Age of Conan
Well AoC and WOW had similar budgets prior to release so they should have been similar in release quality but WoW was and I would bet still is many times better than AoC. I'm just comparing both games at their 2 year mark but WoW did much better at polishing to that point and released a great game and two years out it really was "much improved". I played AoC from launched and liked it. Like everyone says graphics, combat, atmosphere, all great. I leveled 3 characters from different backgrounds to level 30 and it was great but then i began to run out of things to do and group quests were nearly impossible as the player base was quite low.
The most annoying thing in the game ( PVP ) now is GM's not doing there jobs, They allow exploits and cant seem to control 3rd party program hax. Mainly I see hacks that hide players true levels so they can gank lowbies without being called a ganker or get killed by the RPers who kill gankers. I also see this so called "God" hacks where players never take any damage. I don't understand how in a so called AAA MMORPG that cost millions of euros to make, how come an instanced siege with a player cap still has exploits and crashes on a regular basis after 18 months of work and an expansion coming out next quarter.
