Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me ive installed the game (ive previously played it) yeah so basicly it wont let me play once ive downloaded it it comes up with play i click on that and it just returns to my desktop please get back to me i really want to start playing again...
O MY GAWD ....*orgasm* :o brb changing pants.......ok back and damn it my game isnt finished downloading ...im going barbarian D:< from the free version of AOC,,,, i cant believe i can finally level past 20!
don't waste your time on this game. It's broken. Why do you think it went free to play? They subscribers from the broken version that people could play and they never gathered enough subscribers because the work you have to go through to actually get into the game isn't even worth it and has a very high chance of not even working.
The forum is packed full of complaints about the game not working going as far back as 3 years ago and they never fixed it.

its not real f2p. To play the whole game, you must pay for every single ini. Its just a testaccount until lvl 80. But FC wants to sell many shop-only-items, which still increase your powers ingame and selfrezz-food etc. maybe they need money for secret world^^
@Tackzi That's bullshit. Since the game launched, FunCom has overcompensated big time for the bad launch, and players are now swimming in content to level 80, just from the open world game play. The instances are superfluous now, and I guess the only reason they have to be unlocked is that they are as good entertainment as going to the movies. Ever done Black Castle?? Man, the Indiana Jones moments alone are priceless. I would give FunCom 50$ for that experience alone!
NONONONNONONONONONONONO FUNCOM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DO-NOT-RUIN AOC WITH F2P ITEM MALLS AND MICRO PAYMENTS........ bye bye Age of Conan....... and happy travel to among other MMORPG's ruined by F2P crap.....i bet that when this is F2P even making guild city pays like 5-10€, let me guess level restriction 50-60, if you want 80 you need to pay 5€?
@TheDoggyProductions Champions has huge item mall and sucky premium account that provides you only something better, but still over half of costume pieces are locked and need extra payment
@wastedproperty i was hyped at first, I never got a chance to play this game and when I actually see a chance to play this game for "free", I find out how much bullcrap you have to give up and how you can't even buy a good mount unless your a sub.
and, hehe, i think about it when 3 trillion barbars are gimping in high level content realising that u must buy the game or u can leave, beacause is meaningless to continue.. u think gamers are then buying the game? they say, fuck u ncsoft, go do games with others, i dont buy.. and after the good release of age of conan, its really exactly what the world needs for success ;)
I had payed 2 age of conan versions, this means i had payed 50 euro or more, is it to much asked, that i can play the game for free? god thx guild wars 2 is coming out.. and this practices will die like the games using it.. ;)
@roargathor : The problem is that is just a fake etiquette, to say its free, when u have not the same chances as a itemshop buyer. dont understand me wrong, i am a programmer and have the money to buy, but i will not do beacause of my principles. i dont want this practices in games, i dont want to exclude ppl from my group just beacause in real life they are not so succesful like others..
ncsoft will loose the last credibility with this action and i predict, in 1 yeahr age of conan is totally free or the game will definitly die forever.
@Nixblicker10 ok am not here from the start and i dunno whats goin on but can u plz explain what does NCsoft have 2 do with AoC and why r u spitting so much at them?
nothing is free! all raids except 2 are blocked for premium user, old players can not use their fast mount and must pay extra, u can only choose 2 character to play.. sory but under free i have another understanding of this.
its in fact a great danger to mmos, beacause they install a 2 class society like RL in games.. imagine you play with someone and he tells you, he cannot participate the raid, beacause he is poor. nice new world...
@Nixblicker10 Umm... the premium subscription is only the same price as every other paid mmo out there. If you want to play the free content you can do so. If you want to see all that hyborea has to offer then you pay the measly 15 a month. How is this a problem?
All unrated means is that the game is Free to Play with some exceptions. A.k.a Limited number of character slots and classes to choose from, however all the content for the first game 'Hyborian Adventures' is available with the exception of like some dungeons and raids I think.
@mermoqqueijo Unrated means they do not have to submit content to be rated by the ESRB. This means they can get more "creative" with fatalities and other adult content if they want to without any red tape holding them back. The game will always be faithful to REH source material.
I can't believe people are complaining, it's FREE TO PLAY you don't have to give a shit to play the game, they also need to make money remember? Get the game for free is something you should be happy for.
@uratoko Umm no. You dont pay to win. Paid items will never be as powerful as the items earned through gameplay. However you may not ever get access to the best items unless you pay for access to the game content. How is that different than in any other game, and how is being able to play though the majority of the game without paying a dime a bad thing?
is the unrated age of conan a new game and when they say free to play they meen no visa and no game card and play your guy as far of the game as you want
@Yrmaas23 can some1 explain something to me..my mom had this game and she says it sucks..i never played it. do you guys think i should download it..i have the disk i want opinions though :P
@nightseifer Well, ppl have to make money out of something, ya know? Pay bills etc.?? This is a AAA-MMORPG. Beautiful piece of art. I don't remember seeing anything about "100% / complete / from point A to Z free 2 play." It all depends on what YOU think free to play should be. Actually, the game IS free to play, to a certain degree. The way things are planed now, the game will be very accessible in its new f2p form and much better then just a simplet Tortage (starting zone) trial. Look it up.
i like pay to play games going free to play cause they can let you play and entertain yourself for a while instead playing the same games over and over again...but getting to pay for the premium items is a trap...you will pay more than double youd pay for a monthly retail ...so in my opinion best choice is to play without paying anything and play more casual till guild wars 2 or tera or any other really anticipating games will come out!
yeah free to play like champions online which is in fact a game with an unlimited trial rather than free to play game, they try to lure players with false promises...
@Blazer951 Premium players only have more character slots, and couple more dungeons and classes to play with. There are also few minor details,such as mount availability, but good thing is that free players can access whole content,from beginning to end, except the aforementioned.
