AoC - a new very promising MMO (releases within a few weeks)Follow

Agreed, purely advertising.

I'm a bit tired of your presence, and you've only made two posts.

And why is that?

You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

Read some previews. The game has potential. It has a lot of unique ideas. Finally, it is being produced by FunCom, who have been running AO for the past 6 years.

When you say "compared with WoW," do you mean in terms of raw subscription numbers? Because many MMOs have been extremely successful, from both a gameplay perspective and a financial perspective, with playerbases of ~300,000 to 500,000.

Personally, I'm very excited to see if the game lives up to its incredible potential.



Ya. You're right. It is one of the top 200 most visited sites on the internet, and it's trying to bolster traffic spamming a forum ...

Something does need to come along in the near future that gives WoW a good amount of competition. Maybe deflate Blizz a little and more then anything get the fanboys to STFU.



Try Vanguard, the game was dead before it was ever released.

You could a least show a little pride in your work, try a little subtlety, a little style.

My head hurts just thinking about a game like that...

Make a mass effect MMO. That would be full of win.

My comment was based purely on the fact that most MMOs fail. It wasn't meant to be offensive to anyone but the OP, who's AoC trumps all attitude was unfounded and frankly a bit annoying. And yes, I was talking in raw subscription numbers or raw income. Outside Asia WoW is by far the biggest in that regard, and all MMOs since have failed to match that level of success, even though they are financially successful when compared to pre-WoW MMOs and in their own right.



An odd argument for why it will be a success, Jord :P

Unrelated note, I have read previews, checked the talent trees (feat trees, whatever) and a few youtube vidoes of PvP combat maps from a beta player. The game seems very hardcore compared to WoW and that is one of the other reasons I doubt it'll be as successful as WoW. But, anyway, as Douglas Adams said, predicting the future is a mug's game.



So does Darkfall (lol never coming out), although you can teach your character a restrictive job (and unlearn it later) if you want.

When ever a new game comes out there must be a fanboi thumbwar!! Epic were the battles between WoW and FFXI. Tame were the battles with LoTRO. Sad and humorous were those whimpers of Vanguard.

Where will Conan fit in? I'm not sure yet but a freind at work who bought the early release said you can't solo past 20. Which is scary. It would take a whole lot of boobies and blood to get me to want to head to another Valcruum dunes to pull the same goblins to the same camp jus to level up again.


We will see.....

Ohh and reading the OP is like watching a football player talk about his favorite cereal by reading off a teleprompter.

Fanbois never shutup.





You're an idiot.

I'm not, but care to elaborate on why you think that is the case?

3 reasons why AoC will not challenge Wow.

1. Stupidly high requirements, the Vanguard problem. the reason WoW has 8 million players is because the average joe with an average PC can play it on top whack and pretty much could from release.

2. Hideously bad combat system, 6 hours of that and you'll need a visit to the doctors, gore mode will become boring after a week and any lag will stop you being able to effectivly play (see point 1).

3. No mid or long term playability apart from PvP, no PvE raids etc.
