Ok i have finally have to say this but who cares about which mmo is better war or aoc, honestly people will play what they want and they will love it. UNLESS IT SUCKS that goes for both war and aoc, who knows they might both suck and everyone will go back to wow. i just wish u guys would stop fighting in the forums over. Im guilty for fight for war and bashing aoc but in reality, who cares just the hardcore crazy nerd peeps, so if your going to post in this forum make it nice, if u wanna compare games fine, BUT no bashing, i wont have it i want the games compared on fair even ground thats all. Please people only good post not bashing or troll post or i will get them deleted i want this to be info post not which game is better and why i know sounds odd but for you beta peeps list whats great about your game and whats bad or want u wanna see worked on in your game please and after one week i will take everything in the post and make into a one massive compare agaisnt the 2 games. then i will throw a poll up and settle it once and for all. ok peeps post away and keep it fair and about your game only if possable.

Me, I care. I altough I admit its pretty pointless as everyone has their own opinion. its just discussion. Don't act like its real conflict. fans have not alot to do whilst waiting for a game to come out, so they dicuss things.
My blog:
So long as everyone is happy playing a game they enjoy and love... then who cares indeed.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
Imo, the General Discussion section is where the gloves can come off and have those types of discussions. Of course players will play whatever they enjoy, but games do have differing merits. Considering that both AoC and WAR may (big emphasis on may) offer new, or at least refined, mechanics I look forward to the debates.
I tend to ignore the out-and-out bashing. Having said that , I let people off the hook per se if they have a valid argument.
In brief, you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen.

Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.
Sometimes its also self affirming behavior. I just dropped $70 on a game...dammit It better be the best game, cause I dont have money enough to switch.
Torrential: DAOC (Pendragon)
Awned: World of Warcraft (Lothar)
Torren: Warhammer Online (Praag)
Yes, who cares what polished turd will fail?
I don't even have money enough to DROP so you're one step ahead hehe. Good luck mate hope it'll be worth every penny
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
Dude I care, isnt that normal ?
So you are saying we shouldn't care wich game is best. So why don't I go start playing an asian grinder then if we shouldn't care wich game is best!
As long as the competition between the developers leads to making better games, the gamers win. It seems that the launch of WAR and AoC will have a positive effect on WoW (expansion adding some of the features mentioned in the previous games) and EVE (sounds irrelevant but I'm sure ambulation will be introduced before WAR launches).
I believe that both games will be great. Im only playing WAR because im a big fan of Warhammer in general. If WAR fails me then i'll look into AOC.
Played : WOW, LOTRO, COH/COV, EQ2, SWG, and WAR.
Playing EVE Online and AOC.
Wtg for SW:TOR and WOD
They are two very (over)hyped mmos and since most players can only afford in terms of time to play 1 mmo they will want to know which one is better thus you will always get these which is better posts until they both flop or one is succesful and one is not.
I think both will have small dedicated fan bases when they release most likely in terms of Lord of the rings onlines success ie 300-500k or so players each.
I will probably play neither in hopes the SGW is good... I'm tired of fantasy MMOs...
I agree these games for the most part are designed to be attractive to two different type of players. Hopefully they'll both be able to fill what ever gap there is currently for the player base they are designed for. Arguing about which is better is fruitless, as better doesn't mean most enjoyable for all players. Hopefully, both games will be good enough to have a happy player base that the DEVs don't decide to screw with years of nerphs.
The OP is correct except I will never ever go back to WOW.
Cheers!
MMO Vet since AOL Neverwinter Nights circa 1992. My MMO beat up your MMO. =S
Personally, I think Asian grinding mmorpg are like online sweatshops. REALLY uninterested in that kind of thing. BUT there are those who love the grind. Good for them. They do what they like, I'll do what I like.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
I hope both go gold but I'll be playing one
I hope to be playing one of them.
If I were to play one, it would definately be AoC. But I'm going to do my best to just hold out until BioWare reveals their oh so closely guarded holy grail of an MMORPG... and if it turns out to be something I don't care for, I'll either be looking at AoC or Earthrise, which is looking pretty promising.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
I pre-ordered the CE so im going with AoC all the way.
Are you asking if AoC will be better than WAR or are you asking if we should even care?
Well, we should care since its our money. Additionally the more popular a game gets the more of my friends will play, and the more development the game gets to make it better.
For me AoC will be better than WAR for the same reason that I prefer to watch an 18 rated movie over a PG!
Call me simple minded, maybe sick or crude.. but I love adult entertainment and when I get to lop off someones head and see blood squirt everywhere a smile comes on my face that never grows old.
Warhammer does have a very large following, well, it did when I was a kid! at some point I've grown out of it.
So its very possible that the kids out there will make WAR very popular, in a similar way that kids make Wow popular.
But will I move games just because something is more popular?... no, Im no crowd pleaser, I go where I want to.
I'll be playing both so wtf?
This thread sucked from the beginning.
sucked what?????
