Australian Gamer writes: "I was actually kind of excited to play this game, considering I'd bought two previous copies already for other people. It meant that when I got my own, I thought I'd have something to discuss with them. Also, my disparaging opinion on the majority of MMOs games could be validated by some wider experience with them. Age of Conan was a chance for that, and boy, did it deliver.
I'm not a big fan of MMOs – most people who know me can tell you that much at least – and this was going to be an opportunity for me to finally dip my toe in and maybe give a damn about the next MMO around the corner. There are some pretty simple reasons – I'm an anti-social gamer most of the time. I like locking myself away for hours at a time with NPCs sooooo much cooler than real people. This feeling can be heightened depending on how long my shift was at work that day. There are days where the stupidity of the general public astounds me and some nice, well-adjusted NPCs carefully moulded by the hand picked writers of –oh let's throw out there – Bioware for example, gives me back my (rather naive) belief in the general good."
