age of conan

it does, but you have to buy the game. the first month is free. there's no free download, yet.

[Warrior]

a simple "no" would of sufficed

Wrath of the Lich King. Age of Conan will be a distant memory by then.

What does WoTLK have that AoC doesn't already?

about 9.5 million people

Yeah, disregard the fact that that's spread out across the entire world. Content wise however it has nothing.

Ah, okay.  Well, at least I wouldn't have to blow an extra $15 just to find out if I like it.  I think I might pick it up later today, but I don't think I'll be able to install it for a few weeks.  I'm stuck in a hotel until the house I'm renting for the summer is ready to move into.

On a side note, can you dl WoW/BC from like a torrent or something and use it to install the game?  I left my disks at home.

Does AoC have a free trial like WoW does?  I'd really like to give it a try, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to pay for a month of access I won't use if I end up not liking it.

^ this

I wasn't terribly excited about AoC comming out like many were so I'm going to wait for a free trial before I decide whether or not to sink money into it. Games don't usually offer the free trial right away, so I figure by the time they do most of the major bugs will be fixed (hopefully)

Heh, yeah, that's a good point.  I kind of get the impression that the bugs are really going to bog down the enjoyment of the game.  Still, though, it's what, like $50?  I'll spend that to try it out.  If it doesn't work out, I think I'll probably do WoW.

and that somehow downplays that figure? who cares how you spin it?
Are you going to deny that World of Warcraft's massive playerbase wont be a factor in it's upcoming expansion? Need I remind you Burning Crusade sold 2.4million copies in 24 hours.

Content wise, no MMO holds a candle to World of Warcraft -- especially in PvE raiding. I watched PvE videos in Age of Conan, it seemed like a cheap imitation and did not fit well with the game.

Sorry, but from what I saw in the Wrath leaked Alpha -- we are in very very good hands. Age of Conan will have it's place, it just won't be number one.
There's been many MMOs who were supposed to be the end of WoW (Fury, Lord of the Rings Online, the upcoming Warhammer, etc) and none with maybe the exception of WAR will turn into anything.

I played previous MMOs by the Age of Conan developers, Anarchy Online was absolute crap. It had good ideas, but the execution was piss poor.

ps you're wrong

just to prove how wrong you are I did a survey:

(5:13:00 PM) Warrior: so WOTLK.. great expansion or greatest expansion
(5:13:10 PM) Medon (WoW): greatest.

100% of the people I asked agree with me. 0% agree with you.


edit: I drew you a chart, from now on I will refer to this chart as statistical evidence:

So I picked it up earlier today.  Like I said, though, I don't think I'll have a chance to try it out for a little while.
