Please tell me why you think the other one is better ...

Warhammer because it looks to me AOC is shutting down unless they get bailed out by there goverment.

AOC has a better combat system. better raids, the game visually looks more appealing and a more mature community. There are still flaws in AOC but they are actually fixing them. I cancelled WAR, resubbed back to AOC and haven't been disappointed thus far.

LOTRO is by far a better MMO than both.

this thread will go down in flames...

that being said. 

AoC has better graphics, and a different combat system, but I can't say the community is any more mature other then what their retail box tries to sell you.  Its been out longer and has had more time for them to work on it in a production environment.  Funcom, lied and cheated its customers out of much of the content too... which is....... bad

WAR is faster paced, has 10 times more content, and has unique classing and questing.  Its still early and hasn't been out half as long as AoC but already Mythic has proven to go above and beyond anything Funcom could ever muster.  Its still got some fixes that need to be implemented, but with the constant patches that so far.. have not made the game worse I think that speaks volumes for the future of this game.

Although it comes down to personal opinion --- Warhammer wins for me hands down.

WAR>AOC

owned/played both

AOC has better graphics, I wont say that it has a better combat system.

WAR has better gameplay and pvp imo.

I don't agree; I have a lifetime sub to LotRO, I like it a lot, but I'm playing WAR.

LotRO is way better in the graphics department - at least in the environments (the characters in LotRO are nowhere near as detailed as WAR's, the armour tends to looked sprayed on, especially at the lower levels) - WAR sits somewhere between WoW & LotRO, graphically.

...but LotRO can feel cold; I know it needs to stick to the Lore but it needs a humour injection, it just doesn't feel as much 'fun' to me.

I was never even tempted to Conan.

I don't think you can say one of these games is the best. I just think it's all about what you like best. The only objectif thing you can say about these games are graphics, sound, content,... But at the end it's still the gamer who makes the decision.

But that still isn't a real question to your answer... So if I had to make a choice I think I would go for WAR, it just looks more exciting and I also think WAR will have a better community since this isn't the first game in the Warhammer franchise.

I played both and i choose WAR. One of he best MMO launch ever. And i am sure you must have heard about AOC launch? given the time WAR will fix whatever little issues it has and will only get better with time.

played both as well, and while I enjoyed the first 40 levels of AoC, the rest of the game was missing so much content that it quickly went to my list of mmo's that failed.

WAR is delivering on all fronts for me, and the way they are improving the game so quickly and listening to the player base is a breath of fresh air.

So, for me, WAR is the better game.
