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

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

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)
