Conan - Go watch the latest set of gameplay videos on IGN
God that looks good
Guilds can build their own cities and then you can attack these with siege weapons etc
Mounts look amazing, graphics look stunning and looks like it has some great concepts
Little question on how the combat works being user done rather then key press button spell functions etc and how that plays in terms of Raiding, can see pvp being very cool that way though.
Warhammer is shaping up to be insanely massive from every aspect, just a huge game from the start and they are cramming everything in that you would have wanted in wow.
Ive been playing MMOs for years now and pretty much seen them all at one time or another but Age of Conan is looking fantastic, Ill definitely be subscribing at launch. Its never going to be a World of Warcraft beater but I think they acknowledge that and are aiming at a definite niche in the market. If they stick to that niche theyll do well I think.
Both they and Warhammer are going for a slightly different market, Many are cheesed off with the childish nature and less guild based or combat effecting the world based elements of wow now and with both these games being 18+ / mature they are after the more adult mmo player and the warhammer is defiantly going for the hardcore gamer.
Warhammer is heading to 1million beta applicants which will be more then wow had so the appeal is there but for me this looks to massive your real life would be effectivly over on that one.
Conan becuase of its real time combat can not have 4-5 hour raids, you would but your hands and is not designed that way so should be a good mature combat game with interesting and more fully featured guild based elements you can play with a little more time leway.
