MMORPG.com Previews Age of Conan

<!-- .style1 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif} -->

MMORPG.com joins the string of previews coming out for Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures. This preview discusses many of the early aspects of the game such as character creation and the newbie experience. It doesn't cover later parts of the game, but it is a good read for the early on experience.

I don't know why this particular bit filled me with glee. I think that it's the interactivity of it all. Right from step one, I got a sense of how the story would be presented. For those of you who might not know, I am a story junkie. I can't get enough of it and I enjoy when it is presented not as a side attraction to a game, but as an integral focus. By using their opening in this way, from step one, you are engaged with and participating in the story, which starts with characters who were once slaves being washed ashore after the wreck of their boat.
