Let me first say AoC has set the benchmark in the MMO genre.

Oh damn, not the "AOC have set a benchmark" babbling again.

AOC is crap, period.

No need to share your thoughts about the taste of crap, we're not interested.

sounds like to me the OP only just sit and stare at his computer instead of playing either AoC or WAR.

which is ok it is his money.

P.S. AoC 4 life

Wow, your life must suck

Have to agree a bit with this no matter how much Conan was disappointment and that Funcom feels like a scammer. Trying WAR sure made me miss how fun I had in Conan before learning about its limitations. When combos used only two buttons and you ran around in Tortage with alot of content and fun encounters I saw my future with AoC. But I learned as most have and will that the core design and fraudelent company will make it unfixable.

In WAR I just didnt have any feelings of fun. It ran smooth, felt optimized, even balanced the little I tried, but it was just boring. Ok, if you are a RvR enthusiast then it's probably a very fun game, that's not for me though and rest of game seems to be, been there, done that, years ago. I actually got a bit afraid that WAR might attract alot less people than I thought and that it might actually give Funcom subscribers, but hopefully they know to stay away from the fraud AoC is anyway.

In WAR I was able to do 3 different things at lvl 3 (three)

In AoC it's quest/grind/quest/grind/quest/grind/useless crafting/quest/grind rinse and repeat.

Not to mention 95% of your way up to 80 you won't even have to group.

I play rather battlefield then scenarios, I like dungeons more than public quests and some fun to quests will be better then "kill 20 things" bla bla... but I dont like WAR lore I have to say ;)

i played warhammer for the last 6+ months during beta and now the open beta. and it was frankly painful to play. generic, bland, rough animations which felt stiff and adbrupt. the 2 sec cooldowns between every single spell no matter which was a bit annoying, using the same spell over and over for the "builder" was meh. the style of art was kind of intersting though kind of low end similar to wow but definitely higher resolution textures.

there are some aspects interesting such as the TOMe of knowledge alot of the aspects to the game felt like been there did that. PQ"s are nice addition but when u finally realize they are more for accrueing rep points for that given area. only bright side is you do actually get some half decent gear when you hit elite. but once again youd have to do that PQ at least 3-5 times depending on how many quests you did for the area which applies to your "rep standing" so this game seems very heavy rep grinder, for gear. all in all had a very bland feel to it, like i been there before somewhere,....hmmmm i wonder......

AOC although wonderful combat system, combined with tight graphics; the underlying issue  is the lack of content, lack of features promised at launch (some that should ofbeen there but are out due to failcom's incompetence), bugs, performance issues, OOM's, BSOD's.( i myself didnt have of those thankfully,  a few crashes here and there with the occasional shadow bug) but these glaring issues keep AOC from ever truly recovering, and no longer becomes a bastion for anyone who wants to play a MMO.

but, as in any MMO, each have their shining moments. depends on what crap your willing to put up with for $14.99 a month.

truthfull in the end, i had more fun with AOC despite its bugs, than i did with War.

And you will do these same things at lvl 40 over and over and over again.

Conan should have had far more lore than it did. Too bad all it had going for it was graphics and misdirection.
