Lords of Death Forums Lords of Death Forums LoD General Discussion Upcoming MMO Roundup

There hasn't really been anything amazing out in the last 3-4 years, but in the next 6 months to a year, there's gonna be a couple MMOs that look like they might be worth a shit.
Warhammer
pros
existing fan base and name recognition guarantees a nice player base
supposed to have at least some focus on PVP
classes look cool
graphics look decent
cons
looks kinda like WOW, graphically and in terms of game mechanics
I want to play it the least out of the next gen MMOs because there doesn't seem to be much here that we haven't seen before
Age of Conan
pros
the screenshots I've seen so far look amazing
FPS-like combat, have to aim your swings, target your arrows/spells with a reticle, etc
it's set in a gritty environment full of pillaging and head chopping gore
cons
has some weird kind of leveling up system where it's single player until lvl 10-20
niche game that will only appeal to a limited player base
Pirates of the Burning Sea
pros
you can be a fucking pirate
you have your own fucking pirate ship
you can blow other asshole pirates out of the water and steal their booty
you can design your own pirate flags and ships and shit
cons
the plans for the PVP system change on a weekly basis
possible vaporware
Tabula Raza
pros
made by Lord British
has laser guns, pewpew
cons
made by Lord British
has laser guns, pewpew
Darkfall
pros
everything that would be kickass in an MMO
cons
not a real game

Warhammer
People beta testing it that I know say it sucks complete balls. No rewards for PvP whatsoever, but it can be done at early levels. WoW clone.
Age of Conan
No idea. I heard it's single player until 20, instances, and pvp arenas. Sounds boring.
Pirates of the Burning Sea
Playing it right now. Not vapor. Plays just like Sid Miers. There is looting and ship capture, but the PvP zones are few. Maybe with a packed server there would be LOTS of pvp action, but in beta there are maybe 2-3 people in pvp zones at all time. Since you can just sail in and out of pvp zones, everyone is pveing and it's dead.
Tabula Raza
No PvP, lazer guns <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Darkfall
I'm playing this right now while your mom is giving me a handjob. Well only one of those is true.
Don't worry snarf. Inside sources say Darkfall in two weeks <img src="/~stretch/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

share pls

u can have drunken brawls where you do more damage the more drunk you are and can take more damage, but less likely to hit

Warhammer:
Everyone who is testing says its WoW2.
Age of Conan:
Shit loot rules, carebear.
Pirates:
Ask Rainman
TB:
Richard Garrot is making a carebear game.
Darkfall:
The type of Game LoD will awake to play.
In the mean time I think Fury is the most promising game in beta and we will probably play that as a guild.

never heard of Fury.. sounds like some Korean hunk o poo

its like guildwars...

ya I was just looking at their website.. looks exactly like Guild Wars
although the different kinds of arenas look cooler than GW

O RLY??
