Age of Conan

Is anyone else as excited about this game as I am? I can't wait til it comes out. It looks like it will be awesome. The combat system is more active then the standard MMO with the player directing the attacks. Also, the whole seige thing and guildvs.guild pvp looks awesome. Hopefully it will be good, then there will actually be another good MMO besides WoW.

Been waiting for this game for a long time... By the sounds of it, its going to bury WoW into the ground. Most likely it will be the best MMO once it comes out.

Cant wait,

in the mean time there are 2 Free MMO's in beta mode which are worth taking a look at:-

Its going to be good!

So far I have tried

EQ2
WoW
Matrix
Dungons & Dragons
Vangaurd
City of Heros + City of Villans
SWG
Guild Wars

Out of all of the above the only one I am still playing is EQ2 nearly 3 years on, it seems to be able to capture a more adult feel to the game than WoW and is more indepth than the others I have mensioned. If Conan can pull of the combat it is boasting then it gets my vote as the whole clicking on boxes thing gets a bit boring nothing like running someone through real time.

Also looking forward to Warhammer online

I love MMO's. dont really know whats so addicting about them but whatever it is, its strong. In all my yeras of gaming, i've never enjoyed myself in any game as i do mindlessly grinding on mobs whilst chatting to clan members in vent. Even when i'm not playing i stay logged in vent all day. MMO's>all other games. Infact after playing Knight Online for over 2.5 years its unbelievably hard to let go.(Best ever PvP MMO) .... and i cant enjoy any other game as much.

I agree, MMO's rule, but sometimes it just gets to be too much of the same. That's why I quit WoW and many other MMO's. The grinding just gets to be too much at some point. I'm excited about Age of Conan because it also puts a much grittier feel into the game. Also, the guild cities and strongholds look awesome. It's crazy that you can just lay seige to an opposing guilds stronghold. The PvP in this game looks like it will be pretty damn good with that stuff.

It's just like other MMO's, except instead of just clicking to attack you hit one of 6(I think) buttons to direct your attacks. It just makes it more active. For ranged weapons the player actually has to aim themselves, and release the arrow on command. And for magic, they have this spellweaving system where you can combine spells to mix their effects and achieve greater effects.
