than any other game. No matter what other games do.

HaHa!

Heh, well I voted WoW just because I have a sick desire to see that game die!

I put some of the blame on people who come to forums and hype of forthcoming games.  They foster an environment with expectations that are very high.   And it is hard to live up to unrealistic expectations!

As for the game companies, it would be nice if they would hold back on information and only release what is currently ready to play.

Be careful when you fight the trolls, lest you become one.

None of the above. I vote Spellbourne, because it still won't be out, and will unofficially be considered vapourware.
