Age of Conan Rolls Out Limited Guest Pass Program

I wonder how many people didn't stick around after their initial month. I know several friends and I didn't. Good potential, but not enough to make me want to stay around.

Kind of wild after they had such a huge number of copies sold originally. Guess gamers are hungry for a new mmorpg

I really tried to like this game, but didn't come further than 45.
Funcom did so many things wrong i just could not enjoy myself.
Very basic stuff (where's my goddamn feedback when i level - MAKE ME DING) up to very advanced/endgame stuff (loot, crafting, questrouting, THE FUCKING WORLDMAP WTF).

Which is a shame, cause Conan does have a lot of potential. But i don't see them fix so many problems anytime soon. Or ever for that matter.

funcom is all about good ideas and poor execution

Anarchy Online had potential also, but that's about it. Funcom should just sell their ideas and have someone else polish and balance them. They never seem to finish or even get close to making an MMO launch ready.

Game's off to a good start, but people are spoiled by the whole cloth that is WoW. The instancing is a bit of a drag, but not hard to coordinate with friends. PvP is a bit unbalanced, but still fun.

If you're going to enjoy this game, you must go on a PvP server. Half the fun is having to look over your shoulder all the time.

Game has good bones, needs work. I'll stick around for a bit.

Age of Conan is a game with potential. However, potential is meaningless if it is not realized. Two months out of the gate and the game is still a paid beta. Content is missing, bugs are everywhere, and everything beyond level 40 screams of, "Put me back in the oven for another 2 months!"

Age of Conan is also a great example of developer hype and broken promises. The buddy keys at launch? Two months and only the CE owners get them. DirectX 10? Someday. Revolutionary PvP? Nowhere to be found. Balance? Mature themes? The spirit of Robert E. Howard? End-game content? The fugitive/murder PvP system promised for launch, then promised for the end of June? All missing.

I warn everyone who is planning on trying out the buddy key trial: THE FIRST 20 LEVELS ARE NOTHING LIKE THE REST OF THE GAME. Do not play through the first city of the game and assume the rest will be as polished or as fun. As soon as you leave the starter island, the game transitions from interesting to typical. You've been warned.

Been waiting for a trial to give this game a spin, guess this will do.

If anyone is kind enough to give me a guest pass, I'll be your friend forever.

PM me please!

wouldn't it have caused less of a stir if they let everyone have the promised 7 day guest pass instead of giving CE people 5 guest passes each and regular people nothing?

this is 2nd MMORPG that I didn't subscribe for after the 30 days.. the other one was Final Fantasy XI

AoC is very stale and I got my ranger to lvl 40 and just didn't want to log in anymore..

perhaps it will be better in another year.. too much content is missing, art, pvp, etc.

I must admit I did buy this game knowing I didn't really have time for an MMO so I wasn't going to stay around for long anyway. However as soon as i got level 20 and off the starting Island I quit, I really liked the starting area and I was getting into the game more and more.

Soon as I arrived at that big city where there was a crazy amount of unrelated quests I lost all interest.
