I played EQ2 back when it came out and then came back a few years later.  I played WoW a few months after it came out and then a few years later.  I was in friendly, dedicated guilds in both.  I must say that WoW doesn't really have that "homey" feel anymore EQ2 has.  EQ2 seems to me like the community is tighter.  Anyways I would try the trial on both. 

I know you probably won't read this but let me point out that every community has idiots in it.  Idiots that will not like ac for its number, idiots that will never accept that the old swg is dead and the new swg isn't that bad, the idiots that think WoW is a bad game, the idiots that can not seperate life from game, the idiots that are found everywhere and yet we can only relate to them because we have a common interest of computer games, specifically mmorpgs.

Raiding, for some people, is the only thing they look forward to in life.

To the OP, interesting claim although I do not think i can agree with it.  AOC is a success, population wise.  The game has received good reviews from many gaming sites and it is still in it's infancy.  I know there is a growing trend for in-game advertisements, however that does not warrant a successful game to go f2p.  Also, to the OP, i am curious how you rate games if you say that age of conan is a good game, but not a good mmorpg.  I guess you are taking the criteria for what makes a good single player game and using it to rate age of conan.    

There isn't anything wrong with that method, it just has limited range on covering all the aspects when rating the single player genre vs. the mmorpg genre. 

to the post about oil: Europe pays double what the US pays for gas.  Oil is so cheap in other parts of the world because they consume so much less of it.  Oil is a commodity.  The higher the demand, the higher the price. 

The reason why I pre-ordered the CE was because of my love for mmorpgs.  More than one occasion I and my friends have truly loved a game so much that we wished we had bought the collector's edition for that particular game. 

I think WAR is going to be one of the those games for me and instead of wishing I had pre-ordered the CE, im going to go ahead and drop the $80 on it.

CPU-The Q6600 (quad-core) has received great reviews all across the board for its price and performance. 

Not many games are able to utilize it yet, but that is beginning to change with the release of games like "Sins of a solar empire," and "Crisis".  Really, quad-core CPUs is the new directions that computers will take and it doesn't hurt to get a head start.

At life.  You fail at life.

lol @ all the people who hated on the staff writer...

umm if you knew anything about warhammer you would know its in strict closed beta testing

and if you knew anythig about beta testing you would know....THINGS are NOT final, good god noobs

I know how many chars we can make per server right now, you really think thats just gunna stay that way? Well they will prolly tweak it, and no I aint gunna give out the numbers.

 

 

 Congratulations on using the full word "you" instead of  "u" though really.  I can see that you're really trying hard and that earns you some points.  Almost everything about your post screamed "u noobs! lrn2fnplay" but you bit the bullet and spent those extra milliseconds to spell out the word you properly.  *Standing Ovation*

Thats funny how Sober is attacking 420.  Anyways, 420, the vast majority of us know its in closed Beta, however that doesn't mean that all details about WAR are still kept from the public.  Look at crafting which was recently just explained in the past WAR newsletter and was previously withheld knowledge from the public.  Anyways my point is....you fail.

I think Xenogias broke it down nicely about how the game's zones and instances will work.

I'd like to mention that the city siege's will also be instanced once they meet the player cap (that cap is unknown but i remember hearing its something around 40). 

The launch will be crazy and filled to the brim with people fighting over npcs and mobs, but that will be exciting as well.  C.E. owners really have a big advantage with the head start.

Khrymson that is an awesome sig.  I like the armor set of the dude 2nd to last on the left side.

oh

It's a trap!

Eve is cool but come on.  COME ON!

They cant merger servers.  Dead horse is still dead.

the game is full of bugs, but apart, AOC is awesome.

 

you dont like it?? well...

Tell me what's awesome. Is it useless guild cities? Is it extremely repetitive quests? Is it lack of a PVP system? Is it the zoning/instances created for xbox360? Is it the lack of content? Is it the amazing dx10 graphics? Is it the single player/guild wars style story line? Is it the customer support? Is it the class unbalances? Or how about this, is it the over simplified gameplay mechanics aimed to look cool for young teens*?

*this game is clearly aimed for the fun xbox360 crowd. If I wanted to see boobs, I'd click to my website.

 

Skamper you need to stop acting like an idiot and get it through your head that the game was just released to the general public and all mmorpgs (maybe mmos in general) have issues during their launch.  Are you new to this genre?

To the OP,

You should not rate a game just from it's open beta. 

There, I beat the thread.

I heard the new AMD quad-core processor has a bug that causes computers to crash.

I personally am looking at upgrading to a Q6600  <B:)

To the OP,

Naxx isn't where Arthas resides and will not be the dungeon you fight him in. 

The new badge gear, while kick ass, is not ass good as the newest pvp/pve gear attainable.

First off, im not trying to hate on SWG at all, past and present form.  I simple just want to know what made star wars galaxies such a great came back in the day before the CU and NGE.  I played the trial for 2 weeks a couple of months after it was released but i didn't get a good feel for the game.  So please, explain to me what the old SWG was like.

This thread sucked from the beginning.
