If you like MMO’s, you’ve probably spent the last couple of years spending the equivalent time on World of Warcraft that you have at work (probably more…) and shed any semblance of personal relationships to avoid distractions from raiding – I know I’ve spent my dues. WoW is to gamers as crack is to… well, a crack head.

Once I kicked the habbit (World of Warcraft, not crack – yet) I swore to myself I would never again delve into such a grindfest ever again. There was still, however, a void… all the good things that came from WoW. Then I hear about a game in development – this ‘Age of Conan’ by Funcom. Anarchy Online was (in theory) a good game… and thus I crossed my fingers, hoping for that level of complexity and originality to carry over into a better executed (and prettier) package. Was the wait worth it? For me – hell yes!
