What do you think will go off as the winner?
Comments
Im not biased ... lemme tell you why
I like AoC for its unique combat style, I REALLY love the combat system and all, I also like the theme - the roman kinda stuff... But what I DONT like is the barbarian stuff in it, and the CONAN theme... Also I do not like the nudity and that crap, not cuz im "too young" or anything....
Then I like WAR for its PvP system and the Warhammer IP....
I like TCoS.... well... dunno really, its a nice concept...
Well a lot of people seems to be looking forward to Warhammer Online.
You missed one... sad to say... I think WOW will still have the most subs in 2008.
The other 3 are good games, I'll probably end up trying them all but in the end if any break 1M subs I'll be (pleasantly) surprised.
So I guess for the number 2 slot... I'll pick my favorite WAR....

WAR will win if we're talking most subs because its watered down to the MAX for newbies: auto attack, classes, levels, no ganking, no griefing, no stealth, glowing NPCs, and they will escourt ya to next area too i read
none of the above.
I'm waiting for Hero's Journey or Aion.
none of them. even they all are surely going to be awsome! I think most ppl are going to Aion . (I presume that you are talking about what new generation MMOgames that will get the highest amound of players
)
..............
Despite the fact that TCoS is the best game.... so i voted TCoS.
I personally think that Conan is not going to cut it.
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
WAR by far. Conan, Spellborn, and even Aion will be niche products in NA. Now Aion will destroy the rest of the competition in the EAST in my opinion.

I still think WAR and AoC is just a box full of hot air with all the false promises the developers are making. I think quality wise Spellborn will be better because of the commitment of the company behind it and it has the development time behind it. It also revamps the 1 thing I hate about most mmos, the boring combat.
How is WAR a bunch of false promises? They seem to have THE MOST open development cycle I have ever seen for a video game. They are putting out massive amounts of information on the game and are sticking to their guns about the game. Plus they aren't trying to rush it out the door.

I just don't see it. I will probably give it a try, since I give every MMO a try. But I just don't see any appeal to Spellborn.

WAR will have the most subscribers, but that does not mean it will be a better game.
AoC will be a better game, and hopefull it will not gather the 13 year old WoW subscribers like WAR will.
And no, the AOC and WAR Devs haven't made any false promises because the games aren't out yet, so pack your bags and go home mate.
Btw I picked WAR because it has the most interesting IP of all three.
Probably not Spellborn.

Seeing appeals is for the crystal globe. You'll have to try the open beta.
Isn't it a bit early to make these threads? Kind of sounds like the talk of the possibility my NE Patriots going undefeated. Even though there's a chance even I admit it's only week 6 and there's a lot more football to go.....
IN 2008 aoc and warhammer hit the scene and both games have poor launch numbers due the overwhelming girth of players absorbed into Tabula Rasa
Pirates!
(PotBS).
Warhammer will be big but I am most looking forward to Spellborn. The fact that AoC needed more funding and delays do not give me a good feeling about it. WAR was delayed but they have a lot of money and no problem doing that.
Tabula Rasa?!?
Ha!
All I am going to say about that.

I'm actually looking forward to PotBS, and that isn't on the list.

Saying something isn't the same as showing something. Its just hype. They definetly look to be rushing it out of the door. They have only spent half the development time and cost on what a game they are depicting will take, yet they are pushing for a 2008 release. I have seen many of these overhyped pieces of crap rushed out the door and when release happens... I will be more then happy to retract my statement when WAR actually delivers what its promising, until then its an overhyped box of hot air that hasn't spent the time or money to deliver what its promising.
From my viewpoint they're combat system is yawntastic and yet they want to compete in an action paced pvp environment. When you get passed the PVP there is nothing left to this game. However, on PVP AoC, The Chronicles of Spellborn, and Granado Espada surpass this game simply because they are working on the combat system. WAR is using an old generation combat system that really doesn't get the adrenaline boiling or promote tactics other gang up for the victory.
Personally, I look forward to the Chronicles of Spellborn the most, because it's a shooter.
I LOVE SHOOTERS
However, it's not really anything big.
A lot of younger players will be put off by Age of Conan's M rating.
So I think that Warhammer Online will be the winner. I don't think that it will be a WoW killer, or anything close to that, but it'll attract lots of people.

The notion that graphics, or anything else for that matter, are anywhere near as important as gameplay/fun is so utterly ridiculous that anyone who shares such a view should be placed in an asylum.
Better game? Either WAR or Aion
