Age of Conan: Yay or Nay?

I played UO and WoW for quite some time in their day, as well as a few months of Guild Wars.

I have been thinking about buying some WoW time and playing again, but it's like an alcoholic having a glass of red wine with dinner. It won't end well.

I want to know if AoC is worth my money instead. I have heard about plenty of technical issues, but how much do they detract from the game? If it is good enough that I play for about three months, or about what the game itself costs, I won't consider it a waste of money.

I'd like to hear from some longtime MMO players whether the technical issues are really horrible or not. I put up with UO at launch for almost a year, for some frame of reference.

In its current state, nay. Wait a while.RK-Mara

That's kind of what I figure. Maybe they will drop prices or offer deals if the game starts hurting and they need my money. I don't want to pay for it if it's super-buggy and unbalanced.

I'll say "Yay". My love for it has dwindled, but to be honest I've never been too keen on MMORPGs. I think I might switch out my subscription for World War 2 Online. GodLovesDead

Funny, I am subscribed to both WWII Online and AoC. I can't stop playing either.

Well I just recently got a job so now I can likely afford both though I doubt I have the time. I figured I was the only WW2 online gamer on GS.

I played it for a few days...then stopped. "Herrick," you ask. "Why did you stop?". "Well mang," Herrick replied, "The combat system wasn't what I thought it would be."

Mind you, this is coming from someone who is not a fan of MMORPGs, so my opinion doesn't hold much Heineken. I may try it again one day.

Age of Conan is only good for te first 20 lvls then it sucks, also its still in the Beta

Game is 50 dollars right?

It cost 15 dollars a month to play. You get the first month included with that 50 dollar price tag.

50-15=35

What about that 35 dollars? I mean you wouldn't even be able to play it if it didn't at least come with the first month paid up for. So therefore you are overpaying if you buy it at that price.

Its a mistake I'll never make again.

Age of Conan was "Yay" for the first month or so, then it became "Nay" in my book. I don't know why, but it just hasn't got the same type of repetitive gameplay as WoW has.

Shame, that game had so much potential..

Well I'm lvl 43 in it and so far it's been a very fun experience but maybe you should wait a couple of months. There's still some issues that need to be fixed and the lvl 60+ range of the game gets to a grindfest (or so I've heard).

There is supposed to be a huge update coming pretty soon that adds new outdoor regions, quests and what not.

YAY, o hell YAY lol

I was hyped for this game for a couple years, played beta, early access then got collectors edition

So its fair to say im a fanboy of it :P

Bloody combat sytem, amazing classes, M rating (keeps the 12 year olds away), great graphics, fun gameplay.

It is my favorite MMO and imo the best MMO (yes, even better than the almight WoW) imo.

Personally I'd say Nay.

I bought it at launch and though the gamew as in a pretty good state at launch (for an MMO .. quite a few bugs, but playable and fun). However the game actually seem to have degenerated with most patches instead improving. I'm at the point now where I cant play the game relaiblely for more than 30 min to an hour before something causes a crash. In addition, I felt that once I got past the initial 'learning the game' period, it just didnt feel all that interesting.

My account is still open but to be honest I've pretty much stopped playing and will probably cancel my subsription soon

Yay until you reach 50 level, then you can stop your subscription and wait for new content. this is what i did at leastSamiRDuran

At lvl50 the game begins man.

If grinding the same repeatable quests again and again is your picture of the game.

Lvl 67 here and I only had to do a Villa run once so far.

After playing AoC, i think WoW is better, so i quit the game.

Nay, lvl 58, Nay, Nay, and Nay - may seem like something new and kind of cool for a week, but if you truly look at the game, it'll a definate Nay

I quit the game in the high 20's. My class was Conqueror. The game looks nice, but its boring and nobody is friendly in it. Your better off making friends on xbox live (seriously)

The worst parts for me was the travelling bore me to death, and the gameplay mechanics of having to click each time to attack, I prefer auto attack games, with special attacks only needing to be activated. The lag made each swing just hell.
