Age of Conan Expansion Coming In 2009
At the recent Leipzig Games Conference, Funcom developers announced that the first expansion to Age of Conan is planned for a 2009 release. Details about the expansion are sparse, but a significant amount of new areas appear to be in development for that and a free upcoming content patch. Massively points out a video which showcases some of the new content. 1Up has a piece of concept art for the expansion.
Fanboi? I'm not even playing the game anymore. But it's always fun to see all these people who get so let down by whatever high hopes they'd thrown up and then go on and on and on all over about how this was the worst thing they ever tried. And no, he's not being facetious, he's being stupid. Read the post. Learn the facts. Compare. Fail. Stupid. And the first 20 levels being like the others? Well, I'd say that pretty much every MMO in the world is pretty much the same as the tutorial area, over and over and over and over again and again and again. Endgame content was there, but bugged to hell. Like in pretty much every other game. Obviously FC bummed out on the hardcore players there, because the game is meant for casuals and casuals still haven't made lvl 80. So, for the majority of people playing the game, it's pretty much fine. There were lots of things broken and bugged, and I was surprised at the level of polish that was lacking, but if the game had been better focused on giving a good team experience, then all that crap wouldn't have mattered. And yet again, the whole "i said i would never pay funcom again because 7 years ago they had a bad MMO launch", I hope you do realise how ridiculous that sounds. The launch for this game was better, no doubt lots of problems, but nothing that really destroyed the game for anyone.
