Age of Conan

Who\'s gonna play it next month?


I know I am. Been waitin\' foreeeeeveeeeeer.

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

nope, don\'t play online games. I prefer single player or goin to lan parties.

I\'ll be playing it if the reviews aren\'t shit. Went back to WoW but it gets so boring so fast and LOTRO is pretty much WoW but with better graphics and slower gameplay.

At least Conan has a unique combat system (aside from the talent trees). I\'m personally still waiting for Warhammer but my intrest is slipping with each delay.

i just canceled my warcraft account last night. im sure ill go back and try the expansion but for right now im just done with WOW.

I canceled my WoW account last month and haven\'t had the urge to go back.  After 2+ years what more is there to do?  Raid?  Did that and will never do it again.  PvP?  Did that and it got boring.   I am not impressed by the so called lore of WoW so I couldn\'t care less about seeing "end game".

On the other hand I have been really engrossed in LOTRO.  Got my hunter up to 50 and just leveled my Guardian to 35 and I have to say I am really loving it.  I also love the outfit system, which makes everyone look different.  Got so tired of everyone looking the same in WoW at end game.  The lore in LOTRO is keeping me hooked since I loved the books.  Mines of Moria is due out this fall and that should keep me going for a long time.  I have also found the player base in LOTRO to be much better than the one in WoW.  

I am interested in AOC just for the fact it looks different that the other MMO\'s out there that have basically a turn based fighting system.  Don\'t know if it will be enough to lure me away from LOTRO since Turbine is very good about free content updates (something which Blizzard really sucks at) and other than the first Conan movie, nothing really grabs me regarding the topic.

Lord of the Rings huh?


I played the beta but never bought the game... I liked it, was just on the WOW kick then.

I personally hated LotrO. Found the gameplay immensly slow and the pvp was a joke. Highest I got was a burglar to 37 and a guardian to 35. Hated being forced to group with people who were never on the same quest with me. I also played late at night which didn\'t help.

I will say, the way the story line is presented in the game is the best i\'ve seen in an MMO. The graphics I thought were great on the models and the areas aswell. Rivendell at 1920x1200 is a sight to behold. As giga said it was also nice to not have everyone in the game looking exactly alike.

I\'m huge into PvP tho. Thats my main enjoyment out of MMO\'s and then I enjoy PvE secondary and with Lotro\'s lackluster PvP system it just wasn\'t my thing.

I would really love to try Conan, but I already have my heart set on playing Warhammer. I pretty much use WoW as a glorified messaging service, i\'ve just met a lot of really great people in that game, and I think it would be silly to have 3 mmo games. Honestly tho I don\'t know if i\'ll be able to hold out till Warhammer and may have to try Conan anyways.

That is really the only thing I am having withdrawals from - PvP and LOTRO as Joker said has really none to speak of.  

I am taking a second look at AoC, but man I don\'t want to pay for two MMO\'s at the same time.  I like to PvE, but I also miss PvP.  WoW\'s PvP has become really stale and not knowing what the devs are going to do to your class next update is a joke.  

I love the DX10 graphics in LOTRO and Conan looks stunning too from screenshots... I hate the temptation.

I use to be excited for Conan, like two years ago. As of now, my only online addiction is TF2.

Well, if any of you jerks get the game let me know. We might as well play on the same server.

Luke I bought the game today, haven\'t installed it yet. Drop me a line about what server your playing on.

I won\'t do a full on PvP server cause from what I read its every man for himself and I don\'t want to learn an entire new game while getting ganked every 2 seconds.

I just got it too and I\'ll be installing it tonight after I get home from work.


I\'m with you on the pvp servers, I learned my lesson with WOW.

As soon as I\'m up and running ill send you a PM with what server I\'m on.


Any one else get it today?

I\'ve been reading up on this game, and it actually sounds pretty damn awesome. I think I\'ll be getting it... But hey, if any of you guys want to throw a buddy pass my way, I\'d appreciate it.

Didn\'t even know it was out yet.
Damnit.

Samwise...


Sorry man, I was gonna give my buddypass to jar o pickles. If he doesnt want it its all yours though.

I\'ll let you know.


Anyone who gets the game and wants to play on the same server create a player on the server named "Zug". Thats where I\'ll be. It\'s a pve server so no worries about ganking.
