Age of Conan's official developer blog resurrected

Welcome friends! I'm very pleased because I discovered that Age of Conan's official developer blog resurrected. It's been some time since Age of Conan had an active developer blog. Well was “out of order” since launch day back in May 2008 and I feel now happy. Really - It's nice to see that developers are alive and are making a progress while making a game – it gives my heart a light feeling, which I would to feel all the time.

For the first post of the newly resurrected dev blog, FunCom's Glen "Famine" Swan discuss the newest update and touches on the itemization overhaul coming up next. In the future they should talk about their mistakes and how they resolved them. As a player I would like to know better situation – It's simple. If I know, that game will be still in development and they are going to patch it up and make a lot good additions to game, then I know that is really worth to continue paying for subscription.

Herold of Xotli is awesome, I've got new character and it's totally perfect. He is transforming into real f...in DAEMON! It's very fun and entertaining character, it has lot dps and light armor. Imagine that – light armor and dps class. Do you have idea, how tough he has to be at late levels? It just give me motivation to play more and level up myself a lot.

See you again on my web blog!

Age of Conan premiere

Was great event in all mmo industry and is one of the most interesting MMORP game created. Game has really huge world to discover with powerful enemies and mobs. You can play as barbarian, conqeror, mage, necromancer and many more classes. Check out this video, is very cool intro for Age of Conan.



As you see now Conan is great and powerful king of Aquilonia one of 3 kingdoms. You can create your own character in game and discover Age of Conan world as a member of one from 3 kingdoms. Aquilonia, Cimmeria and Stygia. AoC has been launched in May 2008 and its one the many very popular.

Want some overview about classes? There are four main archetypes which are – Rogue, Mage, Soldier and Priest. Mages are only for Stygians by the way. Rouge can be Barbarian, Assassin or Ranger, Solider a Dark Templar, Guardian or Conqueror and Mage Necromancer, Herald of Xotli or Demonologist.

Age of Conan - Hyborian Insider - PvP

Check out this cool presentation, its about PvP mode and getting PvP experience points and gaining PvP levels. I think really cool will be playing in PvP mini games like Team Anihilation mode or capture the flag ( its easy and funny ). I wonder how it is going to look like. You know, like team deathmatch – you have to kill as many enemy players as you can? It's going to be totally cool in my opinion. Much better than PvP modes in WoW. And Capture the Flag? While having these fighting possibilities, It's getting very interesting.

Personally, I hope that in Age of Conan PvP modes there are going be a lot of maps. It will be bad if I will see about four or five maps, in such great game like Age of Conan. This is what we want, huh? I hope Funcom will make more playing modes, so we will be able to feel the savagery of the Age of Conan.

Ultimate cool stuff is destroying whole town with your guild :-) crush your enemies and burn his town ( crispy ). You can also hire NPC for your private army! COOL! I just love Total War series and it will be cool to command, with various troops in order to capture enemy town or either destroy it, using these forces.

Premiere is 20th may! We must be prepared! Or we will be punished by Conan the Cymmerian if not!

Age of Conan NEWS

New information from producers - game will be released not in march 2008 but in may 20th 2008.
It's damn two months – why FC, why. I am asking you – why? I am waiting for Age of Conan since a lot of time, and they are giving us so painful news. We need to wait anyway, but it will be slow two months. I have already said, who I will play with – full Conan copy, which will show other posers, that Conan copy is only one. And it's me. Rogue, Barbarian, Two handed sword and long hair, sure. For the people of Cymmeria, I will crush everyone who will stand on my savage and, filled with blood, path.

One guy had said:

"Ok, enough with the emotions, though I simply needed to get this off my chest. Why do we delay again? It is simple and it is complex:
- The level of bugs."

So crew from Funcom company is working to fix bugs in Age of Conan...ohh man im starting to get angry. I think Funcom should put more effort into the game. Players want to see a game in 1.0 state, not the beta-test. It's very simple. If game will be filled with bugs, most of players will just run away. I hope though, that Age of Conan will be really ultimately innovating game and will give us a lot of entertainment.

Age of Conan - combat system

In Age of Conan, player will be able to - it's completely new system - control his character aim and make combos with any weapon. System is little similar to Elder Scroll - Oblivion, where you can also do powerful or weak blows, but as you know in Elder Scroll you can't attack your enemy with combos. This is very interesting – I have been playing in Morrowind and Oblivion and it was awesome, to have face-to-face combat with various tough monsters.

Everyone who want shoot to enemies or monsters, must got good aim ;-). Because now you must carefully aim and if you are lucky you can hit for critical - shot in eye, heart (?).
Interesting that anyone who want cast powerful spell must also do some very complicated combos.
I hope that Funcom will really make something totally awesome, and that what are announcing, will be for real. In my opinion it will be very fun to play using dual-wield or bows. I hope just, that I really have fun playing in this kind of game.

