Description Age of Conan – Hyborian Adventures is an Online Action RPG scheduled for Windows in 2006. A mix of a deep, story-driven single-player experience and a massive and brutal multiplayer end-game brings forth the ultimate representation of the Age of Conan. Now you can enter the brutal domain of the world’s greatest fantasy hero.

In Conan the players will encounter a dark, lush, violent and sinful universe, presented in fantastic graphics and stunning 7.1 surround audio. In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost civilizations and a struggling human race, the mighty barbarian has finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia. But Conan’s rule is on the brink of chaos, spiraling towards the doom of ancient evils.

In this twisted fantasy world, dark magic and brutal combat lurks around every corner, and each man and woman must carve their own unique destiny under Conan’s reign. In the true vision of Robert E. Howard’s dark universe it’s now time for you to become a messenger of death.

   * Explore Hyboria, the legendary world of Conan, presented in incredible graphics and sound.
   * Emerge as a hero from a story-driven single-player experience and embark into even greater adventures in the multiplayer part of the game. The branching single-player story is created by the award-winning writers behind The Longest Journey, Dreamfall and Anarchy Online so expect a rare treat.
   * Experience Funcom’s revolutionary “Real Combat” engine. A new multi-point melee system allows the players to swing their weapons where they direct it, in real-time, going head-on against the formulaic nature of online RPG combat.
   * Create player-made battle formations, and command both NPC’s and other players in epic multiplayer battles.
   * Form guilds in the multiplayer game and lay siege to hostile castles. Let the catapults sing their merry song of death as the enemy is brutally crushed to a pulp.

Age of Conan has a plethora of additional features, as is expected from a Funcom online game. A presentation of the game, including more information about its features, will be held at E3 in May.

Funcom bungled it again..
The games stinks. Major bugs i.e. memory leaks, crashes, quests broken, same old brown armor all the way up to level 80, stats on armor are broken - level 80 stats on armor drops are worse then level 10 stats on armor. The stats on the armor doesn't even effect your characters stats etc. With each patch they make things worse by "fixing" classes like a bug that they found where female melee chars hit slower and for less damage than the male characters so to fix this - they slowed the male characters down for now.... and given their ability to fix things in a timely manner.. that could be months down the road before they fix it and bring all the melee characters back up to speed.

People are leaving in droves. You would think after being out for 3 months they would have at least fixed some of the quests and bugs that were there in open beta.. not even close.

If you really want to play this game I would wait at least 6 months to see if Funcom can get their heads out of their collective **** and get things fixed. PVP is broken, sieges - broken, crafting - broken, huge chucks of game play missing (no content) between certain levels. Believe me no replay value here, you get bored pretty quick. Also, don't be fooled by the tutorial area "Tortage" its slick and lures you in with the voice overs and working quests.. once you are out of the newb zone.. the lackluster of the game smacks you in the face.

Wait for something else to come around.

Does the lust for the blood of your enemy course through your veins, a steady thrum of insistent rage? Do you yearn to stand invincible against the greatest foes of Hyboria? Have you wandered these lands, driven by a whisper in your ear urging you to seek out the mythical city of death, Nexmoenia? Be wary, traveler, for you may have found this home to headhunters and bloodthirsty barbarians. Or perhaps, it’s merely a mirage…
