Opinion: Hyborian Spoken Here: Age of Conan - Defensive, On Message or Right?

14 Oct 2009 08:19:27 PDT

This is a really tough situation right now for Craig, with updates being few and far between for Age of Conan, layoffs, subs seeming to disappear (based on visual acuity as well as sources like Xfire).

01 Oct 2009 09:18:35 PDT

With the announced layoffs, it seems that the forums have started to fill up at the community site for AoC with discussion of where Funcom is headed with Age of Conan. Several posts really speak out for how everyone is feeling both in the community and in the game as well...

Opinion: MMOdus Operandi: Warhammer Online - the next big thing?

27 Sep 2008 12:25:03 PDT

Finally, onto the combat itself. From what I’ve read, the game’s combat is somewhat slower than in other MMOs, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’d have to play it myself become I commented more on it, but don’t expect to be see casters being killed in two seconds flat like they can be in o...

Opinion: MMOdus Operandi: Age of Conan Player Diary Introduction

27 Sep 2008 12:25:03 PDT

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: MMORPG - MMOCrunch - World of Warcraft: The Steak Just Walked Out

17 Sep 2008 08:31:16 PDT

While I wish Gaute the best of luck in his new career - and speculation on where that will be will only cause fear in the collective MMO community - I think it’s safe to say that MMO’s probably aren’t your forte. That might be a bit harsh, but for those keeping count, that’s 0/2 for Mr. Godager - Ana...

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

27 Aug 2008 18:20:50 PDT

Written by ferv0r
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

Age of Conan In-Depth Review

23 Jun 2008 02:01:47 PDT

Written by Nicod3mus
Overall - Age of Conan may be the first 3rd generation MMORPG to get the model right. Many have come and many have failed. I have never had this much fun in the earliest stages of any MMORPG and if the PVP and siege mechanics turn out to be as good as everyone thinks they will be Age of Conan: Hybordi...

Age of Conan Review

Written by Shayalyn
When Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures hit store shelves, there was a flurry by many MMOG gamers to pick up a copy and begin their journeys through the dark and bloody lands. For the past few weeks, Ten Ton Hammer's Cody "Micajah" Bye has been traversing those same hills and dales of Funcom's...

Tobold's MMORPG Blog: Best AoC review evah!

16 Jun 2008 22:16:36 PDT

Of course he is writing about the Herald of Xotl, the class I played too. Scott says: "Age of Conan clearly has staked out a niche: people who like burning things. My suspicion is that this may be a fairly large niche." And my problem with AoC is probably that setting virtual people on fire only am...

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

16 Jun 2008 04:16:50 PDT

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...

You won’t need to wait for an expansion pack to explore exciting new areas. In the next period, Funcom will include several new areas, as well as evolving already existing areas. This includes a brand new dungeon in Aquilonia, reshaping three dungeons in Stygia, and an entire mountain rang...

MMORPG - MMOCrunch - World of Warcraft: Age of Conan Review: Lev 1-20 Demonologist

04 Jun 2008 18:32:49 PDT

As many of you know I was in the AoC beta where I only managed to get to lev 15 or so with my barbarian, but since last Thursday, when I finally managed to get a copy of the game, I’ve been battling it out in Hyborian and currently have a lev 20 Demonologist. So I thought I’d give you guys my thoughts o...

Opinion: Age Of Conan Impressions

21 May 2008 14:00:00 PDT

Written by Mike Fahey
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.

14 May 2008 04:20:18 PDT

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

14 May 2008 02:47:59 PDT

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...

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...

Opinion: Tobold's MMORPG Blog: Share your impressions of Age of Conan beta

07 May 2008 01:15:30 PDT

What I did like in Age of Conan are the destiny quests in the single-player part of the game. For my first character, a Tempest of Set, they were not very class specific, I just had to kill stuff. But for my Barbarian, which is a rogue sub-class, I had several sneaking quests. The destiny quests ar...

MMORPG - MMOCrunch - World of Warcraft: CrunchPreview: Age of Conan, The Necromancer…

05 May 2008 15:59:17 PDT

As many MMO gamers already know, Age of Conan is boasting a new combat system unlike any other MMORPG out there. It is fast paced, action-oriented, and near-useless to the mage classes of the game. So where does that leave all the struggling magic-seekers during the beginnings of the game? P...

I will play some Age of Conan. Preferably in the free form of an open beta, but if that shouldn't be available, I'll buy the box and play for the free month. But if a reader hadn't asked me to, I wouldn't even have written about the game before playing it. Age of Conan isn't really the game I've been w...
