Having no experience whatsoever with this genre of games, I was in a bit of a quandary when it came to creating my first character. (I have since then read a bit of Howard, and found him very enjoyable.) I started playing AoC less than a week after release it was my first MMO game, and remains the only one I’ve played so far. I was only very vaguely aware of the whole Conan thing until then I’d seen the two movies from the 1980s but hadn’t read any of Howard’s original stories. I first heard about Age of Conan not long before its release, and found myself attracted to the low-fantasy world in which it promised to take place. In any case I consider it a lucky outcome as it meant I avoided the unpleasant experience of enduring low population followed by a merger into a bigger server. Maybe it was simply a matter of random chance. I played all this time on the Crom PvE server it was obvious to me from the start that I don’t want to have anything to do with PvP, but I’m not sure how I ended up choosing Crom instead of any of the other 5 or so PvE servers that were available at the time. I guess I might just as well use this About page to tell a bit about my history in Age of Conan.
