Age of Conan

Turn it into a single player RPG.  Remember how fun 1-20 was? Awesome fun right? How much did you group or even talk to others in that range? But it was damn fun was it not?  I loved the game 1-20. 20-30 was somewhat okay, afterwards just blah

Well expand that greatness higher then lvl 20, allow the single player to lead and control npc keep sieges. Allow the single player to murder and be hunted by bounty hunter NPC. The PvP ascpects of this game are fundamentally flawed. I say salvage it by turning it into an offline game. It would be easy to play good vs evil. The lands are already setup for it. The story is all there. Maybe I want the powers of Acheron to flow though me to be a vessel of evil destruction? Maybe I want to be a general in conan's army.

Basically make this game play somewhat like Oblivion without all the horrible slowness and grindyness of that game. Oblivion was a horrible min/max stats slow as can be game - don't want anyone to think I liked it. I want awesome action, great stories, voice over, video clips.

I'm for that.   I haven't played AoC, and doubt I will for two reasons: one being it demands a fairly beefy computer.   Mine is 5 years old with upgraded vid & sound cards as well as RAM, but I still think I would get a poor FPS from what I've read.   Second, I hate forced grouping.    Always have.

I like Oblivion in many ways, it had lots of interesting quests, varied towns, cool combat.   However, I do understand and agree with some of the negative things you've mentioned.

My mother always told me, if i did not have anything good or nice to say about someone or something, not to say anything at all.

That sounds familiar...

I think I heard that from my mother too!

Single player RPG will not do it any good.

You have to attack AoC in an unconventional way...with a blunt object and a lot of rage.

Well according to some rumored articles.  AoC was a complete game in early 2007.  All it needed was content and bug fixes.  Instead it got reworked completely in late 2007 and ended up a simpler game today.

If this previous build exist, I would say roll the game back to it for the PC market.

The only other fix is for Funcom to go bankrupt and a real company, with money, to buy them out and take over everything.

Simplification represents everything that is wrong with the state of todays MMORPG's.

Complexity for the win!

My mom always taught me that if people were defending utter crap, gank 'em. There is no "fixing" Age of Conman.

It's not an MMO if you make it single player.

I suggest throwing out the high graphic requirements. Make it a game that can handle many people in an instance. By default, you will less instancing. The areas will seem more alive. Then, merge what's left of the servers.

Create a living world. Let people with regular computers systems have access to the game.
