I think it looks pretty good. MMOs are always the best near the beginning when there are the fewest exploiters, gold spammers, and the experience is new for everyone.

It does look very promissing but i don't seem to feel like mmo's much right now, rather go out biking.

I have no problems with waiting.. Longer you wait the more clear the newbie zones will be, more stable game and maybe some added content and probably lower priced at the store so i will probably go to this in the fall.

What if Age of Conan ends up flopping as bad as Vanguard. What would come to the MMO genre?

Yeah I can't wait till they launch the early access servers. I have doubts about the pvp from the pvp weekend but I will still give it a go.

I was going to buy it for the PvP. But I've heard that Funcom is going to put a bunch of weird restrictions and apparantly there's not going to be any consequences from death. So if that's the case, I won't be buying it.

I heard performance on most systems was poor and that the class were very poorly balanced. In any case, I quit WoW and it's going to take a really good MMO to get me paying to waste my time grinding again.

Not a chance. Funcom has learned from their AO launch. And AoC has 600k pre-orders.

What kind of server is everyone playing on? Still can't decide between PVP or PVE. I'm leaning towards main on PVE and alt on PVP. Then I gotta find a guild since it's lookin' like mercenaries won't play a huge, if any, factor at all :(

downloading the early access client right now, 14gb with limited option ftl lol, 2 days dowload

Anyway, this game is gonna be great. If you like mmo, darker settings, and great gameplay youll love this game.

Not at all like vanguard btw, cant even compare both launches (Id know, i played vanguard for a couple months too)

Anarchy Online successful? Did you know that the original plan was for the game to have only a pay-to-play version but because of one of the most horrible launches in history of MMOs, they had to change that.

Already preordered and downloaded/installed the early access client. Just waiting for the 17th now so that I can get into the game. Had a great deal of fun during the open beta, and found all of the classes I tried to be enjoyable. I'm just hoping that the PVP server rulesets are set up with a bit of intelligence, as the PVP weekend at the end of beta was far too chaotic.

Wow, what a mess this early access has been. Theyve nopw said its "sold-out", so anyone with a preorder code that still hasnt entered will not get in early. Glad I got in, but I feel for those who didnt.

From what I have read about this game, it looks to be nothing short of amazing. I really hope it does do well and be a competitor against WoW.

Personally though, chances are next to zero for a sale. I just don't play MMOs.

1) Subscription fees.

2) Time consuming.

Were you only in Tortage? The beginning of the game is highly instanced, because its somewhat of a single player portion of the game. I think it opens up more later, from what Ive read.

And how will you judge that? By subs? Then obviously yes, WoW wins.

If we go by gameplay features, graphics and lore...then AoC has already won. :)

I can't wait for this game to come out. I am one of those people who likes those kind of games, but doesn't get the system you need for it until it comes out. I was a system type person until I realized "Hey, these computers aren't that expensive". I guess I will get AoC that I pre-ordered it, but I need the computer. I have all the money required for the recommended computer requirements on SRL, but I just can't find a good computer/laptop that has 3GHZ and all the other stuff. Most of the computers I find are probably 2GHZ, but 4G of Memory/Ram.

I really want to try this game. I have left WoW and I wanted a more graphical game, so I hope this game will deliver. If it doesn't, then I guess there are no other MMO's for me to try. I just know that this game will be good. If not, I am spending $1,500 to just have a computer for normal stuff and not games :x

My vote is that I will buy it.

If the reviews are any good there might be a small chance that I'll pick it up to hold me over till Warhammer, but then again probably not.

careful, that was just the beta.

People always hope for that magic build/patch that will be the fix all when the game goes live. The state of the beta now is going to mirror the live retail game (Hellgate London comes to mind). The game isn't up to my standards especially when you have to pay monthly to play an unfinished game. I know most games nowadays go retail being unfinished but why do we as consumers settle for this? Funcom made huge promises that the game would include certain things and they have been cutting them out little by little until the game doesn't resemble what they had envisioned. All I have to say to people that are eager and hyping this game is BUYER BEWARE.

To compare this to HG:L is a little much. That game is fundamentally broken. Conan CAN be fixed, from what I've played. The core of the game is solid. The siege PvP and battlekeeps are still intact and they can become very fun. The lore of Conan is still there. The combat is fun for me, the cl asses are interesting, and the production values are there.

While I don't disagree that it could use a few more months, I do still think the game is playable and will be a fun ride.

Where is the "No, MMORPG's=No life" option? I found I just can't play them anymore, they take too much time away from real life, way too much time.

I like the fact that a game takes a long time to go through, and, in the case of a MMO such as AoC, I will probelly get my moneys worth. Even if its a period of 1 month to 10 years.
