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.
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.
