The Land of Hyboria has Now Been Released (Track This Article)

By: Bert Mitchel

The much anticipated massively multiplayer online role playing game, Age of Conan, has finally been released by Norwegian game developer Funcom.

Earlier this year, Funcom had the pleasure of announcing a Beta signup population of several hundred thousand – close to the largest in MMORPG history. The developer had mixed success with its initial MMORPG Anarchy Online, with a good showing upon launch but an inability to monopolize with future expansions. Shadowlands, the game’s most notable addition, received widespread approval at various levels and rose the game to new found levels, but could not overcome the monster of World of Warcraft.

Previous and current massively multiplayer online roleplaying games are often criticized for being too detached from the gory subjects they are based on. Doing away with the blood and gore for more widespread appeal is not something Funcom are willing to do with AoC.

Age of Conan contrasts with all other MMORPGs. Whilst Anarchy Online led the way in producing the first post-apocolyptic MMO to fulfil the fantasies of many players, Conan guarantees to innovate in the online gaming genre.

Not much has been said about the Hyborian transaction platform, only that currency used will be Gold. Though the developer has prior knowledge of MMORPG trading with Anarchy Online, this could prove the biggest challenge for their latest title.

Few know what the future of AoC is, but it is certain to have a huge impact on the current MMORPG industry. Future releases could learn a lot from the exemplary planning of AoC’s release, wowing gamers with their innovations in gameplay and combat systems.
