You can't log into the Beta yet until this Friday or Saturday but once you log in you an play all the way up to the release date and you get to keep the person you created.
 
This game kicks so much ass. It is truly a fun game to play and really puts you into the world of Conan. I am loving it.
 
Does AoC really has blood, gore, and even some T&A from the rumors I heard?
 
yes it does. When you fight you see blood flying from the other person if you have a sword or use your club to hit them in the face. As far as the T&A go there is plenty of that; one woman who you save at the start of the game offers herself to you after saving her and helping her get back to her city. You just have to find her house in that city once you get there.
 
What class are you playing as?
When retail comes for me on 23'd gona play as Priest of Mitra, is that the main healer class? There seemed to be alot of people with healing capability's.
 
Right now I am a Cimmerian and my class is a Barbarian but there are a lot of other races and classes out there. Once you reach level 5 thats when you can start to interact with other online players in the game. I have met a few healers and they are cool as well as the priest. Right now they claim to have already one million players on the demo and that number will only grow once it is released on the 20th. The only problem right now with the game is the lag. Because they are working out all the bugs while you play. But I will also say this this game is not for older computers, this game has a lot of graphics and you will need a good video card and at least 1 GB of ram to play this game with out a long wait as far as lag goes. That is why I fished my custom built PC before this game was released. The only question I have is when this game comes out for 360 can I still play as my person and still be on the same server or will all that change.

Thanks. As a WOW player since it's debut, I do admit that I'm very intrigued by the game. I'm pretty sure my computer can run it, but since my playing time is limited if this game is too demanding I might have to give it a pass. Both AoC and WAR look to be formidable competition against WOW, and that's good because we need more competition to make everyone better.
 
It should sell pretty well if people from the XBox 360 and PC can work together and still long on with their same players from either or.

It is not to demanding it is like playing WOW or COH the only thing I would suggest is much like WOW get a book that tells you where things are located because you can get lost pretty fast or forget where you are suppose to go with out it now and then.

If "casuals" like me who works 40 hours a week and have a family & kid can play it, then I may give it a shot. I will wait until the lag problem is addressed first though; it's no fun when the game lags down to a drag.
 
yea I am pretty much like you because since I work 40 hrs a week and have a family I can only play early in the morning before my wife and the baby get up and maybe late at night or when I have free time to myself and this game provides for people like that. That is why I liked COH so much because I can complete a mission within 30 min to 45 min and that is how AOC is. It also has markers for those who leave the game for a while and return so you can find your way back to the mission or point of contact if you turn them on which is a huge plus. The lag thing is a problem but they have said it should be fixed before the world wide launch (tomorrow).

Thanks, your story is very helpful, and before I didn't think I'd get into AoC but now I'm seriously contemplating it. I just wish that it has came out a couple of years ago; I'd have alot of time to play it to the fullest back then.
 
I wonder what frank frazetta would make of this game. It looks like animated versions of his paintings. It's good to see this rather than overused anime style.
 
I've only heard a little about this game...I mean as far as details. I'm a huge fan of Conan in general and I loved CoH...will I like this game?

When does it come out?? Isn't it for the 360 as well?:huh:
 
It goes live today for the rest of the world. Its not like COH because it is more mature and as you go along you determine how your player's story will go. I mean if you kill another player in PVP mode they can put a reward out for your death or the person you kill would get more points or whatever if they hunt you down and kill you them self. You can also raid towns and take everything they have and how you talk to your contacts determine how friendly and helpful they are. Also you can have drunken bar fights which is always fun.

It is coming out for the 360 (between August and October) but it is unknown if you can link up with people playing on their PC
