I'm in this dilemma. I played the closed pvp beta from gamespot and got my key for the fileplanet open beta but I wasn't for lack of a better term "WoW'd" when I played through some of the game. Dont get me wrong there are fresh things there that enticed me, mostly the blood and combat but if AoC fails then that means a new WoW expansion at the holidays would get anyone's MMO fix in. Anyone else thinking the same

While I haven't played this conan game, I have played various other MMO's - LOTRO, EQ2, SWG... ect. etc. WoW will ALWAYS be king of the MMO world IMO. Nothing tops it.

Until wow comes crashing down i dont think much will beat it since any person with a computer can pretty much run it. While other MMO's require some decent hardware

I don't forsee a lot of people leaving wow for AoC its not a similar enough game. People maybe more inclined to leave for warhammer in the fall

Probably, I havnt played WoW in ages. but I loved the Undead Campaign ect so WOTLK provides a decent "Nerdgasm" :lol:.

PvP beta for Age of Conan was quite trashy, the PvE wasnt bad for 1-5 though , im in the FP beta now on may 1st for my final judgement, otherwise its WOTLK.

I'm not even bothering with Warhammer online , pure WoW clone with PvP focus, more than likely an overall shallow game in terms of options and gameplay, and wont be near as fleshed out. ( Yea yea Warhammer fanboys, I dont care about how WoW *Stole* Warhammer's story" ... nobody should, Blizzard makes better games, thats simple fact.

It's very unlikely that I will ever return to WoW, no matter if other games fail or not.

when D&D was coming out people said it would hurt WoW, then WoW hit 8 million accounts; when LOTRO was coming out everyone said it would be competition for WoW and WoW hit 10 million accounts. People will post how AoC will kill WoW, then how Warhammer will be the WoW killer, then how "fill in the blank" will be the WoW killer yet WoW will still grow. I know a lot of people don't care for it on these boards or hate the fact it's so popular but give blizzard props for making a very fun game that anyone can play. I wish more game companies would focus on game play then graphics.

*yes I know the number of accounts are marketing gimmicks but I'm using them to show the games popularity keeps rising.

WoW is like "home" for me. Even if there is a good game out there, WoW will be where my fondest memories are. If I do love Conan, chances are I will still return to WoW at a later time.

Ive enjoyed LOTRO and even Tabula Rasa, but never for more than 3 months.

I will enjoy playing through AoC. When the game gets dull, Ill stop playing. Just as I have with WoW and Lotro. I dont usually go back to any of them, I simply await the next one.

Im not sure, Wow was the first mmo in the world that had everyone's attention, dont get me wrong Wow in its early stages wasnt a fully completed game and this will be the same for Aoc,patches over time will fix/balance the game, though id really like to give Aoc a chance. Im not sure how Aoc will fail, it got quite afew awards from E3 etc. The game sounds promising, we'll just have to wait and see.

I haven't played AoC but if its anything like Funcom's other MMO, Anarchy Online at launch+4 years WoW has nothing to be worried about.

In general, WoW has nothing to worry about in any near future. Warhammer Online will do some damage, being from the guys who made DAOC - i.e. very, very fun PvP.

In the end though, WoW has a choke-hold on the MMO market. LOTRO stands in its shadow delivering solid gameplay (virtually WoW-type, but with grown up graphics - more enticing storyline for me too)

Do I care about any of it? No. I invested 5 years in EQ - watched the investment plummet when better games came out - did the same for WoW til Burning Crusade came out.

The fact is for me that I don't have the time to raid with people from Kentucky for 5 hours drinking coke and chatting about pixels in game.

I'm more than happy playing a few games on PC, and mainly gaming on my Xbox 360 which offers contrite, rich gaming sessions with little to no downtime. Win/win.

^^ nice post ^^ I will however not disagree with a persons 5 hour experience. Fact of the matter is there are different types of gaming and when you've got those long summer months its nice to be lazy one night a week and play a game that takes 4 hours but in the end offers something more.

Why do people refer to games as if they are living things? WoW doesn't have a choke hold on the MMO marker, Blizzard do. WoW doesn't have anything to worry about, because it can't, Blizzard might however.

I might try age of conan because it looked pretty good in the video I saw, but Warhammer just looked plain terrible. As for WoW, I don't play as often now as I used to, obviously when you've played for as long as it's been out, but I don't see myself missing WoTLK for any other MMO.

Dont think ill ever go to WOW, unless one of my close friends decides to try it for a few months, then i might jump back on.

It was fun for awhile, but i preffer Ultima Online ot be honest.

Ill be picking up conan when it drops!

Well as stated before, what do you mean by fails. Do you mean it fails in the number of people that buy it, the details of the graphics, or something such as pvp. I don't think its going to fail in the sense that people wont buy it and i wont have 5 million people playing it. I mean lord of the rings does not have as many people playing it as wow does, but its not a failure. I think whats going to happen is people will play Age of Conan, and find its not the cup of tea they want. And if i find that AoC does not do it for me, then i will return to WoW, until i find something that better grabs my interest.

I can definately say I won't be going back to WoW. I've tried going back twice now and still can't get into it any more. I'm just hoping that AoC turns out to be worth it. I've already pre-ordered the C.E. of the game and gotten into the Fileplanet open beta. If I'm not impressed during the beta I'll just cancel my pre-order.

A failure is a very gray area. If I don't like the game, I still have Asheron's Call and LOTRO. I'm really looking forward to Darkfall Online. That is my dream game.

I just don't think AoC will have what it takes to keep people playing. Especially paying to play..
