Conan and Age of Conan Blog and Fan Site

Hello folks,

The big day has finally arrived and I have some new screen shots of my progress today in my age of conan blog.

Big Day

Finally after 5 years Age of Conan has been released. I personally have been waiting about a year and a half for this. The game so far is great. Minus a few communication issues with Funcom; so far the game is great.

This is taken from gamesindustry.biz

Pre-orders of the MMO’s collector’s edition have been strong enough to cause the title to completely sell out, despite a second print run to keep up with demand, selling in total around 111,000 units.

The demand has been so high that 700,000 copies of the game will be shipped to retailers for day one sales, and Funcom has announced it will be unable to fulfill all pre-orders in some markets due to current server limitations.

Those are very promising numbers. Hopefully Funcom can deal with the demand that is placed upon them in the coming days.

My progression

My Bear Shaman is now 33 I have a new weapon to show you all which I just got from a long series of quests in Conall’s Valley. It has to do with the Yrmish. I forgot the exact title however you most likely won’t miss it. Here are a few pictures for all of you to see.

Also here are some tips on PvP servers.

1. Get a leveling buddy. Quests give so much exp that the mob experience is nowhere near worth the time resurrecting and buffing.
2. Alt + F10 camps you to the login screen. This is useful for those of you who want to try out a bunch of characters.
3. The game is instanced partially. If the servers are overloaded the player base is split up. Don’t make the same mistake I made =P (That little arrow represents selection)
4. Align your mobs so you can do AoE damage. This is very useful for melee as the term “Aoe” was usually specific to mages. It speeds up mob killing.
5. Always look at your quests on the map. AoC has made it particularly easy to know where to go. It saves a ton of time.
6. If the server says its full and character can’t be created.  Wait until 6am or so(off-hours) and quickly make a char then.  That way you will just be in a queue instead.

Anyways everyone. Thanks for reading as always.

Stay tuned!

Regards,

Spreeman
