We all have a little monkey in us ™
I'm surprised no one has made a thread about AoC (Age of Conan) before. I'm really hyped up about this game. It's the first rated M MMORPG, it comes out May 20th (in North America), and it was created by FunCom. It has a fee of $15 a month and the game itself is $50, but I think it's well worth it. I'll be talking about the features & other stuff of this game.
The Features
- You can build cities - (Watch AoC Crafting and City Building / read this)
- You can have massive sieges against other cities (and destroy the other cities)
- You can decapitate people
- You can have guilds
- There are 3 races and many classes, so there is something for everyone
- You can, of course, have mounts - (Watch AoC Mount videos)
- This isn't like other MMORPGs where you just click to kill the enemies, you have to do certain moves to do some attacks - (Watch AoC Combat)
- NPCs actually have a reason for killing you, they don't just attack when they see you - it may be that they're looking for food, or something else - (except for demons & crap, they just want to kill you xD)
- You can make your character look very unique by shaping the nose, changing the hair color, and LOTS more - (Watch AoC Character Creation)
- There are lots of PvP games such as capture the skull or just plain death match
- The level cap is 80
- There are PvP, PvE, and PvP-RP servers
Mounts
There are 3 types of mounts in this game - rhinos, mammoths, and horses. You get to choose what type they are too, such as for horses you can have an armored horse or a fast horse, it all depends on what you want to do. Mammoths and rhinos also can be used to destroy buildings when you're doing a siege against a city. Mammoths may be very large and hard to kill, but they're also harder to navigate. You also can attack with your mounts, with horses you swing your weapon off of them, and with rhinos and mammoths they attack for you. If you die on your mount though, it dies with you.
Classes
- Assassin: "Assassins are the most lethal killers in Hyboria. Those aspiring to the top of this profession face the most deadly regime of training, discipline, and study, but the ones that survive are executioners supreme."
