AoC in a heartbeat. Sure it isn't anywhere near as good as advertised but at least you can get some enjoyment out of it. If you want another option I advise Russian roulette.

Edit: Poll beat me. Waiting may actually be better than AoC.

Neither. I'm probably going to give WAR a try out of desperation though.

Wait for DF... you'll be glad you did.

You can't really do that more than once a day tho...

You must be pretty old if you're unable to do that.

It's like an MMO, the more time you put into it the more you can manage, anyways do you really want to be the equivalent of a noob at masturbating for life? Go masturbate!

I'm playing WW2 Online right now, it's reasonably fun enough to keep me occupied, I'm also learning how to make games as well so that's taking up plenty of my time anyway, I will NEVER support nor endorse games that don't follow the basic principles of what a game is all about: Fun.

Nope haha I'm 16. I don't like to do it more than once just in case my girlfriend comes over that night.

Wait till DFO and occupy your time with Spore, Force Unleashed and masturbation.

At this point I'd rather masturbate than play ANY of the games that have come out recently.

Find a semi-decent F2P MMORPG. Or just get on Steam and play some AoC/Zombie Master/TF2/CSS.

what's the worse that can happen? me losing 50euro and a couple of hours.

Doesn't fapping get repetitive after a while? It's basically a grind, you know.

I would play WAR over any game atm untill DF. It offers the most pvp, runs good and is a far better game then WOW as its not pve based. AOC is a hudge pos. It runs like total ass. PVP is totally borked and as far from balances as can be and its run by Funcom who has the title next to D&L for releasing the biggest piles of shit and calling them software on the market.

Age of Conan has botting and balancing problems.

World of Warcraft is to dependant on gear, and time, contrary to skill.

Warhammer MAY be worth trying, or if your like me, just wait till DF, that way you will enjoy it more.

You make it sound like you wouldn't masturbate anyway :sly:

Either wait, or try TF2. You can pick it up as a stand alone download and it is easily hundreds of hours of fun. Make sure you have a mic though. A decent mouse would be a good idea too. I am playing on a crappy NX mouse/keyboard combo and it lessens the experience. I want to get one of the Belkin N52(te) and some sort of gaming mouse at some point. I think before making any improvements to the PC, the mouse and keyboard are the most game altering devices.

Flame me but from the options given WoW.

I have played WoW for 3 years and there is one good thing about it. WoW is after 3 years of patching and balancing (well balance druids are still overpowered). It is fun till you hit 70. After few Karazhan runs you will be bored. Problem is that endgame content is 1) boring 2) VERY time consuming (standard raiding guild raids from monday to friday from 6 PM sometimes till 3-4 AM). WoW can deliver loads of fun (especially RPPVP) if you will do some research and choose your server wisely. Best time to start WoW is when new servers show up (starting on old server will deliver alot of pain cause Auction House prices on materials and such are extremely high).

Warhammer is better then either.

Of those two, I'd say WoW. At least it's polished. But in general, I'd just wait, play single player games, smaller multiplayer games, or EVE. Maybe WAR but I don't have anything on which to base a support or opposition of WAR.

Spikey
09-15-2008, 12:15 AM
Neither, but if it's gonna have to be one then it'd have to be WoW.

Better wait for DF. Between those 2 wow is the best choice. Still since warhammer is coming out better play that its better than the other 2.

War Imo!~

IMO, I liked War during the beta test, I kept wanting to compare it to WoW, but really couldn't as I got further into it. I just had to find "my class", ya know the one I love and'll stick with it. I'm really considering on getting it. The gear is fun, partying up, going WAAAAGH WAAAGGGHH as a black orc, nothing beats that, and just being a real obnoxious bastard. I also love zerging.

Also, IMO the PvP, people exaggerate the slowness, because when you get into the thick of it, it doesn't even seem slow, you just build up your combo's release, it's more intuitive than a counter this counter that WoW spamfest. Also, War pvp involves a bit more strategy than just your everyone group up charge one point.

meh i went to order it online, but then i saw that collectors edition gives bonus ingame items.

they try to attract costumers with "special" items and the game hasn't even started yet. well everybody can see where this is going...

If the games class system was similar to TF2 in the sense that it offered up different TACTICAL options then I might agree with you but otherwise because it's stats based it's pretty much just a zerg fest regardless of what you do with it.

Jackhowitzer

It's how you use the zerg that count's, like if your in a scenario, you run up to distract them, while your team runs around to take the objective, I dunno, I guess it is like WoW in the sense that it is a zerg, I guess I'm having withdrawals from the beta lol.

wheres the forum fall option???

id rather plan nothing than wow or aoc...

If you wanna play something play wow instead of aoc or else dont play anything.(there is always one other choice though)

out of all the arguments about aoc sucking, fact is, pvp is fun in aoc. this coming week will fix gems, and sieging. it's by far not the most functional or well structured game, but the classes are mostly well balanced (when not factoring in gems, as per the test server). i wouldn't recommend this game to anyone however, mostly because i know a large amount of people who've never played it before will argue how bad it is. also a large portion of those people look for content as far as pve goes, which aoc literally has none. if you don't like killing people enough for killing people to make the game enjoyable, you won't like it..until this week when patch goes live and pvp rewards go through.

here's a recent vid if you want to see what aoc pvp is like (i suggest clicking on the view in high quality link); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYjA_06xZTs

nothing extremely impressive going on in the vid, just gives you an idea

Just wait until dark fall comes out since they both suck.

play a game that isnt an mmorpg, they are almost all better than the mmos that are out. an FPS game would help you get your twitchiness up for DFO, too.


Call of Duty 4 is really fun online. or Counter Strike. or if you dont want to pay, try Combat Arms (http://combatarms.nexon.net/Intro.aspx)


its exactly like counter strike except the name, you have a persistent character, and you can customize your guy with a bunch of different gear. some is just aesthetic (different hats, gas masks, different uniforms), but you can also use points from kills to get upgraded body armor and new guns, etc.

and you can customize all the guns, like COD4

I call it Theme Hospital, the finest way to pass any free time you might have, and start watching a new series of something, anime or TV show, the time soon disappears.

I just this second finished installing KoToR!
