I wonder if Conan will have UI customization. If so how will that affect the console fanboys? I never liked console games in the first place. I hate playing with controllers. I played Halo 2 on my buddies xbox and couldn't aim for crap, bought it for the PC and had the mouse and keyboard, and I was an unstoppable force. But to each there own I guess. Merging these things together will the console players get the same benfit of UI or will they be stuck playing there same bland panel?
I think that the cross platform servers will use MSs Games For Windows - Live. This would mean that to play on those servers users would have to have a gold membership (50$).
could you, at some point, further explain how pvp is 'guild only' ?
go to the AoC site and check out the description of guild-based combat.
A general description from my limited understanding of the system, heres just two of the aspects -
1. Player Cities - Guilds can build cities in the outlands which will need to be defended against NPCs who will build their OWN camps and bases (towns? forts?) and seige the Player city (i think that feature alone is way frakin COOL !)
2. PvP BattleFort System - basically large guilds capture / control / and then fortify a fort with towers, walls, ballistas and other defenses. Holding a Fort gives the guild stat pluses AND control of surrounding territory, unique raw materials, merchant items and the ability to build smaller structures in and around the fort. At certain times other guilds can seige the Fort and try to take it / destroy it. In addition there are BattleTowers for smaller guilds to capture and control which offer lesser rewards than Forts. Also guilds can control and operate things like Mines, Mills and other resource gathering structures which will yield useful items (like precious metals, rare woods, etc.) to the controlling guild. All these smaller structures can be contested by another guild and will need to be fought for and defended.
I can envision MULTI-guild Alliances and warring going on here, so you'll NEED to be in a strong guild in order to participate in this End Game FUN! FUN! FUN!
my only fear is that the console version will somehow affect the pc version as many other console games have done to pc games. i am not debating the fact of which console or pc is better. i like both since both give me different experiances and there are times i just like playing amazing looking games on my big friggen tv while laying in bed. but my opinion is that the pc gives for more freedom and again that is my opinion.
my other fear is that i will die of bordom before aoc comes out
I am so excited for it to come out! I actually won the game in the holiday giveaway. the conan staff sent me a signed comic book, inflateable sword , rofl, and I get beta and free game!! This is soo awesome

You lucky bastard... Did they say to you when u get beta access as in closed beta and if and when it starts?
and a friggen inflateable sword? haha thats so funny.
They said it would be a few months, and as for beta they said I would start in the closed one yes. lol Cant Wait! plus i get the game free which totally pwns all that
Lets hope they open a server with looting player corpses, if not full looting, there better be some chance to drop items. Open pvp is the only pvp. MMO's have become too soft, AoC better change this
Because MMOs are supposed to be SOCIAL games, and it's kinda difficult to chat when most of the player base doesn't even have a keyboard or any other efficient means of communicating. :-P
