البته این بازی از سال 2008 دراومده و بخاطر اینکه سن بازیکنانش باید بالای 18-20 سال باشه و به خیلی ها باج نداده و البته برای بازی کردنش باید کامپیوتر خوب می داشتی اونقدر ها سر و صدا نکرده. منم غرض ام از این موضوع این بود که احیانا اگر کسی بازی میکنه بگه که با هم در ارتباط باشیم. من از همون هفته اول تا حالا بازی کردم (البته با وقفه در میان)
اگر کسی اهلش هست من توی سرور اروپا هستم و هفت تا کلاس level 80 دارم و توی یه Guild باحال هستم که Guild-master ما یه مرد 40 ساله است اهل اسکاتلند (اصولا اکثرا سن بالا اند)

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the Norwegian computer video game developer company Funcom, and is published by Eidos Interactive for the PC platform.[2] The game's pre-release occurred on May 17, 2008, available to those who had pre-ordered the game and registered for early access; the full release and launch of the game was May 20, 2008 in Northern America, and May 23, 2008 for Europe.[5] Although originally announced as being available for the Xbox 360, the console version is at least a year behind schedule.[6] In order to continuously play Hyborian Adventures, users are required to pay a monthly subscription fee.
Hyborian Adventures is the first installment in the planned Age of Conan series. Age of Conan itself takes place within the continent of the Hyborian kingdoms, a year after the events depicted in Robert E. Howard's Conan novel, The Hour of the Dragon.[7] Hyborian Adventures' release celebrated the 76th anniversary of the Conan franchise.

Characters
Characters in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures are registered to a unique user account on a specific online server, with characters created on one server unable to be played on another. Players are able to create characters which function as their virtual avatars in the online world of Hyboria. During character creation, the player may choose from four playable races. The character is one of four archetypes (in bold) and one of three class selections for each archetype. The "Rise of the Godslayer" expansion brought on a new race, the Khitan.

Combat
Combat is based on attacking in different directions with a sword: For example, hacking down against the head, slashing diagonally down from the left and right, and slashing diagonally up from the left or right. These directions are designed to be strung together in combination naturally during combat. Difficult to perform combinations cause additional damage and strike more quickly.[8]
Funcom has said that their "Real Combat" system, a combat system designed to offer more real-time options than traditional Dungeons & Dragons-inspired "turn-based" combat systems that are more commonly used, will be a prime attraction of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. This "Real Combat" system is a first-person melee approach in which every enemy has three different areas that players can aim for. Combinations can be performed by stringing together consecutive attacks in particular directions. Feedback from players has pointed out that this system requires a certain degree of dexterity. Character statistics and item bonuses also play a role in this system, however item bonuses have less effect on a character's power than in comparable games, so that whilst equipment does play a certain role other factors also have an impact, such as the player's skill or their analysis of the scenario. The idea of "Real Combat" is to eliminate the dullness of typical MMO fighting, which often consists of an auto-attack feature.[9]
The "Real Combat" system is used in one-on-one weapon battles, as well as during spell-casting, ranged combat and mounted combat. In some situations however, players will choose to band together and unite their skills to face other bands of players or non-player armies. Players can then work together and build off each others strengths, for example a character standing in line with a 'Conqueror' when he is running will have a greater resistance to knockback effects.[10]
Players are able to take part in large scale siege operations. Adventurers can cooperate with one another to build cities with walls, towers and catapults that can protect player-owned taverns and merchant facilities.
The dance moves were made using motion capture on the dancer Hallgrim Hansegård, who is known as a backing dancer for the winner song of the Eurovision Song Contest 2009: "Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak.[11]
Setting
Main article: Hyborian Age

Age of Conan is set in a low fantasy pseudo-historical ancient world called the Hyborian Age, created by Robert E. Howard. The warlord Conan has seized the throne of Aquilonia, but ancient evils seek to overthrow him.
“ The Hyborian Age is like a dark, decadent, twisted and corrupt version of Euro-Asian history. Mix a bit of the Roman Empire, Mongolian culture and Babylonian mysticism with '30s-era myths of undiscovered Africa...[12] ” The lead artist Terje Lundberg said that the look and feel of Hyboria was based on the interpretation of the stories written by Robert E. Howard. "When you read Howard's work you're immediately drawn into a gritty world of dark and ancient forces, and mighty and decadent civilizations. You feel the great weight of the ages and sense the very history in the crumbling mortar and the ruins. Therefore we've been mindful from the outset to create a world which is true to Howard's writing. There is majesty in Hyboria but it's of a monolithic, brutal and primitive kind – it certainly isn't "high fairie" where everything appears as though it was built only yesterday and is devoid of context."[13]
Lundberg said the game at launch will contain three countries, Cimmeria, a northern country with snow and highlands, Aquilonia, which contains "green hills, lush riverbeds, and the marvelous city of Tarantia", and Stygia, which consists mostly of deserts and "some beautiful cities" — as well as the island of Tortage which "has a diverse geography ranging from jungle to harbors."[13]
Music and sound
Five principal individuals worked on the music and audio for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. The Audio Director is Morten Sørlie, who created the soundtrack for Anarchy Online – Shadowlands. Simon Poole (Lead Sound designer on "Dreamfall – The Longest Journey") took over as Audio Director in May 2007, and saw the project through to completion. The sound designers are Tord D. Nikolaisen and Fredrik Martol. Composer Knut Avenstroup Haugen wrote the musical score for the game.[14] To create a musical score for the Hyborian universe, Haugen turned to many different sources: For the music of the different ethnic groups, Haugen studied traditional music from relevant parts of the world. For the overall sound of the Hyborian Age, Haugen studied ancient and medieval music as well as the romantic orchestra repertoir and film scores, while avoiding conventions that connect too closely to specific historical periods.[15] The female vocalist heard in the score is Norwegian singer Helene Bøksle.[16] Norwegian punk rock artists Turbonegro contributed three bonus songs to the soundtrack CD, one of which was written specifically for the album.[17]
Knut Avenstroup Haugen won the IFMCA award for Best Original Score for a Video Game or Interactive Media for his score.[18]
Over 40 actors voiced the large cast of characters.[19] The recording was done at Side UK[20] in London, Side LA in California, and at Funcom in Norway.[21]
[edit] Technology

The game makes use of following technologies:
- Cheetah : Shader-oriented proprietary render engine re-written from scratch by Funcom featuring a phong per pixel lighting system. This engine allows for improved graphics and ambience. This is coupled with a trapezoidal shadow system, an in-house system developed by Funcom that allows all objects to cast shadows onto everything.[22]
- Perlin noise-based cloud generating system : Five-layered procedural system that enables multiple layers of dynamic clouds; thus, visually realistic cloud behavior.[22]
- DirectX 10 : A major update of DirectX API. Although advertised on the gamebox, the game did not include support for DirectX 10 at the time of launch. A preview of the DirectX 10 features was given at the Games Convention in Leipzig in August 2008. As of late March 2009, a DX10 client was released for all live servers.[24]
- Umbra : Umbra is GPU accelerated occlusion culling software developed by Umbra Software Ltd. Umbra's aim is to speed up the rendering of large worlds with a lot of overdraw.[citation needed]
