Excuse me, your nerd is showing.

It pwns WoW's face. I've played both and would rather play AoC then wow. WoW is entirely gear based and the only real PvP you can do is in a battle ground.

Age of Conan lacks end game content at the moment. There are a few raids/dungeons but its not like a grind like WoW. The whole game has storylines and are not aimless quests for better gear.

Guilds can build guild cities, and each player can do every gathering profession. Gather stone, metals, wood, etc. As well as 2 main professions, Alch, Architect, etc. Unlike WoW where you pick 2 things and thats it.

Age of conan's combat system just makes WoW look silly, especially if you really want to play the game. Each swing is a stroke on the keyboard. Your person does not attack unless you tell it to attack and you control each swing of your blade. You can also block, unlike wow's automatic combat system. Set it and forget it! Auto attack!

Its just a more mature, well thought out game. Takes a beast of a PC to play really but its really a good game. Leveling in Conan is so much more fun the WoW.

Sounds Interesting. BTW, how did the pc go that you built? Is it rocking?

[Cichlid-Man]

PC is doing great.

So since this was brought up i must say, my views on the game have changed. As you level it gets more and more troublesome. Funcom (the maker) refuses to put any content in for higher levels and fix countless bugs. We'll see how the next few months go but so far end game is not looking good for this game.

[Sticky Fish]

I heard that the game looks fantastic? Is there many players? (Sry for my nerd) I watched a tv show one night where they said they were expanding the content. This was only a few months ago though. You should check out Mass Effect. Its an RPG and actually pretty fun. It would look real nice on your system.

Hmm, buzz keeps going around about a certian Star ship based MMO . If it ever does you all will have to go to the far side of the Delta Quadrant to see Capt. Orion again. lol

WOW just never seemed that interesting to me, but this Conan game does sound sorta neat. I just don't think I could ever sit down and play that much on a weekly basis, even if it does put my on the bridge.

[Sticky Fish]

The rumors seem to be true.

[Cichlid-Man]

Conan has the concepts down, but they arn't applying them like they could. A lot of empty promises going around.

Its a decent game, not terrible....but it could be SO much better. I guess we'll have to wait and see....rome wasn't built in a day. Neither was WoW.

[Orion]

I've got high hopes, but not expecting much for ST: Online. With so much stuff being thrown around as to how things are going to work, then the entire project getting dumped, then picked back up by a different company.... yesh. I feel there's a lot of empty promises going around on this one too, but I don't think anyone has actually got the nerve to promise anything yet.

That's the good thing about PC games. Patches!
