What level do you have to be in order to get a mount? I'm thinking about getting this game...not sure yet. Herrick

I believe you can get a mount at level 40. Someone playing the game can probably confirm this.

Agreed, but many find the walls of text a review consist of to be to big a challange i guess lol

Off course, it would defenantly have been a con if it lacked it ;)

Gamespy gave it 4/5 stars.

Seems like funcom is pulling it nicely together :-)

hhhhmmm guys i just realised that i have a 570wt power supply with 1 pcix connector (so only 1 is on the card)....could this be my problem?If the card is not getting as much power as it wants?

I'm no computer wiz, but i have been told that if your power supply is to low for your card , that will seriously mess up the performance.

Someone here sould know what wattage your card needs.

its an MMO they cant even tell you what the outside world is like in AoC until lvl 20 so give it some time, though I say just go out and get it. Its awesomeacidBURN1942

2 reviews out in Norway (funcom is a norwegian developer) :

Gamereactor.no gave it a 9/10

Nettavisen spillmagasinet (internett newspaper) gave it a 6/6.

That is the only reviews i have seen so far.

I am sorry but I DID Beta testing on this game and it is not going to be anywhere near as good as the hype. Maybe it will get better after six months or so but I really think the game is unfinished and full of bugs that will kill a lot of enjoyment from the get go. As the reviewer in the article mentioned, you had better make sure you have ALL the system requirements just to run the game. If you don't, you had better hold off on this one until you get a better setup. My biggest "gripe" with this game is that it just is not much fun in the early levels. The controls are weaks. The graphics are only so so. But, if you don't want to take my word for it, go ahead and put up the money and try it. Or, hold off and read some of the reviews from other players after the first month and let them spend the money first.Gruug

You did beta testing. But did you do open beta stress test with the debugger running in the background? Or did you participate in the closed beta?

Did you play with an older computer or is your rig new?

If you have the horsepower, Age of Conan runs in dx10 with exellent graphics for an MMO. Also looks great in DX9, again if you have a newer rig set up for gameing.

If you have an older single core computer with less that great graphics card and not enough RAM, you will have a bad experience and the game will run poorly and look not to great.....

hehe, i bet man. Do you know how many characters you can make? Overall and/or per server?

Think i read somewhere in the forums that you could have 8 alt's , and that you can chose to have all on one or 8 spread over several servers.

This is not confermed officially as of yet. That info should be available at the "real" launch.

We should get a group of people from gamespot to meet up on Conan and do some missions together.

I wont have the game till next friday or the monday after, but sometime down the road when we all have this game we should mission around, gamespot style :)

Havnt been this excited for an online RPG since Ultima Online!

That would be fun:-).

Will probably chose a european server this time around though. When i played SWG i played a US server, and that was highly inpractical (live in Oslo Norway). Way to many late evenings turned into late nights borderline early mornings. Most of the guys in my guild was like 7 hours behind me.

My normal getting ready for bed time was their getting ready to play time lol

Thanks for the post man, the more and more i hear and see about this game, the more i get excited for it.

"The world of Conan was written to be dark and gritty. This game captures that and augments it 10 times. You wont find any Heroes here...No Cavelry to the rescue...the only happy ending is the one where you split your enemies head open" :D

"Let me tell you now, this games greatest strength is in the Game immersion. Funcom, in my mind, did this right. They want to put you in the pages of a Conan Graphic Novel. In this they have succeeded."

"I would also like to give a shout out to the best scene Ive had in MMORPGs to date....After thwarting the a Sorceress' enchantment atop a volcano...the volcano erupts and just when you thought you had won...its time to run for your life. Escaping the volcano's fury was a heart pounding dash down the mountainside racing to the exit....exploding boulders falling all around you... the ground was shaking (7.8 on the Riechter scale)...you hear enemies screaming , many engulfed in flames only to die in a burning husk.....priceless!" 8)

You're welcome:)

Right now, I'm to busy with my real life MMORPG game, also known as golf, But as soon as the courses close in the beginning of october, i'll be all over this one. And by then i will have bough a new computer aswell. This one is getting old, grumpy and unpredictable he he.
