The End of a Story almost 4 years long

It's about time to post it.

After a really long period in which I didn't really spent time on either playing AoC or testing anything related to it, after taking the decision to take a break for a while this is the right moment to step down.

Age of Conan has been a great experience, I enjoyed playing that game despite the rants about the unbalance, about the development and about the FunCom on the overall.
After almost 4 years this game sounds to me like an old song, nice to hear but really not addicting nor exciting anymore, it gave me what he had to gave, but after Turan it slowly fell to oblivion.

My opinion is still that the combat system of Age of Conan could have brought it to the highest peaks of the MMO world, but the way it has been handled during all this years, the way it became a full PvE game just disappointed me over any limit.

I started to play this game lured by the blood, the fatalities, the chances to cut the head off the neck of many people and to have mine cutted off even more times, I saw it change day by day to a PvE factory, where gear and perks have become far more important of your skills, I lived with it as I loved the game, now I want to change though, because I felt betrayed.
If you advertise a game as a PvP game and you transform it into a PvE game you are not correct toward your customers, declare it PvE based with PvP degrees here and there and you would have avoided many complaints.

I still love the game but I need a change, that's it.

So the Temple will be closed, its fires smothered and ashes and dusts will claim these halls.

Thanks to those who visited this blog, to those who wrote and to those who sponsored and incited me behind the scenes.

Keep killing in the name of Xotli, and Have fun in Hyboria!


Farewell!
