I ordered this on April 28th and yes I was one of the stupid ones that did not register immediately (did not think I had to). So I'm sitting here on May 22nd waiting for a game that should have shipped on the 20th and it still has not shipped. Never again! I was told by customer service that they had not received enough copies...
 Why do people write reviews based NOT based on the game??? May 22, 2008

First off, I would like to say that I am having a blast playing this game. This is the only MMO that has held my interest (beyond the first 30 minutes) other than LOTRO and Guild Wars.
Yes the combat system takes some getting used to but I am actually finding it more fun than in the other MMOs. Instead of mindless icon clicking, you need to know which direction to attack and which directions to attack to pull of your special abilities. I used to be a Ranger in all my MMOs (Guild Wars, LOTRO) and would avoid hand to hand combat at all costs, but I have found with this new combat system I actually enjoy getting into the mix of battle and taking down enemies. This all stems from the new combat design. I no longer have to worry about "oh do I have to do this skill first, before I do this one" and such, Now I can get in there, start hacking things and use my skills I have set up.
As for the people that are giving it bad ratings because of Amazon and Funcom, you are all retarded. They have nothing to do with the game play and how much fun it is to play. Yes I was one of the people that got burned by Amazon with the shipping of my Collector's Edition, but mine did get shipped out and I will receive it today. So how does this verify you giving the game a bad rating? It doesn't. Oh so you whine because you didn't get into the Early Access, I did get in, and Funcom's statment on closing the early access was they did not expect so many people to be siging up for this game. WHICH IS A GOOD THING!!! Why would you want to play a MMO with no people? They actually had to have downtime in order to throw up a few more servers in order to handle it all. They also have ordered more servers which are on the way. Amazon should take down all the ratings that are based upon peoples opinions of Amazon and Funcom instead of the actual game itself.
Amazon sucks May 21, 2008

The game appears to be very nice in every way. Amazon just informed me today that "it could not find the product I ordered". So nice to inform me of this after the game has come online. The purpose of pre orders is to get the game when the game comes out (or within the 3 day early access period). Thanks for nothing. Now apparently the price is about 50 bucks more than the pre order price and I don't see any hint of the bonus stuff I was promised...... I ordered it over a month ago and they wait until today to send me an e-mail.
AoC: A Refreshing Addition to the MMORPG genre May 21, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Age of Conan is hands down the most beautiful MMORPG on the market, and most likely will be for the forseeable future. Funcom has pushed the tech envelope with this game, which will cause some people heartache because they may not be able to run it with all the bells and whistles. I am running AoC on an Intel C2Duo e6600, 8800GT with 3 GB on Vista 32 on high settings and getting 40+ FPS and no lag. Here are the features that set AoC apart from the other MMORPG leaders:
-Incredible voice acting
-Excellent Celtic soundtrack
-Best visuals of any MMO, and even bests most non-MMO RPGs. Spell effects will floor you.
-Character creation that rivals Oblivion
-Great classes unlike you've seen in other MMORPGs. Priest classes in this game don't sit back and heal. The Priest is on the front line with the tanks basking in the glory of combat. Rangers, Assassins, Barbarians, Tempest of Set, every class unique and fun to play.
- Mature rating makes for some great quests. The quest system is great and the quests very fun and dynamic
- Combat system is the most involving in the genre. You can't get up to use the bathroom in the middle of a raid in this game! Fatality animations are INCREDIBLE and really make for a fun PvP experience
-You can choose to solo (best do that on a PvE server) or run raids and PvP matches in group. Great content no matter which type of player you are
- Creates the true feel of Robert E. Howard's world. Conan lives on in this game!
Needs work:
- UI a little clunky, Zboard or G15 keyboard is recommended but not necessary to enjoy the game
- Crafting system is a little weak
Good news is both of those issues can eaily be addressed. I have not had this much fun playing an MMORPG for many years. If you are a fan of the genre and have the PC to run it well, you don't want to pass this game up.
Dissapointed and Upset May 21, 2008

The second falls onto the shoulders of the online companies where the game was pre-ordered from - the companies did not provide the pre-order keys to the customers until EA was already closed out. Amazon provided the keys right away so there wasn't much worry with Amazon falling into this group. (This was stated by someone else)
Yeah right, I pre-ordered back in March, never received any pre-order key. Amazon still hasn't responded to any e-mails, and I might receive something by June 9! WOW, this is horrible service. And because of this I will never order thru Amazon again.
