I wasn't really a big fan of Conan comics, but damn! I just one day picked up The Coming of Conan the Cimmerianand I was hooked! I read the other two books right after I had finished the first book. The only problem there was were the pictures. Some of them were great but some were rather poor, they all are made by the same artist I think.
So yea, Conan is my pal! Hope this game makes him justice!

That would be Korgoth of Barbaria, fucking HILARIOUS homage to Conan! I wish they'd get the lead out and make new episodes...
Originally posted by DaWheels Indeed. When I first started to read them and realized that they were short stories and not novels I was at first somewhat dissapointed. But be not fooled friends, short they maybe, but their just as indepth and involving as longer novels. It was amazing the stories he could bring to life in several pages.
I'm 37 years old, and I have read ALL the original stories, and most of those unfinished, but finished (edited) by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter, and even their original ones (they were quite good).
Also read Marvel comic books which were done by some of the greatest writers in there (Roy Thomas especially) and artists (like John Buscema).
I can't wait for this one because it really looks like people at Funcom are going to revolutionise MMO games, doing this game in manner very true to the original masterpieces of "sword and sorcery".
I just hope people looking at this game at least don't know or have forgotten utter cra.p that was Conan cartoons and TV series.

I agree.
Played Wow, D and L, AOC, GW, Eve, Rift and many more insignificant games.
I remember an old story about it. After he was king, he needed some action an with a fake beard he went for hunting and stealing. He meet another thief on the way and they fought with pickts.
Originally posted by tepthtanis Obviously, many of those reaching middle age have read the books.(35 to 45) So the question is....is do those younger really understand Conan???
For many I'd say "not at first"... but reading the REH is our key Clan requirement, so if they don't at first they will... especially with the REH loremasters we have running the show.

I am the type of player where I like to do everything from time to time, sometimes do quests, sometimes PvE, sometimes PvP and sometimes grind to get that rare item or two. Thats why I dont last long playing a game and thats why I never play only one game. http://www.ukrainiangenocide.com/ - pre-WW2 genocide.
Should be a good variety of things in AoC... raids, PvP, sieges, exploring, drunken brawling... what more do you need!?
