We sit down to take on the newest adaptation of Robert E. Howard's barbarian stories

Jun 6, 2008

Making an online game these days is tough, as there are few interesting settings left to force into the bizarre mold that is the MMO. Luckily for us, there’s a chauvinistic lore-trove waiting in the wings: Robert E. Howard’s Hyboria - the world of shirtless sword-swinger Conan the Cimmerian - which has now become the most brutal MMO in existence. ...

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

Age of Conan - Tortage Island guide

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

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
