Age of Conan content Single Player Mode

The first 20 levels of the game are a single player. They are creating a full-fledged stand-alone game that gives you a story-driven role-playing experience where the focus is on you, your character, and your journey. There are four different arcs of the story - one per core class - Rogue, Mage, Priest and Warrior. It is a traditional RPG with a lot of freedom in character development and movement, but where certain events are pre-ordained.

Since the characters entering our realm will meet other honest players, it is important to as much as possible limit cheating and exploits. For this reason they have decided to host the first 20 levels in an online environment. Although you play on their servers, you will play the single-player game as if it was offline, without any additional costs other than when you bought the game.

The degree to which you will be completely alone will also vary. You start completely alone, but in some locations you can theoretically meet other players - to enhance the experience and importance of what you do.

Everyone "comes to life" as a slave. Everyone has strange, disturbing, marks on their chests. In the bowels of a slave ship, you select your race and looks among the rowers. Everyone will as much recreate who they were, as make a new life. Everyone will participate in tracking down the evil force behind it all.

After having your shackles torn lose when your slave ship gets rammed by a another galley, in the midst of a massive storm, you will swing the chains and smash the brains out of your tormentors, before you dive to the waters, escaping the sinking slave vessel. The next day, you find yourself on the beautiful beach, a rosy morning where the deep jungle stretches before you. You are somewhere on the Barrachan isles, and your true adventure begins.

You will then fight your way through the jungle. Battling monstrous apes, forlorn Picts and even darker beings. Finally, you will stumble through the gates of the freebooter village of Tortage. Then you will have gained some levels of experience, and will be ready to select your class at level five.

And at level twenty you will be able to enter the multi-player world. After that, your story continues. This means that, even though you enter the multiplayer universe, you will, at some time, return to the world you left behind, seek out certain key characters, and need to participate in story-driven activities. Conan will definitely be part of this story arc. This story will not develop except during expansions and content updates.

Zitat von »JTR«

Das Feeling wie bei Diablo 1 (meiner Meinung nach um Welten besser als Teil 2 wo leider jeder zaubern konnte und ab Akt 3 ich aus Langweile ab den langweiligen Leveldesign aufgehört habe) ist bei keinem anderen Rollenspiel bisher aufgekommen. Ich meine die Sammlerwut. Jedesmal wenn man ein Buch auf den Boden fallen hat hören, ist man vor Euphorie schier gestorben. Ein Diablo 1 mit moderner Grafik (aber die düstere Atmo müsste erhalten bleiben) wäre genau das richtige für mich.
