News for the Baninated Recently there have been several player bans in Funcom's new MMOG, Age of Conan． The player community has been asking for details as to what has happened and what players can do if they feel they have been wrongly banned． Today we were able to get the details from Funcom Senior Customer Service & QA Manager, Mathis．

We also upgraded our barbarian's skills, quickly filling up the hotkey slots with special lunges, overhead attacks and impressively grisly special kills that actually splatter blood on the screen. One particularly memorable melee match ended with us thrusting the oar into a character's chest, pushing them down to the ground and twisting the wooden weapon right through them before grunting and reefing it out.

Age of Conan allows for a limited time single player experience, which you can use to get accustomed to the game, user interface and controls． Of course it's not all about learning, plenty of adventure also awaits you during this time． In the single player portion of Age of Conan you may still communicate with others on the same server． Although you may spend as long as you like exploring the beach and jungle, you should be able to reach the city of Tortage within an hour, at which time you will begin to see other players． Once you hit Tortage you are able to switch between the single player story (night) and multiplayer stories (day) freely．

After a few more games we started learning the cues． Auras surround character's protected areas． So if we saw an opening above the character's head a downward slash would be used． If they were unarmoured on the left, we'd attack accordingly． You have to be swift, fast on your feet and a quick thinker． The combat gets quite deep and having the right attacks hot keyed to the numerical keys was essential． You'd find yourself trying to use a deadly equation of 1's, 2's and 8's． The games were fierce and fast, bloody and utterly engaging． We would have liked more modes of PvP combat but what we got was great - even though our poor barbarian was frequently battered about．

According to the NPD Group Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures is topping the sales charts surpassing World of Warcraft in their recent sales charts． This quite a feat to say the least as it also topped the chart in the number one slot while the Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures Collector's Edition took the number three slot． It probably missed the number two slot due to the fact they sold out． This week we continue the Cryer post launch coverage as we take a look at some of the top discussions and great content for the Age of Conan community． Ten Ton Hammer has been pumping out game related goodies and guide content and you can expect that flood of information to continue． The discussion has been raging across the forums since launch as the community settles in and the battle for the Border Kingdoms begin．

Summing Up Another Week in Hyboria Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures has officially launched and the masses are flocking through Hyboria as we speak. With AoC officially live Ten Ton Hammer has been rolling out loads of content and the Border Kingdom Cryer is here to summarize this week's content and the top pieces of discussion across the forums.

Ok so. My collectors edition of AoC arrived today. Figured I'll do a detailed report on its contents for all of you who didn't pay the extra cash to get it and show what you're missing out on. Just be glad I didn't make a video of it cause I probably sounded exactly like this guy (Was so hard to find this video on Youtube since it has been ages since I last saw it and apparently tons of people document their macbook unboxing (Wonder why?). I searched through at least two pages of macbook unboxing videos and couldn't find it. I remembered that the guy sounded orgasmic so I gave the keywords "Macbook unboxing orgasmic" a shot and there we go! The first result in the search.

Reservations Although the art direction has produced a rich, nuanced world environment, users who demand leading-edge visuals will have to wait at least a few more months for DirectX 10 support. Despite enormous amounts of source material to draw on, the lore element isn't always obvious; for instance, a number of the quests could take place in nearly any fantasy setting.

June 27, 2008 - Released in May, Funcom's Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures takes players to an ancient, dark period where great kingdoms clash in feudal conflicts. As members of 12 diverse classes, they can live, fight and explore in a world based on over 75 years of books, movies, art and other materials.

Associate Producer on Age of Conan, Henning Solberg, is more than happy to shed light on this darkest of dungeons: "On the mountain side overlooking Kheshatta stands The Black Ring Citadel," Solberg explains. "Inside its closed gates the Stygian mages conduct research, breath life into rock and create plots to increase their influence and power in the world of Hyboria. Unwelcome visitors will encounter nameless evil and boundless terror if they dare to journey into this heart of darkness."We are a professional, loyal and reliable cheap AoC gold store online.
