I am not impressed.

The only real MMOG I'm looking forward to is Warhammer Online.

They've just started releasing the new information on new race careers, too.

Dwarves
-Ironbreaker
-Hammerer
-Rune Priest
-Engineer

Greenskins
-Choppa
-Black Orc
-Shaman
-Squig Herder

Empire
-Bright Wizard
-Warrior of the Sun
-Warrior Priest of Sigmar
-Witch Hunter

Chaos
-Magus
-Chosen One
-Zealot
-Marauder

The Marauder looks awesome, according to the enthusiastic video blogs of the designers. Apparently, he's like a warrior whose abilities change on stances, but he changes based on the mutations he selects: claws, tentacles, etc.

I'm intrigued about the fact that players won't be able to just walk through other players in PvP(Hopefully this is just in PvP to prevent abuse) as it will open up a lot of tactical opportunities for supporting your allies.

I am probably the biggest Conan fan on this forum and I still won't play this, haha. Unless, that is, the art stops looking like it was made in Poser and the battle system consists of something other than Anarchy Online with a mouse. Also you can't play as like half the races of Hyboria, what is this shit. The game looks like Savage with terrible models.

Those Vanir curs and Brythunian faggots at FunCom need to be teabagged for the "fixes" they made to Anarchy Online and the "criticially acclaimed" story of Dreamfall or whatever anyway. CAREFUL DAD, THAT'S NOT REZA...

TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT MY ADVENTURE SO PERHAPS WE CAN FUND ANOTHER REDUNDANT SEQUEL

I seem to recall you saying something like that before, then I said something like it's just better to live Conan in real life.

Conan was one of the best protagonists of all time. Heroic? Not really. He was brave only because the villains usually had something he wanted, like treasure or honor or a vagina.

As for the Warhammer video...that'll be tricky to implement world PvP.

I'd have to agree for the most part, but in Beyond the Black River he didn't really have any ulterior motive and was pretty much a hero. He wasn't nearly as heroic as Balthus and the dog though.

quote:
“I came along the road, behind their main force, and I know none followed me from the fort. I sneaked through their lines and got into the town. You brought the settlers through all right, but their women and children got into Velitrium just ahead of those painted devils. If the youth Balthus and old lasher hadn’t held them up awhile, they’d have butchered every woman and child in Conajohara. I passed the place where Balthus and the dog made their last stand. They were lying amid a heap of dead Picts – I counted seven, brained by his axe, or disembowelled by the dog’s fangs, and there were others in the road with arrows sticking in them. Gods, what a fight that must have been.”

“He was a man,” said Conan. “I drink to his shade, and to the shade of the dog, who knew no fear.” He quaffed part of the wine, then emptied the rest upon the floor, with a curious heathen gesture, and smashed the goblet. “The heads of ten Picts shall pay for his, and seven heads for the dog, who was a better warrior than many a man.”

I wish you coulda picked your college as a wizard...I've always preferred Celestial magic. Also...still no information on High Elves!? Dangit, that's what I really wanna know!

The witch hunter looks very much the badass, though.

$50 says the only people playing WO will be stinky, hairy DnD nerds in their mid-20s.

Also, Conan was never meant to be either a "hero" nor a selfish bastard. He has his own set of morals, those which he learned from his tribe. He uses his strength to enforce these on others, haha. Another example of him being neither heroic nor selfish is when he killed the king of Aquilonia, then decided not to expand his empire after he usurped the throne.
