Age of Conan Launches with 700K Copies Shipped

[Bleak]

Just ordered my copy, I'm looking forward to playing it. I very briefly played WoW but ended up getting bored fairly quickly, hopefully I'll put a bit more time into playing this.

Trash, if you get get to level 20 within 8 hours with screen shot proof i'll take my hat off to you. Level 10 is about 6 hours, level 10 about 16hours, level 60 within 96hrs and 70 at around 200hrs if you are good.

Best to 70 so far is 7days 5 hrs.

Has anyone got to level 70 yet? Highest we have in our guild is a 65 and he's played non stop for about 8 days now.

EDIT: ah, we are talking about WoW? In that case, yes, it's around 16 hours to 2o if you know what you are doing. Maybe a little less, I've done 0-20 in a single days play before a few times on wow :/

Someone told me it was over a million now. I think it's going to do really well. It looks like WoW 2 to me. All the stupid guilds have migrated with their stupid guild names, and the barrens chat migrated too.

There are a LOT of people who have been playing WoW for a year or more, and been desperate for something else to play. This is it. It's about as good as it gets so far. It's just WoW with some improvements and differences so a whole lot of bonus novelty factor. Oh, and boobs, and blood. The exact formula is something like this:

Game a bit like WoW + Bewbs + Blood = omfgLotzOfPpl

some screen shots for you lot to drool on.

I've yet to experience any of the l33t barrens chat that I was used to plaguing WoW. Maybe it's because I'm playing on a PvE server now and I used to play on a PvP server in WoW.

I was expecting after the EA ended for it to turn into a school playground, but I've been pleasantly surprised so far with the level of maturity I've seen from the majority of people. obviously you still get the idiots but so far it's been good Oh and boobies are good

Apparently it's sold more than 400k, which is pretty good going

[j.o.s.h.1408]

and please don't bash me for this but apparently that 400k is bigger then wow's launch numbers

If you compare like for like it's not.

AoC's US numbers are around 200+k, US sales for WoW were 240k on the first day alone, rising to 600k subscribers before it was even released in Europe*.

[Trash Man]

Any reports of how this is running on "older" systems? Opty 146 @ 2.5 GHz w/ 2GB RAM + 7900GT

Looking at HMV and Zavvi from my office window before I leave work...

Not very well at all, sorry. You might get away with the settings on low, it will still lag badly in cities and busy areas though.

For comparison, I have a Quad 2.4ghz 3gb ram and a x1950xt pe (not sure how well this compares to your card) I game is 1900x1200 and I have to play on low settings and get bad lag when it's busy. I'm upgrading the card next month.

[Tobeman]

Oof.

Seems quite crowded in most servers although the funniest guild name I saw was <Waiting for Warhammer>

I guess for most people though that is it Conan is, a stop gap until WAR is released. That's pretty much all it is for me, although I am enjoying it muchly atm
