DESCRIPTION
Players step back to a simpler, darker, more brutal age as they take the online roles of wild warriors and dark wizards in Hyborian Adventures. The persistent-world role-playing game is based on the books by Robert E. Howard and is set in Hyboria, under the rule Conan, King of Aquilonia. Unlike nearly all mainstream MMO games before it, Age of Conan is rated "M" by the ESRB, and preserves the grim content, unflinching style, and graphic tone of the Conan novels and films.
Aside from its rugged setting, Age of Conan is distinguished from other online role-playing games by its fast-paced combat system, in which players have opportunity to direct each swing and thrust of their characters' weapons. Level progression expands character customization options, with hundreds of new attacks, combos, and spells becoming available. Away from the battlegrounds, the game's crafting system allows characters to create a range of objects and items used in the game, from weapons and armor to buildings and businesses. ~ T.J.

“By far, this game is my favorite of all the games I have played in the last five years. I built a high-end computer just so I could push this game to the limits, and it is well worth it. Yes, this game did not live up to its initial hype, but then again most games do not. WoW was riddled with issues when it started, and Aion had 4-6 hour queues. My issue with AoC in the beginning was getting ganked by players with nothing better to do. I never quite understood treating an MMORPG as a first-person shooter trying to kill everyone else on the planets surface, especially those obviously weaker than you. A year later and there is a ton of new content for all levels. I still get ambushed and killed every now and then, but that is a fact of life in any game. There are lots of people running around on various missions, so the servers are NOT empty. The GMs and Asura Helpers are top notch, and, if you are polite, they are very helpful. Guilds have grown and propered. The music is still OUTSTANDING. The involved fighting skills is a nice touch. The villains and enemies AI can be very evil to you if you do not use your head in some cases. The avatar rendering is the best I have seen in any game that I have played; It is very realistic for a game. The DirectX 10 upgrades/enhancements are jaw-droppingly wonderful; I grade heavily on the graphics beauty of a game. I am a fan of the Conan Lore, by both Robert E. Howard and others that have tried to fill his shoes in the intervening years; this game makes me feel like I am immersed in the world that Howard and others have developed over the years. I am also looking forward to the Khitai expansion; I hope its scope exceeds the original version. The stories and images of the expansion that have already been shared have greatly stimulated my interest.”
