    The reason to play this game is the unique amazing classes. Spell weaving on casters or playing a giant hammer wielding healer Bear Shaman or a melee focused mage who shapeshifts into a demon to rip apart foes is something you will not get in another game. The classes are some of the best in any game and completely worth experiencing. This game isnt a MMO id recommended staying with for years but its a gaminh experience i recommend to anyone who likes RPGs

    Hey not to ruin your video, but you got it completely wrong about the game, the "kill counter" was originally released with the Onslaught update which brought in the horde mode known as Onslaught and that's where most of the kill counter stuff happens the most, also the game isn't that heavily instanced like you mentioned at 5:03, it's only instanced in the story island for story quests and multiplayer quests.

    As someone who ran a guild in AoC for over 9 years I disagree with most of what you've said although Funcom are still a bunch of short sighted Muppets. It doesn't look like you got out of Tortage (nursery area) or played any of the group content. Your comment about the bosses not having challenging mechanics is nonsense. The group and raid bosses can be incredibly challenging precisely because their mechanics, buffs and debuffs are unique and change and escalate during the fight. All of them are different and require tight co-ordination to take down.
    A lot of the content has been opened up to all players via group finder for raids and instances and there's a monthly world boss that players can kill for decent loot without thinking too much. You do need to work hard to get the real rewards through guild raids and instances though. There's also city building in the resource areas, and once they're done they're glorious. It is still a decent game with a few issues - usually solved by using 3rd party guild bots. Custom UIs are also available.
    The atmosphere and the alignment to Conan lore is incredible. The downside is that Funcom took so bloody long to get it to that state and then they abandoned it as a cash cow. They do that with all their games before it's due. As for the launch - well the less said about that the better. I love AoC - but I hate Funcom.
    If you're a new player then AoC has a ton of stuff to offer and most of it is open to free players. The instances are superb and challenging although you can still get the flavour and decent rewards from the community based group content. There are still new guilds being formed and quite a few of the old guilds still exist. Bear in mind that there's no pay to win - just cosmetics - that's the way it should be.
    Incidentally, the reason Craig Morrison left the company was due to the state of the game at launch and his inability to resolve it. That was under his watch and he deserved to go.

    It's not a perfect game, but it's still iconic enough that I keep going back to it. It has that raw, gritty, rude, and wild aspect that I don't get anywhere else.
    Also.. free accounts get one character, not two. I haven't decided if it's better to sub to get 8 while subbed, or just pay a fee to get extra slots. One extra character is the same as one month sub more or less. But having the sub also raises gold cap, so you can actually buy a horse.

    I think this game does live up to 2023 on a F2P game as there is really very little that stands up to it thats F2P and you can play all content. If you compare it to other F2P MMO like star trek online its right on par.

    • @Damionxmarious
      @Damionxmarious ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a fair point. I think if there was something to breathe something new into AOC, it could have a small renaissance. I just think Funcom has moved on and that's also fair, too.

      @@Damionxmarious Yup they have moved on for sure. Why update a game that F2P and you wont make alot of money from. But the question was is it worth playing in 2023 and I think it is especially for free. Last news post for the game was end of 2020. But its fair to say there will be no more content however there is alot of content there after 14 years as well.

    fair review. but honestly its a bit harsh considering the era AoC was developed and launched in. the game was too ambitious and too large a scope really - and thus each aspect of the final product was spread a bit thin. This review judges the game with 2023 eyes. Also... Warcraft, duh.

    Final fantasy online has a boring end game honestly and as far as elder scrolls online the constant weapon swapping takes away from the fun they need to remove the weapon swapping and buff class spells that would greatly improve the game

    This guy didn't lvl enough to give a "worth playing review". The crafting and PvP part of this game is ultimately what became Conan Exiles. This and Ever quest 2 lasted well for saying it was going up against the wrath of WoW at the time, which is longer than most new MMO's can even do today. Hop on Hop off? well that's how moden Final Fantasy and Wow is Now, no MMORPG was ever Hop on Hop off.

      When you compare it to whats out now I don't wonder actually. We have alot of bad games around and not very many good ones. DAOC, EQ, EQ2, and many more are still running it doesn't surprise me at all when the game is free 2 play. Name a better F2P MMO that is not restricted to unplayable? While this game only lets you have 2 characters it really doesn't block you from all content and thats a HUGE deal. If your not a F2P person then you will not understand and your point is very valid.

      Find another MMO with the beautiful sound tracks for the playfield as well as combat system like this MMO and I will pay you 100bucks, not to mention it is based off of Robert E. Howards IP. What Funcom has done to the players and the veterans of this wonderful game is very disrespectful and yet they have the audacity to make advertising campaigns about their newer project DUNE and Conan Exiles. However people who payed for the subscription of the Age of Conan for a long time have not forgotten how they were treated and left out!