I was lately thinking, how game is going to look after a premiere. It is will be buggy? Or maybe it will be polished to the max? Three months to world premiere and I just can't wait. My hype is on maximized level and I don't know what I will be doing when game will be released. Play whole days and nights? Maybe! We will see ;)

Age of Conan - siege battles

In Age of Conan, game creators - Funcom - are preparing lots of innovation in MMORPG genre. One from this innovating idea is building keep by guilds. Someone from guilds leaders will be able to built, special building, walls and siege weapons. There will be also 4 special profession to 4 leaders or top members of guild. Another this is that, you can hire regiments of troops, this regiment will be full under control of computer. Cool huh? It reminds playing in Total War series, where we are commanding with troops just like real-life officers. I haven't seen anything like this in any MMORPG, so it's going to be very innovating stuff. Too bad though, that we are forced to wait for so long time, it makes me bored.

Battles will be awesome i think – I didn't saw anything like it before!Its not all because the also preparing special combat system called "real combat" - real revolution, where you will be forced to fight, using keyboard and force every, of your single attacks. I just can't wait until it will be ready and Age of Conan will be released. This game is be totally awesome in my opinion. It will be to get dual-wield with two blades or get two-handed sword and make some fatalities on some players. There is nothing more humiliating in PvP, than getting executed. It will be fun!

Conan

was born in ancient Hyborian era around 12,000 years ago. His mother give him birth on the battlefield when she stood in battle against evil tribe of Virim. Cool huh? Born during the battle – that's what they calling a destiny, not to mention that his mother has had to be a really tough woman. His father was a blacksmith, after his father Conan was strong built and very big ( he got almost 7 ft ). There was no man who could stand a one-to-one fight against our brave Cymmerian.

Life of Conan was hard and bloody ( of course for his enemies ) - he was an gladiator, pirate, soldier, mercenary, theft and in the end a king of most powerful kingdom in Hyborian world – Aquilonia. Maybe have you watched a movie – Conan the Barbarian. In this movie, we are witnesses of Conan's earl history, as his village was slain by Stygian soldiers and his family died during the raid. In my opinion, is one of the most climatic films ever made. It's just brilliant and has everything, what good fantasy movie should has.

Conan was the most popular man in history of Hyboria. And of course he will be a King in upcoming Age of Conan. Sweet ! A close meeting with King Conan, I just can't wait for it. I just hope, that he won't kill me at the first meeting, that would be bad.

Robert E. Howard and Conan

Welcome on my weblog! Today something about legendary fantasy character - Conan. Robert E. Howard created this character years ago in his book "Hour of Dragon" and after he wrote it, he die. But another writers after him, write about Conan and his adventures in fantasy world of Hyboria so now we've got around 90 books with his adventures. Of course, some books are better and other worse, but it is worth to read them. He is slashing, killing and reaping apart anyone who is close - this character is first character of the Heroic Fantasy genre. Funny? Well, for him It's indeed a real entertaining. Dunno about his enemies, but is hard to call someone happy after being slashed. But It's his choice, Berserkers are rather happy – they are just finding, what they are looking for.

This genre is like Diablo (you remember this game?) he is hacking and slashing, everyone in his path. He isn't a thinker or someone like that. He lives to seek death of course to bad guys! After years of adventures, he became powerful King of Aquilonia - biggest kingdom in Hyboria.
And we are now in Age of Conan MMORPG! Because in AoC, Conan IS mighty King of this kingdom. Try to not piss him off or he will chop off your head – it's simple philosophy, if we can call a philosophy killing somebody.

See you again

Conan and stuff

Welcome on weblog dedicated to Age of Conan, fresh game from genre of MMORPG. Funcom is still working to create one of the meanest and toughest MMORPG in history (you need to be 18 years old to play in AoC) is coming very fast on the screens of our PC. Game is going to be filled with savagery, brutality, barbarism and sexiness. I haven't seen any game, especially a MMORPG game, which could be 18+ and offer that kind of content. It's very original idea and It gives me an opportunity, to try at last something new.

This brutal and suggestive game is creation of Funcom company. Conan is a character created by Robert E. Howard, he created great world of adventure and fantasy - mythic, Hyborian land, where rule Conan - King Conan. You should know Conan from the movies like Conan the Barbarian or Conan the Destroyer, and if you are fantasy book reader from books written by Robert E. Howard. My only hope is, that Hyboria will be really filled with savagery land, where every wrong step into the unknown lands, can end up with brutal death. Yeah, I really do hope – everything for a good climax.

Anyway check out from time to time my weblog dedicated to Age of Conan!

See you again!
