Splitting the Halloween fight

All in all it has been some fairly good gaming. Not that much in each game (except perhaps Guild Wars), but sizeable chunks of fun. Lately the somewhat limited game time I have had has been split between all three MMOs I currently play - City of Villains/Heroes, Guild Wars and Age of Cona...

Opinion: MMOdus Operandi: Age of Conan Player Diary Introduction

Age of Conan is probably the closest anyone will get to a WoW-killer at any point in the next couple of years. There are plenty of MMOs coming out, but few have garnered the attention and hype that Funcom (the company behind Anarchy Online) have with their latest effort - in fact, over a millio...

Opinion: Age of Conan could still be a huge failure!

1) Funcom’s dedication to the game and past history with Anarchy Online Expansion next year? A Conan movie next year? Xbox 360 version? DirectX 10? PvP patch, new zones, new items, etc.? That sounds like an awful lot to handle for a company like Funcom. 4) The combat system

Opinion: Tobold's MMORPG Blog: AoC and the future of story-telling in MMORPGs

I finally had a bit more time to play this weekend, and thus leveled my Age of Conan Herald of Xotl to level 30. I was looking forward to that, because the destiny quest which stopped at level 20 in Tortage continues at level 30. A friend of mine had the problem that his quest journal was full or som...

Opinion: Age Of Conan Impressions

Setting The Scene Combat If you were to take the MMO completely out, those first 20 levels would make an excellent, if somewhat short single-player RPG. That's really the highest praise you can give an MMO. I would buy a single player game that played like this.

Opinion: pΘtshΘt: Age of Conan Closed Beta Impressions– Part III

I did both single player instance (Tortage night) and multiplayer instance (Tortage day) quests. I didn’t do any PvP minigames having tried them in the stress tests which was enough for me. I liked the idea of the destiny quest and ultimately how well it was executed in single player RPG fash...

Opinion: Tobold's MMORPG Blog: Age of Conan announces 250 hours to level cap average

Via Massively I got the news that leveling a character from 1 to 80 in Age of Conan will take 250 hours on average. For comparison the orignal Everquest was considered to take about 2,000 hour to reach the level cap, and the average number of hours to reach level 60 in World of Warcraft when it ca...

Opinion: pΘtshΘt: Age of Conan Closed Beta Impressions– Part I

Combat The vaunted combat system is a welcome departure from typical Diku MUD autoattack combat but not without its limitations. Attacks are left, middle, right (1,2,3 keys). You don’t swing, you don’t attack. As you progress, characters learn combos that are special attacks you can init...
