With today's announcement that Age of Conan will be going free to play, Game Breakers compiles everything you'll need to know about the major differences between the Free To Play version and the paid subscription service.
Believe it or not, the MMORPG Age of Conan has been around for 12 years now. Now free-to-play and rebranded as Unchained, Funcom has released one of the largest updates in years.
Man, this game was SO good when it first came out. Then they came out with that graphics overhaul and it ruined everything.
The Saga of Zath server, a unique limited-time Age of Conan progression server, will challenge players to achieve milestones for unique rewards.
Funcom has announced that Knut Avenstroup Haugen, the award-winning composer behind the Age of Conan soundtrack, is on board and will be producing new music for their upcoming game featuring the famous barbarian, Conan Exiles. A sample from the new soundtrack for Conan Exiles has been released, and can be listened to on Funcom’s YouTube …
AoC's soundtrack is certainly in top 3 of all the games I've played.
Game looks like shit tho.
The only problem I have with the F2P model for games like Conan and Everquest 2. We already paid for the software. If gamers had gotten the software for free, this wouldn't be a issue. I think that the future of all MMO should be either free software with a monthly payment or pay for the software will no monthly charge.
I might try this again, got the game a launch and it was a blast but the lack of content at the time ruined the experience, loved the gameplay too so going to have to give it another go now, see how it's changed.
