They've blogged about their Hyborian adventures several times. Heck, they've even started a podcast about Age of Conan in hopes of delivering their ongoing impressions on the game for a long time. Yet Keen and Graev have presented us with their final verdict: they're not going to continue with AoC.
Why should we care, you might ask? Well, while their opinions are certainly their own, Keen and Graev have proven their knowledge of MMOs in the past, and their views are generally appreciated by many players. This latest final verdict of AoC from them is refreshing as it doesn't focus on the same things we've heard about from everyone else, but they're giving us their views on what aspects they didn't enjoy. Not only that, they present this information in a respectable manner. So if you feel you may be all alone in your lack of interest from AoC, take pleasure in knowing you're certainly not alone.

Are you in the WAR beta? I'd say not if you're excusing K&G's rampant fanboism of it.
I've been playing the beta for roughly 10 months, and in that ENTIRE TIME, haven't had as much fun as I did in the last week of Age of Conan. Oh, and I too loved DAoC, and yearned for that experience again. WAR does NOT equal DAoC 2 though, sorry kids - get over it.
Play the game before you pass judgement - and stop listening to the inane ramblings of 16 year old kids who think their opinions mean more than spent square of toilet paper.

All I will say is that making a final judgement on a game with 4-5 months of beta left, you show us your true colors. Your opinion is meaningless in my eyes only because of that.
I'd of loved to see your impression of AOC 4-5 months before release compared to now, I know I thought it was horrible but didn't go running around forums saying so as this is far from the first MMO beta i've played and know how much they can change.
As we all know, complaining about unfinished MMO's on public sites is just as childish as the '16 year old kids' you speak of. Funny actually, I know K+G would never do that, but you did, ironic hey.

So you are comparing a finished product to beta? Of course you'll have more fun with the finished product thats common sense. You won't be able to compare the two until WAR has at least a few months under its belt after release.
Also,
"Wrong, in most states it is illegal to sell video games with an M rating to minors.
Learn the law before you start spouting off about it. Thx."
You said this earlier when the person you were arguing with mentioned nothing about selling but about playing.
Learn to read before you start being an ass. Thx.
