Newbie | Aion vs Age of Conan Aion and Age of Conan are two next generation MMORPG's wich will be coming out sometime during this year hopefully. While Aion is more of a fantasy world, Age of Conan focuses on the original brute/harsh worlds as decribed in the books, comics etc. So with the launch of both of these highly anticipated mmo's coming closer and closer, i'd thought that it would be a nice idea to start a thread to discuss the pro's and con's. Have you heard of either of these games? What do you think of them? Do you like/dislike theyre concept and why so? Is there anything specific that appeals to you?

![]() Credits: 17,085 | Re: Aion vs Age of Conan I've been following Age of Conan for quite a while now, and while I've not quite decided if I'll be jumping on board with it, it has me very impressed. Not only are the graphics very perty(DirectX 10 at work here), but the fact that it is going for a more mature tone is awesome. We need more variety in the genre, and I think this is one way it can differentiate itself from WoW(Let's be honest, every MMO has to differentiate from this mammoth to garner any attention at all, because it will always be used as a measuring stick for comparison). Another thing that Hyborian Adventures has going for it is the rather neat player city building concept, which should be very interesting to see in motion. I haven't heard a lot about Aion, except that it is using the CryEngine 2 that was used to make Crysis. Coming from NCsoft though, it should be pretty good, although it currently isn't on my radar. Are there any distinguishing features about it?

If you'd like to know more i'd suggest watching a bunch of trailers of both games at something like gametrailers or simply googling a bit. Last edited by Remagine; Apr 04, 2008 at 12:59 PM. | |

I don't deny the fact that so many people have been looking for a new MMO to play other than WoW, but Age of Conan isn't it. I'm sure AoC will have loyalists, but it will be a bust just like every MMO in recent years. WoW is actually fun, and other companies shouldn't so much differentiate themselves from WoW, rather than try to get ides from it. WoW isn't perfect, but there's a reason for 10 million subscribers. I'm actually more excited for Aion than AoC. Though I'll just let a friend of mine waste his money on the game and then try it out at his house. You could also make the argument that the Warhammer MMO coming out soon might be the real killer. | |

Sry i promised my friend Remagine to kill the person who suggests Warhammer MMO, can't be helped sry! *chops of head in conan style* :P No but seriosly, its about Aion and AoC here so please stick with it =) Although i understand warhammer will come at the same time i think it actually looks dull in all the screenies from the game. I'm not a fan of it tho... Omg im talking about it now... shame on me! *chops head* Aion is more of the fantasy world we dream of, both nightmares and good dreams. Tho if it lives up to all this hype that's another question . I can say that Conan and Aion will prob recive equal amount of players at a start rly, then ppl will notice and make changes etc to what they find more intresting.. who knows they might steal from eachother. I'd rather see the game Aion taken to the next level than Conan, since Conan is more fantasy enviormentally realistic, and Aion the unrealistic dream world. The actual Lore in Aion is incredibly solid too. Read for yourselves go go wikipediaaa...Cheers! | |

If theres enough intrest among the forum members ill alter the topic a bit to include warhammer, personally i think that game is overhyped tho. Having people look into and form an oppinion of its opponents might broaden theyre perspective a bit. | |

...it's fun, I swear! Quote:
I'm not expecting much out of Warhammer personally. It will probably appeal to Warhammer fans, but given the subscription fee, I think most other people will look elsewhere. I'm reading the overview on Mythic's website, but it doesn't sound like anything particularly new, or outstanding. Realm vs Realm alone might not be worth the price of admission, and it certainly sounds like it's the big feature they are touting for the game. So I'm actually liking the look of Aion now, on a side note. Although with University coming up, mayhaps I won't be able to fund a new MMO addiction. Curses be to ye, subscription fees! Maybe I'll have to hold out for Guild Wars 2....
