amazon is selling the collectors edition of age of conan for $4. not including shipping. but for that low, cant go wrong with an mmo. the game is said to have been improved immensely.

http://www.amazon.com/Age-Conan-Hybo...ef=pd_sim_vg_3

It's being sold by GoGamer, there's $9.95 shipping.

$10 shipping? For shame, gogamer.

The shipping price is steep but still a good deal for the game. The collector's edition box is pretty big though.

non-collectors edition is $1 more, but with free shipping.

$14 shipped for a collectors edition is a pretty good deal guys...

Except for this game. The community is gone now.

Oh really? That sucks.

They should really put some offline modes into these games so people have something to do when the community dies.

Nevermind, I take back what I said then. This isn't a very good deal...

And it's F2P up to a certain level, like 20 or something.

Don't let that fool you either: 1-20 content was extremely polished for release and then you play the rest of the game where half the content was broken, buggy, or not adequate for leveling purposes. Most of that was fixed from what I hear, but there's really no point bothering since endgame content is a joke unless you just like PvP. I actually played it longer than my clan until WAR hit and might have gone back if it weren't for the constant memory leaks/crashes. By then most everyone had quit anyways and servers were being migrated constantly. I think they're down to maybe 2-3 live servers now IIRC.

The box is big and quite heavy. It likely would cost 10 or better to ship.

I wanna say the CE is $10 at Gamestop if yours happens to have it in stock... although I would say it's probably not worth it regardless since the game seems to be on its last legs.

don't complain about GoGamer shipping.

The GoGamer rep here will literally have a rage-seizure

I would buy it just for the art book if it had free shipping...

only if they're shipping from moscow.

I don't know why AoC isn't popular. I didn't encounter many bugs after level 20, and I hit 80 pretty quickly. The graphics are far and away the best of any MMO. The only reason I quit is that I felt like I had seen everything.

you gogamer

Obviously you didn't play during launch.

" Modes Singleplayer as well as Multiplayer
Unlike most MMORPGs, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures includes a significant singleplayer experience as well as deep overarching multiplayer gameplay. This is an atypical MMORPG feature, but one that has a purpose. Players enter the game as a lowly galley slave with no memory of his/her past, and over the first five to 20 levels of singleplayer action build the skills necessary to survive in the game's multiplayer levels. During this time you will traverse a variety of rich environments including jungles, deserts, mountains, valleys, dungeons and cities packed with NPCs, beasts and monsters, before eventually leveling up and moving back to your chosen culture’s homeland. Because the only character-related choices that players have to make at the game’s opening are their looks, clothing and culture, this singleplayer mode is important in deciding what class and subclass to pursue and thus the level of impact your character will have in greater multiplayer portions of the game.

In-game levels 20 and above are strictly multiplayer. 20-40 introduce players to guilds. 40-60 deal with large scale combat. 60-80 have the player interacting with King Conan and levels 80 and up represent end-game play. Here gameplay changes as social aspects of MMORPG gameplay take over on a large scale. "


sounds like the first 20 levels are singeplayer, don't know if you can actually play them offline though, probably not

I played at Launch, left and recently came back. The game is substantially improved. There's a pretty decent sized community as well, at least there was on Wiccanna. My only real complaint at this point is the Mid 40's to around 70 is still kinda barren and grindy, but there's lots to do once you hit the cap.
