Age of Conan

Early Access is already being played and the big release is friday 23rd of may. Is anyone planning on playing it? Have you preordered it?

Sadly I cant play it, since my machine isnt powerful enough to run it. It looks awesome, something to do while waiting for Darkfall :O

Friend i work with was in the closed beta.

Says its the best MMO he has played (we both did closed LOTRO beta, he has played multiple others)

He says its finally an MMORPG that actually IS an RPG with a lot of players. The combat system is perfect. He has not had a bad thing to say about it.

I'd say look into it. I trust him.

Second the opinion above.
I have played Guild Wars, WoW, Eve Online, Pirates of the Burning Seas and more and Age of Conan is so far the best I have played.
Great looking graphics, a mature world and best of all, a interesting and fun combat system.

The thing that really appeals to me is the fact that the is not 'auto-attack' and that you have to think and move in combat. Also the magic seems excellent, i like that it is a 'low' rpg, and that magic can backfire. You have to wait for a mage to 'weave' a powerful spell, the melee circle around him and wait for him to finish his big spellweave, and pray it doesnt backfire :)

Most people who played the beta told me it wasn't that great. The combat system quickly becomes boring, casters are screwed up and what not.

I have had a look at it (though not playing the game actually), and something really surprised me : the world isn't really open. There are invisible walls here, moutains that you cannot climb up there, and such things, and overall the game felt like a FPS rather than like a MMORPG.
