Age of Conan MMORPG!

I downloaded the free trial from FilePlanet. I was very sceptical due to all I read about the launch and how bad the game was. Well, I have been reading a lot of positive reviews about the new state of the game, and hearing of more changes and improvements coming soon. So, I decided since there is a trial, I will try it out.

Amazing, that's what I have to say about it. It looks better, runs smoother, and out performes Warhammer. I have not got to the PVP portion of the game yet, but the PVE is outstanding. You can solo most of it, but if you will group up you can do the same content on a harder setting and get better rewards. Yes, it is an instanced game, but for 2 reasons. 1, the graphics are great, best in an MMORPG. 2, you can choose between easy and hard for your zones, which are huge. Now once you choose your difficulty, all other players on that difficulty are in the same place you are. The only time you are in your own instance is the night game. At the inn you can choose night game, which takes you to an instance that is...wait for it...based at night. You then do night quests solo, because night time is progression quests that are meant to be solo content. You then can go back to day time for multiplayer and harder challenges.

There is much more I coult type about, like the awesome combat, doesn't feal like an average mmo, you have to fight and do combos. The community is unbeleivable, mostly adults, helpful, mature, fun.

If you want to know more, check the AOC forums here, the AOC website, or I found a lot of information at www.mmorpg.com (please don't lock the thread for that, it is serious good forum for it). Or better yet, head over to www.fileplanet.com and download the trial, and you get some awesome free in game items. Oh, and the game only costs $20.00, then 14.99 a month. A good deal even if you only play for 1 month. How many $50 games have you only played for a couple weeks?

Come play AOC!!!!!

I thought I read somewhere that it was going to shut down completely because of a massive decrease in subscriptions...

Enjoy Age of Conan While it Lasts. the Newbie Island may very well be one of the better MMO Experiences out there. However once thats all said and done and your level 20 you will begin to see why so many people dropped the MMO after a couple months.

I reached level 68 or so I cant remember now, the game just had no content high end and from what I understand a lot of it is still broken to this day.

They had a good thing going with Conan, Its just too bad they were forced to release the game a year early. I still say to people that if they would have been given another year it might have had the chance to tear it up in subscriptions, but it really has failed because of the lack of support and content.

What bothered me the most about the way it was handled was how Funcom did it. They kept begging for patience on the content. months went by with no information or content. Why should we be asked to be patient on content on something were already paying for? So many of us at the high end tier god fed up of paying and having 0 to do. none of the raid content was functional.

As stated already, it is fun for the first few weeks you will play, then it goes downhill really fast when you notice that everything interesting in the game is on low level content 1-20. No more main quest after that but your typical generic mmo quests until the max level. PvP in this game got to be one of the most frustrating experience i ever had, granted it was at launch but i doubt they really changed the mechanics of it to the point it became a new game. Basically you stun and one or two shot with big combos.

GG-raaaaiiiiiii

Sounds like the OP still hasnt left the starting area. Thats the only time that you have the day/night thing. Wait till you leave there...that was a big eyeopener for most players at launch.

That being said, its the first mmo I levelled to endgame, I had a lot of fun with it.

i did a thread about 2 days ago about age of conan. and ive been playing since the first day it come out.

for the people saying that he still havent left tortage (noobie island) and past lvl 20 is lame and nothing to do STOP TALKING ON THE INTERNET AND GIVE IT AN OTHER TRY.

all what hes saying is true the game did awsome improvment, lots of updates, bugs fixs, memory erros and performance issues all fix new leveling zones and lots of quest added witch meens no more grinding

new raids and group intances

wing 3 (raids) is open

2 new pvp zones

pvp reasource

and i can go on

o well continue thinking what your thinking but your missing out on a amazing game
