Long-time fan of Forgotten Realms and Neverwinter Nights, so I was one of those people who actually spent money on the mid-tier starter pack. Never been more disappointed in an MMO.
Oh, oh was THAT the biggest disappointment you've ever had. Â At least YOU didn't always love Conan. Â YOU may not have watched the original movie at least twice a year. Â I bet YOU haven't read all the copies of the original Conan work done by Howard!
Okay, I should probably not be yelling at YOU so much in caps, it wasn't your fault that the Conan MMO fell flat on its face out of the gate.
But my God, the failure. Â The only RP server was FFA PVP. Â I would turn into a demon, then my hair would be gone because of a graphical glitch. Â You had no idea if you were in range as an assassin to stab someone, so you got as close as you could and prayed the hit engine worked. Â Chat tools were a joke. Â The story felt like they'd tried to make World of Conan. Â Combat was sloppy. Â Some renderings were gorgeous, others half-finished. Â Never have I thought a game was rushed too fast through production.
There's only one good point about Age of Conan, it didn't fill me with the kind of pure, unadulterated rage that the Shadowrun game did in 2007. Â There are no words that I can type here that would express my love of Shadowrun. Â The 2007 game completely ruined my hopes for a good Shadowrun video game. Â I heard the one they released last year was decent, but will it wash the stench of that 2007 game from my memories? Â I'm not sure.
