Does AoC Live Up to Gamers' Expectations?

When Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures hit store shelves, there was a flurry by many MMOG gamers to pick up a copy and begin their journeys through the dark and bloody lands. For the past few weeks, Ten Ton Hammer's Cody "Micajah" Bye has been traversing those same hills and dales of Funcom's recently released Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, and he has taken the time to weigh in on the epic fantasy MMOG. Aimed squarely at those gamers still on the fence about Age of Conan, Cody's review is an in-depth look at the good and bad in Age of Conan and we hope you enjoy it!

Although the weapons are often much more varied in their style and structure, the selection of items in the game needs to expand. Thankfully, a recent patch seems to have introduce better itemization within the game, but MMOG players are often never happy unless they have a whole treasure chest full of hats, boots, swords and staves to choose from. Monsters also need to have their loot tables increased to give players a chance to pick up some terrific armor or weapons off of their corpses. Luckily, the quests within Age of Conan do provide quite an assortment of armor and weapons for players to earn, if they're willing to undertake the quest. Who wants to play an MMOG without the phat loot?
