Server list is out: Here
Bloodspire! They is not smart, only one Aussie pvp and PVE server, and there are more PVE servers than PVP (Which is dumb, more people play PVP than PVE In my expirence). so it will undoubtably be a busy server, but the more the merrier!
Early access starts this Sunday at about 2am, the live release here is about 22nd or 23rd, with the main servers going live on what should be the 27th. Early access is sold out.

Post 18 Posted by Tachi 2008-05-21 08:54:00 UTC
Is it true that the sieges are just instanced 48vs48 max? Also does anyone think inter-guild politics are able to develop in this game. Everything I have read suggests it can't really support it.
Been waiting for an mmo that would have guild politics in it like Lineage 2 did.
Post 19 Posted by Milenko 2008-05-21 11:35:59 UTC
As far as I've seen, the actual castle plots are in regular world areas. Each world area is an instance though, so technically you're correct.
I'm not sure about guild politics; all you really need is a forum for it to thrive.
Post 20 Posted by Tachi 2008-05-21 12:16:21 UTC
Hmm inter-guild politics, Stuff like if someone kills a player from your guild then you hit back then they try and stop you from pveing/exiting town leading to taking etc... Think this is possible on the pvp server? Can you even formally declare war?
Post 21 Posted by HeReTiC 2008-05-22 03:12:36 UTC
you can pvp almost everywhere cept capital towns, so you can follow someone around and greif them, and like lenko said, politics happens more out of game then in.
Post 22 Posted by Tachi 2008-05-23 10:34:13 UTC
:0 This game run out of stock at EB games here :/, Person said they aren't getting any more till late next week.
Post 23 Posted by Evil 2008-05-24 04:52:06 UTC
If you didn't pre-order you are shit out of luck for getting a copy of the game, it's basicly compeltely sold out in Australia,
For those wanting keys.
The buddy key program will open as soon as server capacity allows. Please check back later.
Post 24 Posted by Magus Nex 2008-05-24 07:53:52 UTC
is the server full? allowing anymore persons to join?
still downloading the hugemongous patches 632mb. so be a little while before i can get in and see if its anygood. :(
Post 25 Posted by Evil 2008-05-24 10:18:50 UTC
Yeah you can still join any servers if you brought the game, they have just disabled guest pass/buddy keys till it all settles down.
Post 26 Posted by Cryodeath 2008-05-24 13:10:15 UTC

Managed to find a canceled pre order for collectors ed.
5 guest keys going when available.
Post 30 Posted by Knight Of Nih 2008-06-04 08:15:48 UTC
so is this game gonna last a while or will it be a quick hit?
Post 31 Posted by uber tard 2008-06-04 08:21:45 UTC
i've heard that raiding in this game is pretty much just zerging so far? confirm/deny?
also in the higher levels the quests are either inadequate to level or buggy, so people are just grinding?
Post 32 Posted by Milenko 2008-06-04 09:30:20 UTC
Im in the mid 50's bracket atm and aren't having an issue.
Post 33 Posted by KidCynic 2008-06-21 06:32:04 UTC
I've just bought this. What are you character names on Bloodspire?
character recommendations?
I've enjoyed playing a warlock and a hunter in WoW.
Post 34 Posted by Tachi 2008-06-21 07:18:30 UTC
There was some vid of a siege floating around the net, Showed some nice fort building them some shitty pvp outside of the fort for a few min. Might pass on this game.
Post 35 Posted by KidCynic 2008-06-21 23:01:52 UTC
I ended up rolling an assassin on bloodspire called "Papadom". Are there any guilds going?
Woah this game is a resource hog. With everything maxxed out, I get about 15fps.
Post 36 Posted by Lothar 2008-06-22 14:17:33 UTC
Its just ya (shitty) lappy shining in all of its glory...
Post 37 Posted by KidCynic 2008-06-22 14:29:39 UTC
it whoops your PC loth and it allows me to transport a minimal amount of gear with me on the weekends etc.
I realised tonight that I had SLi turned off lol.
Post 38 Posted by pookwang 2008-06-22 15:53:45 UTC
cool! i wanna play, what specs to play this game? :eek:
Post 39 Posted by Milenko 2008-06-22 21:43:18 UTC
Its on their site - ageofconan.com
Post 40 Posted by Knight Of Nih 2008-06-23 11:18:21 UTC
guest passes enabled yet?
Post 41 Posted by KidCynic 2008-06-23 13:11:56 UTC
Don't think so.
I had to stop playing this game. Cancelled my subscription as the client kept on crashing every time I logged in, even after I re-installed twice.
Post 42 Posted by CyphiX 2008-07-25 12:22:56 UTC
FYI... Buddy Keys are now available.
Post 43 Posted by ZeReaper 2008-07-31 08:50:29 UTC
Is it worth playing? opinions from high level players appreciated
Post 44 Posted by rec 2008-07-31 09:25:28 UTC
Buddy-key please! I'd like to give this a try.
Post 45 Posted by Evil 2008-07-31 09:58:56 UTC
No one plays anymore, so it's unlikely you'll get a key.
Post 46 Posted by Milenko 2008-07-31 11:47:06 UTC
Yeah my sub ran out last week. Took them too long to enable buddy keys.
Post 47 Posted by rec 2008-07-31 12:36:10 UTC
It's dead already? F*cking glad I didn't buy it then. :P
Post 48 Posted by Evil 2008-07-31 12:45:13 UTC
The game died 3 weeks after release.
Funcoms stock has even dropped 55% since release aswell.
Post 49 Posted by Milenko 2008-07-31 21:48:04 UTC
People were paying to play something that shouldn't have made it out of Beta, so they left for more polished grounds.
Post 50 Posted by HeReTiC 2008-08-01 00:06:25 UTC
and it was tiny in comparison to other MMO's.
major let down. the whole game should have been what 0 - 20 was like. which for me was one of the best mmo game expierences ever.
Post 51 Posted by chips 2009-05-15 02:22:13 UTC

Post 55 Posted by Milenko 2009-05-15 10:44:55 UTC
Tempted to re-enable and see what it;s like these days.
Post 56 Posted by Aegis 2009-05-15 12:21:03 UTC
seems to be chock full of meh - way to entice new players - give them pink equipment in their drops ;P
Post 57 Posted by Milenko 2009-05-15 21:59:03 UTC
I remember getting pretty high level in the first two weeks of retail, but it got grindy really fast. That and the terrible server performance and bugs just drove me away.
Has most of that stuff been fixed?
Post 58 Posted by Aegis 2009-05-16 01:57:47 UTC
chips and i got attacked by 4 apes we each hit one, the server spazed and then we were dead...
i like being able to swim up waterfalls tho ;P
