The early game is pretty good, it's so much better than EQ2 or WoW (which are the only other two MMO's I've played at all). It actually plays almost like a decent single-player RPG, instead of just giving you a bunch of embarrassing tasks like kill 3 badgers, kill 4 wolves, kill 7 skeletons, repeat until your Lv. 20. Granted, there is plenty of that too, but there are almost story-line quests and cutscenes and stuff that are actually pretty decent. I played it for about 5 hours this afternoon, and got my barb up to Lv. 14.

And I like how there's almost no protection for newbs in the PvP servers. Once you leave the town, it's open season on your ass for one and all. Gank or be ganked. Age of Conan is a barrel-chested, two-fisted, manly man's game.

I have the largest pectoral muscles the game will allow you have on a male character.

I'd like to get it but I doubt I could run it very well, even on low settings from what people on the GAF thread say. I pass the minimum requirements on system requirements lab, though.

Im really disappointed with Warhammers visuals too, what happened to that early vid I saw last year that looked awesome? The dragon ive seen in screenshots looks so EQ 1.5

thread title should be age of conan: Evilborean Adventures

Warhammer is looking more and more like a reskinned Dark Age of Camelot right now than anything else. It's also damn ugly. I'm not sure what EA Mythic has been up to, but they need to kick it up a notch before release.

The game looks great to me (at least in the screens posted in the GAF thread on high end PCs). I'll have to see how it looks/runs on my PC when I get home (I installed during lunch, when I left it was patching itself).

So can you run around naked naked or just MMO naked?

Seems that Conan should allow you to be naked naked.

Eh, I'm going to join the Goons on this one. I doubt there will be too many EBers that get into this game.

Draft · « **Reply #26 on:** May 21, 2008, 06:29:10 PM »

Goons are fun at first but turn into monsters later.

I played WoW on Mal'Ganis which was the Goon's Horde server. They were great at first, but very quickly splintered into various subguilds, and pretty much everyone who was still in Goon Squad after the first year was a certifiable distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.

I haven't seen anything too bad so far. I've teabagged a few noobs myself, sure who hasn't, but I haven't seen any griefing bad enough that people couldn't finish quests. The resurrection points are usually pretty close, and the penalty for dying isn't too harsh (-2 to Attack, -2 Magic for 30 minutes or until you go back to your tombstone).

I'm thinking of going with Buubserella again, for consistency. Plus in AoC I can make her live up to her namesake. As for class I was thinking necromancer or demonologist. I will go with whatever I think is nice at the time.

OK, I figured out my problem. For some reason my game kept reverting my shaders to 3.0 when I changed them to 2.0. I got them to stick with 2.0 and now I'm getting 10+ FPS in the city, so it'll probably be even better outside. Woohoo!
