The combat system. It's not senseless button mashing. Its not SUPER fast paced, Timed LEARNED combos. If your SMART you can compensate for the lack of charactor level. This gives me a stiffy.
My reason: A mature themed MMO with great graphics and innovative combat systems. Oh yeah, not to mention the Conan universe - Howard's writing kicks ass!
Originally posted by Tibbz #1 reason why you want to play Age of Conan; no detailed explainations just short n sweet.
My reason: Gore, sex and druken brawlin (the things MMOs have been crying for)
Neocron's had that for YEARS Also includes barfights, sewer escapes, big guns and religious fanatics. Top it off with mutants, mech cops and flying vehicles and, well, conan just ain't got nothing
Played so far: 9Dragons, AO, AC, AC2, CoX, DAoC, DF, DnL, DR, DDO, Ent, EvE, EQ, EQ2, FoMK, FFO, Fury, GW, HG:L, HZ, L1, L2, M59, MU, NC1, NC2, PS, PT, R:O, RF:O, RYL, Ryzom, SL, SB, SW:G, TR, TCoS, MX:O, UO, VG, WAR, WoW... It all sucked.
2. American Character and developed by europeans the way it should be ( american politicans like violence over sex)

I know Conan will be difficult at first or maybe a little differant and i will have grippes but in the end i know i will enjoy this game over the long haul and love it.
Unlike alot of us here.. the bare breasts isn't what gets me into the game.
Its Barbarianism that gets me going. I'm tired of all these fantasy MMOs that revolve around a perfect little world, that revolves around a perfect little war..
I want to be a Barbarian.. a savage in a video game. Run around with a giant axe and severe the limbs from my opponents.. then head off to the tavern and spend the evening with good friends.. have a drink or two... maul some more enemies in unarmed.. drunken combat.. and then head back out after i sober up for some more dismemberment and slaughter.. all so i can be called a savage!

lol. seriously though. It seems this game is going to have everything I will enjoy in a MMORPG; player cities, good crafting system. Good pvp system.
Human evolution and advancement has never been measured in terms of our ability to grapple one-on-one with bears.
Because it's the only one doing ANYTHING different with combat.

My #1 reason is no more "whack a mole" as a healer! About 'effin time!!

what stands out to me is the gore and the combat. i really like the attitude of the game visuals, setting, etc .
Great graphics and a really cool combat system.
Graphics yes - but ore than that I want something different than the scripted bubblegum MMOs that WoW and LotRO represent.

Yeah the mature rating only makes me want this game more...
Sadly, all 10 year old idiots, whose Parents are also Idiots and buy them the Game will say the same thing.
To me, the #1 reason would be gameplay, but from what I've seen so far, I doubt it will be able to fulfill the high hopes.
I'll just stay clear until I'm sure that I am wrong with my asumption, that AoC will have the worst and most immature Community ever.
It's hard to pick the #1 reason really, but the guild content is something i look forward too. Siege battles,guild citys etc.
#1 Mature rating
#2 Innovative combat system
#3 to 4897565 not a complete WoW clone (LOTRO,WAR)....
my hats off to this fanboy post.
