The hook for me about Age of Conan is that it seems to be a lot about technology.

World of Warcraft is about time sink and grinding. Now, I'm sure there will be some of that in AOC, but based on what little beta I have seen it is going to be more technoligists vs primatives.

What I mean by that is, the people with metal swords vs the people with wood clubs. As I mentioned before, this looks to be a serious departure from the old grind it out style.

I look forward to it.

Looks like the beta is progressing along. There is a new post up at the official site describing how you start out in the game, and it sounds sweet. It seems more natural that a lot of the traditional kill ten rat MMO's out there.

They are still hyping up the Pvp, which gets me excited, I hope it delivers.

Here is the first pvp screen I have seen:

I can't say I am super impressed. Apologies to Dane Cook, but it kind of looks like a bunch of monkeys fucking a coconut. It's beta though, I'm sure the graphics will improve.

I have been a long time MMO player, most recently with World of Warcraft.

I signed up for the Age of Conan beta and plan to play that, mostly for Pvp.
