Age of Conan: the Best MMORPG Ever

Ranked #2,064 in Games, #81,637 overall

A game that redefines the MMO genre

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures deserves to be called a new generation MMORPG. The graphics and detail of character customization puts it above any other MMO game created. Age of Conan also is set in an unique "low fantasy" world - a fresh breathe after all your elves and dwarves. The "real combat" system that it introduces was only used in single player games like Oblivion so far. The spellweaving (spell combining) is truly unique and inovative. Age of Conan is brutal, savage, and sexy - truly the best MMORPG ever.

Top 5 reasons Age of Conan is the best MMORPG

  • Incredible graphics, thanks to DirectX10 capable DreamWorld engine and talented & professional designers from Funcom.
  • Realistic combat system where you actually have to aim your sword swings - a hybrid between action games and MMORPGs.
  • Brutal, dirty and very dangerous "low fantasy" world of Hyboria, based on Conan novels by Robert E. Howard.
  • Massive PvP siege battles with hundreds of players on the battlefield at the same time.
  • Incredible detail of character customization: there are sliders for every body part, and there won't be two characters that look alike.

Download Age of Conan Soundtrack

Many Age of Conan players say that music is one of the best parts of the game, and I couldn't agree more. The talented Norwegian composer Knut Avenstroup Haugen has created one of the best video game soundtracks of recent time.

You are welcome to listen to the streaming track previews and download the ones that you like. Or, if you prefer buying a physical CD, order the Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Original Soundtrack from Amazon.

    I had high hopes for this game when it came out, but it fell far short of my expectations after a couple of weeks. Hardly the best MMORPG ever. Who's the moron who said it is?

    But AoC is like so dead. I'm looking forward to Aion.
    It looks promising so far. Don't know how it'll turn out though.

    AoC is a great game but it has it's problems. To be more precise, after leveling two toons to lvl 80, I would say it's the following:

    A) Lack of content. At level 80 there's nothing to do but do full raiding of NPC's or ganking. It becomes boring fast.
    B) The FFA PvP setup. PvP is fine, just not all the time. Sometimes ppl want to just quest and level. To be honest, it's not that fun to be killed when you are in a middle of a boss fight and a sliver from death. Call me a care bear all you want but a lot of ppl left the game due to this, me included. And don't tell me to roll on a PvE server, they are deserted.

    One thing - age of conan in no way is the best mmorpg. It is actually very bad. Level based grinding again. Just like in wow. But wow is at least good in its all carebear style. The best mmorpg ever is so far only one - ULTIMA ONLINE and all hardcore mmorpg gamers will agree on that. Also there is EVE which might compete. Our only hope for good new age mmorpg in hardcore UO style is DARKFALL. Google it, they say it will come out in 2008. Let's hope, because it WILL BE AWESOME (probably). Also cheers from Latvia ;)

    Nice videos! I almost bought this, but I have had trouble with RSI in the past, so I don't really need another game to get addicted to. I'm finally to the point where I only log into WoW a couple times a month. ;)

    Age of Conan, will be the best MMO ever, atm it still has it's problems, but so what?... no other MMO even comes close, thanks to the rich graphics and straight forward game play, when the extra content is released this game will get even better.

    I've tried Warhammer (for a day before I became totally bored, it's just the same old c**p for the kids) AoC is a game for adults and I'm looking forward to the future with this game, as i'm going to stick with it.

    Hmph servers are down atm, so it's a choice between Warhammer or the house work... just starting the vacuum up!
