I have finally decided to pay attention to the extreme hype this game has been getting, can someone let me know why this game appeals to you and what makes it so Uber??

- Sieges Battles
- Unique combat system
- Conan IP
- Much much more.
The best way to learn why this game is good would be to read a bit on the official site.

I doubt you will see two players avatars having sex together. That would give the game an adult only rating. Also, the only official word we have heard from mmorpg.com is that sex is in the game, and nothing more. We are waiting on details so you can not claim anything as true proof just yet.People are interested in this game because of the combat, the lore, the IP, player housing, border kingdom Battle keeps ( castles), siege warfare, spellweaving, a chance we will have meaningful pvp ( loot servers, and fighting over battle keeps will actually mean something as well ).
There are many reasons why people are interested but we can no way call this a good game just yet as it is not in open beta, nor is it released.
I'll highlight some of the key things I've become interested in about this game.
1. Guilds won't need 50-60 members to be able to play in the PvE end of the game. The largested PvE dungeon is like 23 person I believe. This is important for me, because my guild has always been smaller in size, but very stable, and well run. I would rather play with 25 people I know and have played with for 5-6 years in various games, then have to join up with a big guild to field 40-50 people to raid.
2. PvP'ers get love too! There are 20 PvP levels, so PvP will be a huge part of the game. PvE won't be the only way to aquire "uber lewtz" . I've been a PvP'er at heart ever since 1997-98 when I started PvP'ing in UO. It's always been the most fun I've had playing a game. Nothing beats a good adrenaline rush when fighting a worthy foe.
3. Unique Classes. I'm not forced to conform to the Tank, Mage, Priest of games of the past. These classes do exisist to some degree, but the variety of which each class offers, I beieve will allow for different group styles, and variety.
4. Finaly I think I like how Funcom has went about this game. They aren't just trying to appeal to the masses. They're going with a theme and sticking with it. They are taking a very ANTI-EA approach to this game. I think they loyalty they'll gain for doing so will be huge. Unlike what EA did to UO, They changed it to appeal to masses, and slowly it died off. Sometimes Unique is better, and I think Funcom is embodying that idea with Age of Conan. I'm sure they could get a few more people, if they made it rated "E for EVERYONE!!" but I'm not everyone. I like dark and dangerious places, with foul language when the situation merits it. I don't want to be censored. I want to cut off the head of my foe, and spit on his corpse; after all Conan would. I often ask myself WWCD, What Would Conan Do?
