Thanks goes to Athen Paladins for hosting a site for the videos and these great shots. Anyone who says AO wasn't playable because of its graphics may want to think about that decision.

AO is still alive!

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.

MMO''s are my business, and business is good!

This great news! Now I am strongly considering coming back to AO.

Heh, I remember how many people thought I was lying when I kept saying it was coming.

 

I'm uploading a copy of the hi-def vid to megaupload right now, since the links are down for those. I'll post the link when it's done in about 10 minutes.

The youtube link works though: www.youtube.com/watch

Edit: here's the megaupload link to download the hi-def vid, just enter whatever security code it ask for and hit download: www.megaupload.com/

Don''t Panic!!!!

Looks really good.

I am curious about what they plan to do with the character models and a few other things.

One issue I always had with the game was the lacking vehicle selection with both ground and flight. Also the absence of space and ships. Its Sci-Fi and I'm all about sh*t that flies...really fast. Ground trudging is for fantasy slugs.

Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

Can you play with the new engine now, or is it something coming in a near future?

Stand up for what you believe; Even if you stand alone.

Not quite yet.  But as stated by Torak, I also wonder what happens to all the models.  Newly redone models for characters and items such as armour and weapons or will it stay as the old art, sticking out in a beautifully re-rendered world? Hmm.

Well I'm almost 1000% sure they wouldn't do that.

I am just interested because AO has such a huge variety of weapons, armor and equipment. I can't wait to see what they do with it.

I'm pretty sure I'm in also unless they keep the new engine to the paying subscribers only.

I'm really in a "retro" mood lately mainly because so many of the MMO's of the last few years are so damn simplistic. I just got my old AC account from years past  recovered and an upgraded AO would make a full and complete fantasy / Sci-Fi combo. Thats a line up of some real 5 star games. Now...to just get Turbine to redo the AC engine....

Add Fallen Earth to the mix and what else could you want in gaming?

The only difference between a Troll and a Fanboi is which side of the fence they stand on.

Wow... that makes me want to relive my Engi who grinded up to level 237, and was capable of making Stilletos...
