Age of Conan has some good deals on subscription prices at the moment. I took advantage of the discounts and subscribed for three months for $36. That’s practically a “buy 2 months get 1 free” deal. There’s even better deals for longer subscriptions, and you can get a years worth for the [...]
As anyone who ever followed my blog can tell, I’ve been on hiatus for a while. I had a lot of real life stuff going on and I just didn’t feel like writing, so I thought I’d take a break. Days turned to weeks and before you know it, months. But I’m [...]
It’s been a while since I spoke about Age of Conan, and there’s a reason for that. I haven’t been playing it. Well, not much anyway. My Priest of Mitra is level 76 and I’ve pretty much lost interest in him. The latest Game Update was good news, and I tried [...]

I am well into the home stretch this time around, and I can’t help but reminisce. It was in early 2008 that I decided I would try Age of Conan. I pre-ordered my Collector’s Edition and started playing on release. I tried a number of classes. I confess, I found the slight change in combat [...]
