To clarify, if/when you take breaks from AoC or even switching back and forth. As stressful as my time has been playing this game - what with the bugs, the let downs, the bad management - I cannot seem to find any game that comes close to being as good as this. This game has suffered much but there is no denying that it's one of the best MMOs there has ever been. The combat is revolutionary, the graphics are amazing (and still at the top as far as MMOs), it isn't high fantasy (no orcs, elves, dwarves, frilly graphics, over-use of fantasy) and all of these contribute so much to this game.
When I take my necessary breaks from Conan, I would like to find a game with all of these factors to move to. Too many new MMOs I find are cutesy, WoW-like cartoon graphics that I don't find at all attractive after experiencing AoC, not to mention the weird races they come up with that kind of kill the immersion for me. I've found AoC to have a perfect balance between fantasy and realistic-historical fiction.
I see MMOs attempting to follow in Conan's revolutionary-combat footsteps, but the creator has done it best, it appears. At least it's a step in the right direction. Just waiting for one that can add something worth sticking with.
So my question stands: what have you found in terms of MMOs that have been worthy after having experienced AoC?
