I played WoW a tiny bit and Galaxies for quite some time, and WoW didn't impress. You can't build houses or cities, you can't have huge Player-Vs-Player battles in designated areas (as far as I know), like you can in Galaxies, and the stats system is the boring old Level system where you get abilities regardless of what you actually do - as opposed to Galaxies, which had an ingenious level system where your actions actually affected what you grew better at (no more of that "Yay, I've been whacking these lvl1 creatures for hours, finally I've leveled up! This has taught me to cast fireballs!" bs that plagues most RPGs and MMORPGs).

As a WoW player, I can attest to your player city complaint, but it's probably not implemented for good reason. For instance, the world is simply not big enough for a player city, where as AoC and SWG both have huge worlds with plenty of space for player cities, WoW's zones are more compressed for easier traversing, something that from my experience, SWG lacks.

As for SWGs leveling system, didn't they change it to the normal Hack 'n Slash after the NGE patch?

No clue. I quit Galaxies when they added Jedi.

Re: Age of Conan

Because the mature content Age of Conan (or a Stalker MMORPG) is one of the few MMORPGs i am interested in.
Most MMORPGs don't interest me, because i have only limited time to game, and the games are less grimm & gritty and more bright & shiny.

The limited time means what quest should be short, and you don't have to play 24/7 to level up.
The grim and gritty looks seems to be where, (Norwegian ? wink ) what's a pro.

Any Demo for Age of Conan out yet ?

Jedi were in from the very begining, just took 9 months or so for someone to finaly unlock their slot.

Re: Age of Conan

Safe I already opened a topic for Age of Conan lol:
http://forums.fsmod.com/viewtopic.php?id=7599

Anyhoo, I'm waiting til my buddy at GameStop can get it for me at a slight discount. I've been waiting for it since I heard about the endgame features.

Any idea what the "buddy card" things do?
