• Beautiful but frustrating
  I've been a Robert E. Howard fan for years having read all of his original Conan stories and many of his other works. The enjoyment of this game comes down to which class you pick. For example the Assassin class (a typical rogue class) can be fun but is very frustrating to play since its so easy to die when soloing. A Dark Templar (a dark fighter who leeches health from enemies) is much easier and thus, more enjoyable to play.

• Alot of potential that just falls flat
  I was looking forward to playing this for awhile and was glad to pick it up upon release. The graphics, story, art book and combat system I thought was very good and unique but just could not get into the game. I tried to play many times but just keep getting back to it being just plain boring...
  So right now it is still on mine and my friends shelves collecting dust and cannot rightly recommend this to anyone. If things change, I may give it another try but with all the options out there, I do not... more info

• Forget the 5 star reviews
  Forget the great reviews here. The 4 and 5 star reviews are going to be people who played the first fraction of the game, levels 1 - 20, in the single lowbie area which is the only of AoC part that's almost finished.
  Levels 50+ are just bad content wise. There's no end game. Advertised features don't exist or don't work properly. Their test server for adding content is horrible, so patches made are always unbalanced and filled with bugs.
  As of this date, most AoC servers are ghost towns. You can't... more info

• A great game that never was...
  I really wish Funcom would have waited and added content to the game before the released it. This game has probably the best combat system ever designed for an mmorpg and that's where it stops. Quests lack depth, pvp isn't fun, end game content didn't work...I could go on and on. Give Funcom another 6 months and this could be a great game but, it is probably too late. Server populations are 1/4 of what they used to be and falling rapidly.
