10 Things you must know about Age of Conan

Welcome on my blog. Today few words about one of the best games i ever played - Age of Conan!

1. It's brutal, savage MMORPG designed especially for mature audience. Game is bloody but perfect for someone above 18 year old. Looking for great entertainment? Check out Aoc ;-)

2. Age of Conan is game based on Robert E. Howard novel, "Hour of the dragon", where appear- for the first time - Conan, brave adventurer and barbarian from Cimmeria. There are over one hundread books about his adventures!

3. Game has been developed and released on May 20, 2008 by Norwegian company Funcom.

4. Funcom created also Anarchy Online, few years ago. It was very successful MMO RPG. I played in Anarchy few months, but I prefer fantasy games more than science fiction stuff.

5. Game has most incredible and advanced game engine used in MMO RPG history. Well, after Aion Online, Age of Conan is on the second place ;-). Aion is now is best looking MMO, but probably until Final Fantasy XIV appears.

6. Game lost many players because game was really very bugged at premiere and later, players has left Age of Conan for World of Warcraft or Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, Lord of the Rings Online.

7. Conan appears in Age of Conan as powerful King of Aquilonia, one of the largest kingdoms in Hyboria. You can meet him at his palace at Capitol City.

8. World where game is set it's called Hyboria and is based on Robert E. Howard's books. It’s fictional world but similar to ours.

9. Age of Conan has very interesting “Real Combat” system which is something new in MMORPG genre. You can use special combos to beat any opponents on your way. If you are skilled enough you can beat almost everyone.

10. Many gamers (like me) are saying that Age of Conan is one of the best MMORPG, maybe with bugs but still with great potential to became better then World of Warcraft or Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning or Lord of the Rings Online (Lotro).
