“I deleted my credit card from my Funcom account (because I wanted to change to a prepaid card) but that didn't stop them for charging a 1 year subscription to it anyway. When I complained they told me to piss off. I love the game but Funcom is an untrustworthy company that won't get one cent from me in the future. My only satisfaction is to tell everyone i know ... repeatedly!”

“If you're a fan of Conan lore like I am, you'll love this game. I collected the "Savage Sword of Conan" back in the day, read most of the novel line, played the pen & paper RPG's, and of course love the movies.

I can't brag that I was a player from the onset, as I was 7 years deep in SWG at the time, but when I heard about the free trail, I couldn't help myself, I just had to try it.

I knew I was getting myself into a new addiction when I heard the music kick in. That voice was just haunting, and then I was pulled into Tortage. What an experience, form the first dialog, I was drawn by the beauty of the game, the music and story.... this was it... this was Conan!!. The tone and setting was just right, Howard couldn't have wrote it better himself. (I actually quit SWG that same night and joined AOC)

That entire noob hub of Tortage was perfectly built! Lots to do and see, easy learning curve, great side stories, and it does what a beginners hub should do... prepares you perfectly for rest of the game experience.

I now have had a chance to play every character, mind you not all level 80's, and there is still tons of missions and instances for me to do. But I'm hooked, every story just draws me in, and seeing characters from the Conan lore is just awesome... I'm hooked, and won't be going anywhere.

It will soon be a year for me, and the only negative thing I can say about the game is the result of something recent (This is the reason for the 4 out of 5 stars).

Since the latest Dreamworld Integration (March 2011) it doesn't seem to play nice with ATI cards. The game is till vary playable, still looks and plays great, but while in ATI crossfire, there are some annoying texture glitches (for me at least). I'm sure they will be addressed soon and in no way impacts my gaming.

That 5th star will be back once the minor details with ATI are worked out :P”
