In the true vision of Robert E. Howard’s dark universe it’s now time for you to become a messenger of death in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures!

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Features:

Enter the true Conan experience: The first official Conan online RPG sends you on a brutal journey in the footsteps of the worlds’ greatest fantasy hero. Meet Conan’s friend and foes, battle demons and monsters known from 70 years of Conan history, and step up to the ultimate challenge and befriend the mighty king Conan himself.
Explore the world of Conan: Enter Age of Conan's gigantic and unique gameworld containing more than 30 distinct regions spread across the three mighty nations of Aquilonia, Cimmeria and Stygia. Explore deep jungles, burning deserts, inhospitable mountains, vast valleys, dark dungeons or gleaming cities, and take part in an incredible journey of exploration and adventure.
Real Combat Engine: Experience Funcom’s revolutionary Real Combat engine, and fight mounted or on the ground. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures features a new multi-point melee system allowing players to swing their weapons where they direct, in real-time, going head-on against the formulaic nature of online RPG combat. The Real Combat engine also allow players to team up in battle formations and command both Conan NPC’s and other players in epic multiplayer battles, as well as giving you the chance to participate in massive Hyborian sieges.
Single-player vs. massively multiplayer: Emerge as a hero from the story-driven single-player experience and embark into even greater adventures in the massively multiplayer part of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

I bought the collectors edition of this game and it was my worst purchase ever. The coding in the game is inheritantly flawed. Due to a Memory Leak, that the cannot yet correct, over 25,000 are unable to play it without crashing after a few seconds. The first training exercise works fine but the game play and char movement are ungainly, to say the best.

Sadly, I waited ages for this game to come out but it really is the flop of the decade.

this game is brilliant best mmorpg out so far!! i was playing wow but got bored came to this and i love it 10/10

I heard alot of bad things about the bugs in conan but none the less i bought a copy at my local game store, after about 2 hours of patch updates i logged in and....Loved it!
The Gfx are stunning and the server runs very smoothly considering how many people are online at any single time!
Within 3 hours of gameplay i had joined a great guild, made alot of new friends and was well on my way to the mid lvls. Ok, so i've only been playing it for around 3 days but its been a total joy to do so. I'm currently a level 17 Dark Templar and my level just keeps going up! I'd just like to say a big thank you to the guys at Fearghal Clan for making my conan adventure so enjoyable!

Overall Verdict - 10/10 (casual or serious gamers will enjoy all of the games content)

Well once you are finally able to log in, the game itself is fantastic, the combat is really different to other point and click kill of other mmo's, Funcom should have sorted all the major bugs out before release, but minor bugs are always gonna be there at release, other than that great game.

played priest of mitra up to lvl44 best healing class in any mmo ive played, no boring select party/raid member and heal actually some action involved making it a change, quite bugging at first, but what mmo dont have its problems on release, quit due to lack of content on release, but will come bck to it in few month when there is more content etc. pvp is amazing in this game, altho it should be race based pvp in worlds =/ can be abit annoying all on all

Submitted by ben ryan

this is a great game altho you really may want to wait as it is very very buggy by far the most buggy mmo of all when thay first come out

The sheer scope and beauty of this game blows any other MMO away. Unfortunately you really need a good PC to get the most out of it. You CAN play it with a lower end machine but so much detail has been put in to the land of Hyboria that it would be criminal not to see it as Funcom intended.
If you are new to MMOs then you might as well go for the best. It's great for beginners because it eases you in to the online world by starting you off on an island that can’t be left until you gain enough experience to venture further afield. After all, you don’t want to get dumped in a world of uber characters and get your hat handed to you every time you try to do battle with someone or something!
Trust me, the charm and epic proportions of Age of Conan will win you over when you enter Hyboria.
