Age of Conan

What is Age of Conan:
(from Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures)

Quote:
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a massively-multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) based on the world and works of acclaimed author Robert E. Howard. In Age of Conan, players enter Hyboria with thousands of their friends and enemies to live, fight, and explore the dark and brutal world of King Conan.

Age of Conan's features include:
  • An advanced combat system lets you choose every cut, thrust, and swing in real time.
  • Groundbreaking graphics plunge you into a world of
  • breathtaking beauty.
  • A massive fantasy world based on over 75 years of books, movies, art, and music, developed in close collaboration with Conan Inc. to ensure the most realistic Conan experience ever seen.
  • An unprecedented character development and customization system with combo attacks, skills, special abilities, and deadly spells ensures no two characters are exactly the same.
  • Massive Player Versus Player combat. Capture battlekeeps and wage epic warfare between players and guilds, or hire yourself out as a mercenary and battle for pay!
  • New and exotic classes, such as the Demonologist, Herald of Xotli, and Dark Templar, along with incredible twists on classics like the Ranger and Assassin.
  • A detailed and engrossing crafting system, allowing you to make everything from armor and weapons to an entire city!
  • Hundreds of unique quests for combat and crafting with extensive NPC interaction and voice acting, immersing you in the living world of King Conan.
  • An extensive story-driven single player adventure to start the game drawing you deep into the scheming, seduction, intrigue, and betrayal of Hyboria.

Age of Conan is consistently mentioned as one of the most anticipated PC games in development. It has received close to twenty magazine covers and more than fifteen awards, including numerous Best MMO of E3 awards and the official Best Online Game of Show award at the GC convention 2007. Age of Conan is a key title in Microsoft's Games for Windows line-up, as well as a showcase title for nVidia.
Here are some screenshots:

This game has been out for about a year now. No big hit really, but the things I do love about this game are all the details that's been put into it. Some stuff does not look like low poly models at all, which makes me wonder... You reckon that is one of the main reasons why this game require so much of your system to run smooth? Don't know If the screenshots provided reveal enough for people to answer me on this, but what do you think? :P

It is absolutely amazing until you reach lvl 80 (no content except doing raids and instances over and over again) or swap to a PvP server (classes are so unbalanced). I do recommend those who like MMORPGs to try it tho, although there's a lot of improvements that needs to be done to the game.

I think the combat was more enjoyable that WoW, but for some reason I found myself in large empty lands when I played the 30 day trail. Couldn't find many people around.

This is kinda old news but this offer combined with other recent ones over the past few months has given the game a healthy boost. It's doing much better than Warhammer atm imo.

I play Conan, and it's great. It is more interesting when your level gets high and gets ranked.

It's very difficult to predict the market of any game, especially MMO's, but I wager that if AoC can keep up their improvements, then they may eventually reach 1 Mill.

Honestly, it feels like someone sitting on a property list of all the games out there and started to cut and paste. They did a good job of looking for what people liked it, but a terrible job for its implementation. I hope that having the topless women make up the game is broken.Good task is to destroy another great collection of great fantasy Funcom.You tell this game was rushed to start making money at the expense of the patience of the people. Expect to pay when they work in this disaster. He spent more time in beta and corrected before release.

However, they'll always have the blemishes from their initial record with them, something WoW doesn't suffer from, they've been good pretty much all the way through.
