 Mediocre at best. July 31, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Age of Conan (AoC), had my expectations rather high. First of all, I am not a hardened MMORPG player but someone who enjoys a variety of games. At first AoC looked great and sounded like a fresh take on the MMORPG genre. Before I go farther my PC is a dedicated gaming rig that should handle anything thrown at it, so my PC wasn't at fault.
Pros:
A less cartoon-like MMORPG. Nice environments. An actual combat system that requires timing and attention. Large variety of classes to play. Simple interface to change instances to play with your friends. Pretty good voice acting and music.
Cons:
First thing I noticed when I registered is that they decided not to give out he free 7-day pass for one friend. Although they advertised it, they decided not to provide it. The single player portion, has a good story but no real role-playing decisions involved. It is pretty simple and relatively mindless, after a while you just skip all dialog because it doesn't help. After you cook of all of the water it is just boils down to another basic hoarding game where all you do is go get something and comeback. The combat system although different, becomes boring after doing the same thing a thousand times. Lack of game moderators to fix problems like being stuck in scenery is really irritating. For a monthly fee they should at least be able to rig a script to get a player unstuck if you aren't even going to moderate the game. Very buggy game, one day I had to restart the game several times due to server problems. This would not be so bad if it was just on occasion, but it plagues everyone I game with.
Conclusion:
Overall, the game just isn't fun. I really wanted to enjoy the game, but it isn't worth the initial price or the monthly fee or the time lost.
AoC = Fail
 Age of poor customer service July 30, 2008

In game moderators banning people left and right in game for utilizing terrain to defeat mobs. Forum Mods banning and deleting any post that is critical of their game flame or not. In game issues like falling through the world and your petition for help spans for days without response. No directx10 what so ever. System spec to run game are wrong on the box. Very poor support for 32 bit systems.No responses to emails to their supposed service desk and the list goes on and on. Do your self a favor and pass on this game. The 50$ you save will be better spent in your fuel tank.
 Moe's review July 27, 2008
If you have an older PC plan on buying another one to play this. Oh and the $14.00 a month to play it online. Other than that I like it I played it on my friends PC on his game. I hav'nt played mine yet for I'm saving up for that new PC. I'm a big Conan fan from the first comic book I bought. This game dose not disapoint me. The extra stuff you get from this collectors edition is great for a collector and gamer. However don't wast your money if your just a gamer. Plus it takes up a lot of room.
 Amazing game July 10, 2008

This game is amazing, can't belive it doesn't get more stars. LOL to all you guys that never have played an MMO game before and give this game one star. It's normal to have alot of bugges/problems in the start of a game this big. Have you all forgot how it was to play WOW in the beginning?
It was ALOT of buggs and downtime.
Just give them a some time, the potensial i so big.
This game is the best MMO that has been released for a long long time, maybe the best ever. I can strongly recomend it:)

I would just like to start off, this is a great game. It is way fun to play and i have play a lot of MMO's. The only thing i kinda bothers me is everything in the game seems just a bit too steril everything is just too clean cut, but once again great game i like playing it
