Figured I'd post some shots too. I think it looks great now, though performance is rough for some people after the patch. Here is Ferghus. Come join me and The Cimmerian Hillbillies on Set if you are interested.
Well it's called an engine update...User Name Here said:They just improved graphical features? No improvements to gameplay?
It uses the funcom-own Dreamworld engine. RIFT uses a heavily modified Gamebyro engine I think.Shanadeus said:It shows that it uses the same engine as RIFT.
Or did it?
Have yet to find where the quest starts, but I read it is a fun "indiana-jones" dungeon. So happy about the faction update that is coming. As a casual player, all I got was 2 armor pieces for 2 characters so far, and this was a pain.Team Vernia said:New Solo Dungeon is up, and in a couple weeks two new 6-man instances, cc revamp, and faction grind update. Looks like Funcom is getting some stuff done now.

Don't choose a PVP server, except if you want to play ruthless and are prepared to die often and early. I personally like the melee classes more because the combat system is unique - the casters are a bit boring (but strong).Mendelevium said:Just bought this game for 5 bucks off amazon.

Team Vernia said:Just wanted to let everyone know that for the 3 year anniversary Funcom is making all inactive accounts active until the end of May. Might be worth checking out again to try out the new engine, instances, cc changes, and improved faction questing updates. I'll be on most likely as Tankgeezus, so send me a tell in-game if you see me.
They write in the forums that it shows your account as inactive, but you should be able to log in.JoeBoy101 said:Any idea when they are doing it? My account still showing as frozen (cancelled).
Took a look, all they are doing is adding 30 extra days on the subscription and requires 3 months to take advantage.
Keep in mind that you are able to download parts of the game world like the tutorial zone and level specific zones with the launcher.KernelPanic said:I just got an e-mail that I can play for free til the end of the month, going to give it a try.
Reinstalled from my old launch CDs and it seems I have to re D/L the whole game
This has to be the slowest downloader ever, fluctuates between 50Kb/s and 1.3 Mb/s.
PVP is VERY hardcore. If you want open PVP play on a RP-PVP server, ganking and stuff is at minimum on those. Plus a "blood and gory" PVP server is coming with no rules at all, only one character slot, pvp loot options and so on - so the hardcore folks might switch to that later on. Population is fine, I can only speak for the german pve server but there are folks everywhere and raids are still going.teepo said:i've always just wanted to give this a go due to the amazing art style and the update graphics are making it more tempting than ever before.
how hardcore is the pvp and is the player population still sizeable?
INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:Alright its about time I give this a good shake. With the Witcher 2 out I'm interested in alternate fantasy worlds that aren't from Bioware, Beth, and the like. Engine update? Who the hell would have guessed. Is there any GAF servers for meetings and helping out new players. I wonder if that account I made way back will be active. I'm excited.
How much is this monthly?
Loved first area too so I bought full game for 20e back then. But it got so bad that I've only played few days out of free month.bengraven said:I really adored the tutorial area (huge Conan fan) and would love to play this, but I just can't do $15 for any game. :/

Some people say it was just me, this and that but most of people I know that tried it didn't like it.
I've had like no sense of direction in game, quests were disorganized, didn't know what to do or where to go, big zones and running from one end to other, constant ganking(pvp server, my fault), having to find graveyard and when killed run huge distances. Some problems I've had back then, maybe it's better now, thinking about downloading to try it again.
Funcom is proud to announce the new content to Age of Conan that will tie together the game and the upcoming movie, Conan the Barbarian. Set 20 years after the movie storyline, an epic new adventure pack The Savage Coast of Turan finds players being sent by Conan, now King of Aquilonia, to aid his old ally Artus. The new adventure pack includes but is not limited to content from the movie, and allows players to follow epic storylines in Conans realm.

It boggles my mind why more folks aren't all over this game, it's a unique, highly polished MMO with blood and boobs.
Does it still have boobs?
The forum account is different from the game account. You can set up your forum account withing the reg. page. If you are unsure about the game password - reset the password for "all accounts" - which is the reg. page and the log in to the game.Chris_C said:So I got the email about the free time, downloaded the client... and it's telling me that I have an authentication failure. When I log into my Funcom registration account status is frozen and not playable. Anyone know what the deal is?
EDIT: I can log into the registration page and change my settings but when I try to log into the forums it says the password is incorrect!?

Things have changed. 1-20 is by far my least-favourite part of the game now. This may be because I did it so many times, but I honestly think it does not hold up to the rest of the game world, especially the newly introduces zones. Not talking about the story, though.Chinese Electric Batman said:Levels 1-20 were amazing, one of the best MMO experiences i'd had.
20+, not so much.
Hm, this is weird. Did you have a full active account?Mr. Snrub said:Yeah, same for me. Hesitant to download/install 20+ gigs for nothing, can you let me know if you get in-game?
