Age of Conan UPDATE: Revisiting Tortage

:: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

Tortage

Many of you may have read my previous review of Age of Conan. I found that a majority of users who play the game did agree with my review, while about 50% of the rest felt I did not do the game justice and the remaining 50% felt I had been too lenient. Perhaps. There are valued points on both sides of the argument, and it finally comes down to personal taste, experiences, and opinion. However, I feel that anyone who takes the time to actually play the game, and ponder the various points I raised may find that most of my impressions were quite accurate.

One of the points I raised about the game that realy peeved me was the instanced game world. Despite that, I must say that the graphics and design of the world are really good and will often leave you awed at its beauty. So I decided to take a second excursion through tortage.

UPDATE: Funcom is extending the re-evaluation offer for a limited time — no idea what this ‘limited time’ actually means . Good news for those who went on summer vacation and missed out on the offer.

AoC re-evaluation offer extended

Come Back to Hyboria!

A couple of weeks back I received an email from Funcom and here’s what it said:

Your level 70 Barbarian awaits your return to Age Of Conan!

A staggering number of improvements and additions have been added to the game in the past months, and there has never been a better time to return to Age of Conan than now! All of your characters are waiting for you in Hyboria.

This free re-evaluation offer is only valid until 2009-07-22. It does not require any purchase or re-subscription – this is your chance to try Age of Conan again at no cost.

Instructions on how to get back into the game can be found at the bottom of this e-mail.
