and people said PC gamin is dead/dyeing

[dxmnecro]

It really seems PC gaming "dies" in cycles eh?

[Tomdc]

GTA 4 anyone? how could Age Of Conan possibly beat the sales of that...

[Leathersoup]

Well in numbers, not easily, but with a 15US monthly fee. It may surpass GTA IV.

fastest selling mmo game of all time..

[barom]

"According to Funcom, Age of Conan is one of the fastest selling PC games of all time. Over 400,000 gamers entered the game world over the last few days, with half of those coming from North America."

Those numbers are good but that's not really anywhere close to WoW: TBC numbers. TBC sold a few millions (2-3 i think) in the first 24 hours.

[MK_Red]

I don't think so. It might be the fastest selling MMO game of all time but nothing more than that.

[Skerj]

That's what I'm thinking, even still I think WoW had a few sales records from the start for a MMO. Well I'm glad Funcom is seeing success with this, maybe some things will trickle back into Anarchy Online (getting a graphics update woot) and that they'll make another Longest Journey.

2.4 million Burning Crusades bought/downloaded in 24 hours...

This game will get an audience, and this is good PR to make sure it has legs for a while still. The important thing for any MMO os to get a solid base. Clearly Conana has that and will be enjoyed for years to come.

[dxmnecro]

Very good point. It will be nice to see some competitiveness in the MMO field for a change.

[TornRaptor]

Agreed this would definetly be relating to the fastest sales in relation to MMO's. I'm still waiting for my pre-order to arrive.

[Ghoul]

@red

agree

[predator]

i never played a MMO before but i am really intriged by this, it looks really cool, anyone got it?

[Baba1906]

i did. if your pc can handle it it is really amazing.

[Azures]

Are they aware GTA4 came out a month ago?

[P4KY B]

:-)

[RobotIsTheFuture]

Co-Sign... hope my pc can run it lmao :P

[Gam71]

One of the Fastest selling PC games.

Read the article.

[Pornlord]

Has anyone here even played the game?? I'm intrigued but I'd like to hear an honest opinion of it from some of you all.

[Tapewurm]

I have played EQ, WoW, EQ2, FF11 and even tried DDO and I have to honestly say that this game has the most potential of any MMO I have played. The graphics are beautiful and it is a lot of fun to play....fatality kills, lots of bloodshed, adult-like storyline and and interesting NPC's. This game is however a beast to run. You need quite a healthy PC to run it all out with max graphics. Fortunately my machine was up to the task with the addition of a better graphics card and 2 more gigs of memory (upgraded from a geforce 7800gtoc to the geforce 9800gtx and from 2 gigs of memory to 4 gigs). Definitely looks good as far as the future of this game is concerned. Funcom got it mostly right from the start....very nice.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

i am unsure if i can play this i want a buddy code :(

[Pain]

People cant leave fast enough.

First Nail. Conan.

Second Nail. W.A.R or least depending on if the Delay of W.A.R by EA was for porting to PS3/360 then its Game over WoW. (Some speculate)

3rd Nail . New FF online. oh baby

[SpartanGR]

All i can say is that all my friends (me included) tried every single mmo out there CONAN, EQ2, FFXI, City of Heroes, EVE, LOTRO, Tabula Rasa, Lineage, Lineage II.
Guess what. After a while we all returned for more WOW! Why? WOW gives you the feeling of not knowing what the next turn ahead might throw at you. That simple. WOW has that world feeling any other mmo doesn't have.

[JoelR]

gives you the feeling of not knowing what is around the corner?

You sure you play WOW? The worlds most predictable game?

[Sumadyan]

bought the game today and installed. Servers were down for maint so I didn't get to play it. I really hope its really good like reviews say. I also played wow and other mmos. This will be nice and fresh experience.

[Tidus11]

Does anyone know if they are gonna have a time trial?? then i might try it out ...looks good though

[Bolts]

After the first 20 levels the game's flaws really start to poke through. Too many instances and the fact its an MMO where you spend a considerable amount of time playing offline sounds like a ripoff. Sometimes I find myself with 15-20 people in a zone and wonder where the hell everyone is, the population is really small for a MMO. It turns out they're all in five different instances of the same outdoor zone. Lame.

[Numbnumb]

Maybe I'm just cheap but I have a real problem with spending $50.00 on a game then having to spend $15.00 a month just to play it! Age of Conan is spectacular in the graphics and I have the rig to play it with. What ever happened to games you could buy, take home and play on the PC? Doing an online extra is okay but what about those of us who are not inclined to spend a monthly tipen just to play?

[Bolts]

Then play Guildwars. Problem solved.

[RareNomad]

They include a 7 day buddy pass that you can use to create your account (which req a key that your buddy will get you via their registered account)

Unfortunately that is not up atm. I have a couple of friends who also want to try it before they buy it, I highly recommend the game. I came from EQ2, WoW, FFXI, Guildwars and never looked back
