The graphics, while outdated at times for the models and certain areas feel barren (more on that later), are still beautiful in most areas that gameplay is concentrated in. Pros: AoC has a very unique combat system which combines tab targetting for spells with action combat (arrow keys are your directional weapon swings, and you execute combos later for more damage). In my opinion, Age of Conan is still pretty unique and well worth trying, especially as a Conan fan. However, i've also played far more WoW and been deep into most other MMOs out there over the past 20 years. I'm a huge Age of Conan fan, so take my feedback with a grain of salt considering my bias. ĪoC is probably one of the few MMO's that could use a remake and garner a big following.but never going to happen i'm afraid.Īnyway going off topic here, in short yes you can and should play it (before it gets taken offline lol) just don't invest too much money into it.

Personally i loved the game pre-expantion for it's 3 different regional themes (Aquillonian / Stygian / Cimmerian ) and while the expantion theme of Khitan is great, being stuck on it for 'endgame' all those years didn't do it favors.Īge of Conan had a ton of potential, but sadly bugs, exploits and balance issues not being fixed fast enough made it loses traction with PvP communities, and Warhammer being released a few months after it was a blow they never manage to recover from until the Khitai expansion, and then again Funcom didn't listen to the playerbase especially on the grind and balance issues.

However stay off PvP servers unless you want to get favorized by veterans as gear discrepancies is massive. However for people who never played it before i really recommend it as they nailed the atmosphere and combo combat can be fun, especially for 'hyuge conan fans' it should be at least be played with one character.

It's been on maintenance mode for a few years now with some minor content released here & there.
