It looks like age of conan will use the same engine. Will AOC be supported by ISX__ and IS? Does anyone know?

Doubtful from me ...I think that the whole concept of the game is dumb as shit. Conan has lame lore and nothing about any of the books or movies makes me want to play in that world at all.

Moreover, the trailers look stupid and basically the same ole, same ole.

Haha, how do you REALLY feel amadeus! I am looking for a new game to "play". Just looking at the horizon of new games.

Stargate worlds is also based upon the same engine as Vanguard -- I'm much more interested in looking at that game.

Also, I have gotten access to Warhammer beta and will be looking through that game to see how difficult it will be to create an extension.

Seeing more of the videos and reading a bit on the game I might have to check AoC out. Anyone heard of a macro'ing system for it?

Amadeus, you still planning on skipping this one?

Age of Conan's Lore may be dumb as shit, but I have to hand it to them. The game is Awsome! ... If your into killing shit. ;)
Open Beta ended last night.

Unfortunately, all the games are pretty much the same thing and lore only takes you so far. If you're not killing rats, you're killing something equally easy at the low levels and just as hard at the higher levels.

The one promising thing about AoC is the unparalleled combat system. Unlike EVERY single game out there, you aren't just mashing buttons in an abstract combat system.... you're actually watching the screen, adjusting your combat style and using some degree of skill.

But... this style isn't for everyone.

Has anyone seen any information on a scripting system that can support Age Of Conan? Does not seem like InnerSpace is going to so I have been looking for other options.

Amadeus!

Amadeus, I am willing to toss a few hundred $$ into the pool for a AoC ISX. I know a few hundred is nothing what a skilled programmer is worth. If you need an account I can provide one of those too. I am not sure if this one will have legs but it would be pretty killer to have a tool for radar if nothing else.

A wise man once said ... "Put up or shut-up" :yea:

We'll see how popular the game is in 6 months and if anyone else has done anything for it that is as good or better than what I could do.

I have no motivation for logging into the game ....I find everything about Conan utterly boring and all of the things people are ranting about seem like the same old shit over and over again with prettier pictures.

PvP games attract people with which I have no interest in hanging around. Even in EVE, the whole pvp thing makes me want to smack people ...everyone throwing their dicks around trying to show how big they are compared to everyone else. I think that anyone that gets ANY sort of enjoyment out of killing someone else (even virtually) needs to seek help. In fun, arena type stuff, sure ...and even 1st person shooters ....but, a game like an MMO where you spend TONS of time developing a character and building your shit ...and then for someone to ENJOY killing you and all your hard work? I don't want to have any part of it.

So, we'll see ....maybe I do it some day for the money ...but it won't be any time soon. If the game is as good as you say, then someone over at ISXWOW will do it I'm sure. Personally, I'd rather wait for Star Gate Worlds ..or ANYTHING that is different from the same fantasy role playing games that have been out forever.

Go play EQ2 again if you want a good game with a good isx extension. I just played two characters from 1-80 recently and REALLY enjoyed it. It's a much better game than it used to be ...and there are still tons of shit to do. There is a lot of life left in EQ2 ...enough so that I am not interested in taking time away from playing it to play another game.
