 Is it worthy? September 13, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have two high levels characters in AoC and with more than 100 hours of gameplay. If you are trying to decide if it is worthy to join Hyborian adventures, stop reading reviews and posts and I'll tell you why. In one side of the coin you'll find in most gaming websites that the game has in average a high and outstanding score. On the other hand there are tons of gamer's reviews pointing out the numerous bugs the game has, the lack of content in higher levels, a PVP broken system, and even a boring combat system with a broken storyline.
So in the third month after releasing the game I decided to stop reading those posts of frustrated gamers and bought the game since I hold myself long enough to experience all the hip about the game. Was it worthy? I just cannot stop playing it everyday. Does the game still have many bugs? Honestly, I don't know if it is because my computer was specially randomized to play AoC, or Funcom had already solved mayor bugs by the time I started to play, but I haven't experienced those problems allowing me to have fluid and uninterrupted hours of gaming. Is the game lack of content? Only in high levels, but until you get there, you'll have numerous quests by travelling from city to city and town to town. That without mentioning more content is being added and I can certify that. And let me tell you, I've been playing AoC every single day since I have it, and it is not that fast to reach the cap 80 level, unless you don't have a live and anything else to do other than play AoC 24/7. Is the PVP system broken? Right now yes, but it is supposed to be fixed very soon, maybe already by the time you're reading this. What about the storyline? I have even read that the storyline is broken after level 20 and others after level 40. Did those people really played the game? The storyline is definitely not broken. You start playing with the main goal of finding your destiny with which you travel through the cities finishing quests that by itself have a story involved on it that gives you a convincing reason to do the quest. Is the combat system really engaging? Of course, it is unique and engaging since through the levels you gain more combos and abilities that keep you willing for more. In addition, there is a diverse character option that allows you to experience different types of combos for every character and a totally different armor and weapon set depending on the class.
So in overall let me try the question "is it worthy?" again. You know what, for $35 you can get the game in Amazon, allowing you to play a month for free. If you don't like it you can resell it. But don't let that opinions from other people drag you away from experience by yourself this game that in my personal opinion deserves a high score for quality and entertaining.
 Age of Conan wither art thou? September 13, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I anticipated a highly entertaining mmorpg with cutting edge everything, but found the game to be slow on my quad core gaming machine, slightly choppy animation, average looking characters, unrealistic water, a lack of imagination in visual design, a highly instanced world, and very little humor. Disappointed and no longer playing it, this game turned out to be a waste of my money.
Forget the five star reviews September 11, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Forget the great reviews here. The 4 and 5 star reviews are going to be people who played the first fraction of the game, levels 1 - 20, in the single lowbie area which is the only of AoC part that's almost finished.
Levels 50+ are just bad content wise. There's no end game. Advertised features don't exist or don't work properly. Their test server for adding content is horrible, so patches made are always unbalanced and filled with bugs.
As of this date, most AoC servers are ghost towns. You can't find people to group with, raid with, or fight against. PvP servers are even worse. Guild rosters are made up almost entirely of people who've left for other games.
This game needs to have server mergers or, preferably, to be put back into beta and re-released sometime in 2009.
Needs Serious Work September 9, 2008

I wont include any specifics for reasons to purchase or choose to avoid this game since so many others have done so. However I will say that this game is initially a great deal of fun, but quickly tapers off as you climb the levels. After a good amount of patching and player observation is done, I'm sure this game will be a decent hit. For now you either decide to wade through half a year of unenjoyable content or wait. Your choice.
Did not justify the price. September 6, 2008

In all honesty, if you're searching for a Mmo, this one will only delay your progress because it gets tiresome by level 40 to be honest and once you reach level 80 people leave because of the lack of pvp or things to do.
If your 50/50 about buying it. Then please don't because you will only regret the 75 dollars you spent (60 for game and 15 for month even tho they say first month is free. Most got charged)
