Sailing in Hyboria?

in Age of Conan: Unchained

If you take a look at the world map http://hyboria.xoth.net/maps/chrysagon_hyboria.jpg there's a fair bit of open water and many islands.

As far as I know, there is no sailing in AoC right now... but I've seen many docks and ships and so I really hope that sailing Hyboria will one day be possible.  I've always thought sailing in fantasy games should be a must... it just makes sense... Vanguard had me very excited because it looked like they were going to get it right.  But unfortunately that project was handled so so badly.

With AoC, it looks like the project is behind handled by some people who really care... and the launch should go well.  With a well developed platform, I really hope they add sailing and much more eventually.

Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

    The devs have stated they are considering adding naval content in a future expansion.

    Conan used to be a pirate himself in a considerable amount of his life.

    Tottaly have to agree with you here, I for one have been waiting for ship sailing for the longest time, and I too thought vanguard would let me experiance this, but was fooled again by Brad mckuado.

    It has always been a dream of mine to be a pirate in an mmo. Not in A POTBS way really more of a can walk around my ship and get into to REAL battle sense.

    Yeah UO had a pretty decent sailing system considering the time it was released.  I really thought this would of been expanded on in today's MMOs.
