I have played Age of Conan a while now, it is very addicting and surely the PvP is a lot better than most MMORPG I`ve tried. Both graphics and audio is great. But there is lots of reasons to stay clear of this game, the higher lvl you get the more bugs you will discover. I`ve played a lot of MMORPG, but never have I encountered a game with this many bugs. The In-Game support is also terrible. One of the dozens of bugs made havoc in the guild ranking system so I lost leadership in the guild. I was told by GM that I had to wait at least 30 days before they could fix the issue. Even though I explained the situation. They could still not fix it. If u like bugs, non-functional customer support, and incorrect Conan lore. Then buy this game. It is simply not worth it. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BUGGED MMORPG EVER CREATED. (And they hardly ever fix the bugs either)

Age of Conan - Hyborian strongholds
Join up with other warriors to siege enemy battlekeeps, and take a stroll through Conan's palace
May 16, 2008
Before there was Conan the Barbarian, there was Robert E. Howard. The prolific author practically invented the sword-and-sorcery genre of pulp fiction in the early 20th century, and Conan was his most famous creation. In 1932, inspired by the lush hill country of central Texas, Howard envisioned the ancient land of Cimmeria and its champion, a brave and headstrong warrior named Conan. » Read Full Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures preview

What guilds will encounter on Hyboria's raids
May 15, 2008
Like a medieval NCAA tournament, raiding in Age of Conan is about gradually making your way to the big showdown. Dungeons raids will be handled by groups of 24 (though 16 highly skilled players may get the job done) in three stages; completing each tier gets you access to the skills and equipment you’ll need to tackle those that follow. Above: Guilds need to divide and conquer if they're going to beat back multiple bosses per » Read Full Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures preview

Your travel map to levels 1-20
May 14, 2008
Tortage Island is "the jewel of the Barachan Isles," but it's a gem with some sharp edges. You'll spend all of Age of Conan's first 20 levels in, around, and in some cases under the island's many and varied environments, all of which are populated by flora, fauna, and folks who'd like to see you six feet under. As in any MMO, travel time is also a factor - expect to do a fair bit of running between points - so the better you know your » Read Full Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures preview
Age of Conan - multiplayer
Days of glory, one frame at a time
May 13, 2008
Even the most solitary pre­-level 20 young warrior will eventually have to dive into Age of Conan’s multiplayer mode in order to earn enough experience to progress in the main story line. Luckily, diehard soloists shouldn’t fear Age of Conan’s multiplayer side. Once you tell your trainer at the Thirsty Dog Inn that you’d like to adventure with others, the game will transition to daytime, bringing you together with all the other “day questers” on your server. » Read Full Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures preview
Age of Conan - single-player
M-rated content. Ultra-detailed graphics. No elves, no orcs - just Robert E. Howard's carnage-strewn vision
May 12, 2008
There’s been no shortage of confidence from the Age of Conan camp, perhaps befitting the game’s namesake: the last press release we received from developer Funcom heralds the game as “one of the most highly anticipated MMO games in history” - and announces that the PC version’s gone gold, despite much Internet buzz among beta testers that it needs more polish than the remaining weeks to launch can possibly » Read Full Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures preview
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
Hoping for the good stuff
Feb 29, 2008
The good news is that Conan’s still different enough from every other MMO to be interesting. The better news is that it’s very easy to play. Perhaps even too easy. Every enemy in the Robert E. Howard-inspired game has three points where they can be attacked: left, right and above. These are shown by semi-circles floating about them when targeted. If you hit them on the left, they’ll defend that side, maybe leaving the right » Read Full Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures preview
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - updated impressions
Easily the most violent MMO of 2008
Jan 24, 2008
Based on our latest look at Age of Conan, we can safely say its looking pretty damn great. The combat system has been changed in a number of very definite, deliberate ways, and it improves the feel of the game immensely. The number of directions in which you can attack has been reduced, combos must now be activated instead of memorised and hopelessly recited, and enemies now display shield icons on either their front, left or right sides - a seemingly trivial inclusion but one that gives » Read Full Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures preview

Jun 14, 2007
As we played Age of Conan in a darkened room somewhere in developer Eidos HQ, lead designer Jason Allen Stone suggested the magnificently ugly face of our barbarian might be corrected by limiting the range of his facial customization. We do hope not: our frog-faced, beady-eyed, pseudo-Egyptian machete-wielding murderer was a glorious sight to behold. Few games allow you so much character in a single human face. You might only be able to play humans in Age of Conans online fantasy world, but » Read Full Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures preview

Mighty warrior prepares to muscle in on brand new territory
Mar 02, 2007
Funcom have been doubly blessed while working on what were calling the 360s first, proper MMORPG. Firstly, Warner Bros announced a brand new movie based on Robert E Howards mighty Cimmerian meathead, which would take away the taste of Governor Schwarzeneggers 1982 B-Movie, and make Conan a far cooler character. But even better than that, Microsoft has given them the go-ahead to adapt their PC game for the truly mighty Xbox 360, taking away the taste of being a PC-only niche title… and » Read Full Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures preview

Dec 20, 2006
It doesn't matter whether or not you liked the Conan films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger or are familiar with Robert E. Howard's famous fantasy tales of the alpha-male Cimmerian. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures promises to provide a truly next-gen MMO experience with retina searing graphics and innovations in both gameplay and design that threaten to shake up many stale standards in the increasingly popular genre.
