ROTGS signals rebirth for AOC
Funcom has polished their little gem in the rough so much, it is astounding how far they have come. AOC at release was a buggy, resource hogging, shallow mess. But just like Funcom did with Anarchy Online which also launched like a lamb and turned into a lion; Conan is practicaly a new game. The release of ROTGS is the offical trumpet call for anyone who was waiting to try AOC. Conan is now ready. The DX10 graphics are amazing and much streamlined. The alternate advancement system works well and was a brilliant move to keep old world content from being outdated. The music is probably the best soundtrack in any MMORPG ever. The new zones are wide open and give you a feeling of freedom that the original areas might have lacked. I'm not really sure what else to say, I don't want to harp on about every little thing or I'd sound like some company shill. Basically if your looking for a dark and gritty low fantasy MMO full of guts and glory, give AOC a try. IF you much prefer...

New Player, Loving It
I play both World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online, as a very casual player.I passed up Age of Conan when it first came out two years ago because I was just getting into LotRO, and then I read about the initial AoC problems.But when Rise of the Godlslayer came out I decided to try it out, looking for a change of pace.The game installed with no problems and I have not experienced a single crash in playing probably 20 hours now. Created a bear shaman and leveled all the way thru Tortage and am now in Cimmeria, level 27. Great, great fun so far!There seem to be a lot of people on but its not crowded, and the players are pretty friendly so far. I have not done any instances yet or PvP, but I have explored a bit and fought lots of monsters, with nary a game glitch in sight. I think I will stick with it.If you were, like me, tempted to play Age of Conan earlier but decided not to after the initial launch, I'd say give...

AoC has improved dramatically
I played at launch. There were multiple game breaking issues. I quit after 2 months.I've been reading a lot of positive reviews lately so I decided to buy the expansion and give AoC another chance after being away for nearly 2 years. I am very impressed. Nearly all of the technical issues and bugs present in 2008 have been fixed. In 3 weeks of play so far, I have not experienced a single crash to desktop. The game runs smoothly on the highest video settings on my mid level computer and graphics card.Probably the biggest gripe of players in 2008 was the overall lack of content for those leveling from the 50's upward. There was also a distinct lack of content for those who reached 80 since city sieges were broken at the beginning and very buggy once they got them working. Funcom has been very busy the past two years addressing these issues by adding an immense amount of content. Multiple raid dungeons have been added along with a lot of new content for...
