Boy, we've sure seen some dreary, lackluster MMOs released lately, haven't we? Let's hope Funcom product manager Erling Ellingsen over at the Age of Conan desk has some sunny news for us.

Erling, take it away.

There is a good chance of Age of Conan releasing May 20 on PC, at a monthly subscription rate of $14.99.

So basically it's just another WoW pvp wise. IE pvp has no real impact on the actual game world since the pvp all takes place in instanced zone.

I miss UO and Asheron's call pvp.

You know, if I wasn't utterly disappointed by the beta, I too would be pretty pumped after watching this video. Erling makes this game looks awesome!

Unfortunately the reality is the game is awesome in theory, but short on execution.

Well I like their whole weatherman setup for the trailer. That was new. The only thing was sounded interesting was the siege warfare and he barely said anything about that though.

The game actually looks pretty fun. If I wasn't about to finally hit level 70 in WoW I would maybe give it a whirl.

The guy should avoid the phrase "mini-game." Really, really bad Mario Party connotations.

Why do I always assume that when someone says a pvp mmo, I think it's part of the actual game and not some death match or whatever fps game mode mini game? At least seige warefare might be cool.

Boy do I miss the crappyness of early UO, turns out it wasn't so crappy. :(

I like the idea of the arena. It's nice to pvp without having to "tree hop" as you did in SB. The alliances back in SB were so fickle, if someone of your nation attacked the wrong people you could lose your city overnight.