@deeeyon Thats a dumb way to look at it.They didn't make any false promises at all. You can play most of the game without any restrictions.If you want additional content,you pay for it.Those who were already paying remain on same, at same time developer earns more money and allows the game to spread and player base gets bigger, which is good for all.Not only that, but if you aren't sure whether to buy the game,now you can try it out first and for longer,unlike previous trials (if there were any)
@Gaurnor Lotr is another examples age of conan will probably be the same, although there is a tiny chance they will balance free and paying users. The bad thing is that people are misled by "free to play" label given to many p2p games and they discover that paying users have an upper hand only after a month or so. After they find out that the f2p was only a gimmick they quit the game anyway or start buying things to be able to play. So its basically still a pay 2 play game...
@deeeyon I played LOTRO as a free player to max lvl and I never ever noticed any difference between free and premium users,except a little more grinding for points.Champions online is a bit specific, because of unique class system, but thats mostly PvE oriented game,so it doesnt matter so much.What you are referring to is PvP aspects,and its same for all "f2p" mmos,not only ex-p2p.I'll say it again,we get to play games for free.If you want to be absolutely equal to premiums,you missed something
@Gaurnor if you haven't notice difference it is probably because you're monitor wasn't plugged. In most of the cases free to play model is a fiction where you end up paying or quiting. So what im pointing at its advertising it as "free to play" call it "Champion's online with some free elements" and it will be true. Still Age of Conan might be balanced, it happens sometimes.
@Gaurnor well even if free to play users dont pay for anything they are still good for the game because when there are more people in the game its better... so even making a game free to play has it own advantages ... when warhammer online go f2p :((
@deeeyon But by your words, it seems as if you want a completely free game,and thats stupid to expect. Like I said, if you were already paying, then you get everything same except bigger player base,which means more people to hang out with it. If you weren't paying,now you can play excellent games without paying,even if you can't access it all. But it is free,and thats most important.
@deeeyon yeah, if they made it half n' half, i would consider f2p, but when they slash a large majority of the content and give you like.....1/5th of it....that's just frikkin bs
@deeeyon What the hell are you talking about? Champions Online is F2P. The only things you cant play as a silver member is the 3 adventure packs, but you dont need those to reach endgame!
@deeeyon being a f2p, I have no problem what so ever taking down a p2p member in pvp. At least I can play a game I like even if 20% of it (the non vital parts) I cant play. Thats way better than some f2p games out there like LOTRO, Everquest 2, or DDO.
@deeeyon I don't see they ever promised a 100% (from point A to Z all the way) free to play game. Honestly, ppl nowadays want everything at its fullist for free. Devs have things to pay, too. I wouldn't work fulltime for free. It's only normal, that they want to make money out of it SOMEHOW. Actually, the game will offer a lot of FREE content (most of the "normal" game, minus the expansion). AoC has come a long way, since its critical launch. I wish this game a strong and successful relaunch.
@deeeyon Except that champions online lets players go through the entire game for free, the expansions (Which should cost money anyway) are practically the only things you pay for besides cosmetic items and a few extra classes, so stop bitching, your lucky these games are free AT ALL
@FriskyCrash your crying coz my comments is top rated and it so because all normal ppl know im right. There are F2P games and false F2P games. And just to let you know there are plenty of fully free to play games with balanced cash shop better than champions online.
@MrGenelis01 Just a slight correction - the shitty mmorpgs are turning f2p, the solid ones, with a nice, stable playerbase are staying the way they should be - you pay some low fee every month and get the full content, instead of playing for "free" and being cut off from 80% of the game, while getting owned by people, pumping hundreds of cash into the "free" game.
@Dazoto Not sure why are you complaining.If you were willing to pay for game,then you'll get everything as you would before.If you weren't,then this way you can play for free,unlike before.On other note, every "free" MMO up to date had same model.P2P mmo's are now also changing to this model because they earn more money that way and keep player base big enough.I'm pretty satisfied with MMOs that were P2P and now are F2P,they are pretty balanced and you can access all of the important content.
@Gaurnor First of all, I'm not complaining. Second - you answered yourself in the end of your post - "they earn more money that way" - well, duh, exactly what I mean. When you pay, say $15 a month, that's all the money needed and you get everything a game has to offer, also no one gets advantage over the other players, just be cause he has more money to shed. But with the F2P it's a different story - you need to spend, as I said, literally hundreds of dollars to "get it all".
@Gaurnor Also, I don't see WoW going F2P any time soon, nor the upcomming ToR, nor Rift. But, as I said again - Solid mmorpgs are staying and will be P2P, shitty ones are going F2P.
@Dazoto rift will go F2P you will see... WoW cant go free 2 play because they release an expansion pack and they add new stuff everytime is needed improved graphics and so on
@razekery Perhaps you are right, but I'm not so sure. AoC was a fail ever since it first launched, day 1. While Rift is going strong, from what I last read about it, it has well over 1 million players, which is impressive.
@Dazoto dont get me wrong but 1 milion players is lame for a game like that... i mean i know older games with almost 2 milion playerbase rift should go F2P with item mall.. because having a game where you can decide to pay for boots and having a game where you need to pay to play it its a big difference

@Gaurnor Lotr is another examples age of conan will probably be the same, although there is a tiny chance they will balance free and paying users. The bad thing is that people are misled by "free to play" label given to many p2p games and they discover that paying users have an upper hand only after a month or so. After they find out that the f2p was only a gimmick they quit the game anyway or start buying things to be able to play. So its basically still a pay 2 play game...

@deeeyon I played LOTRO as a free player to max lvl and I never ever noticed any difference between free and premium users,except a little more grinding for points.Champions online is a bit specific, because of unique class system, but thats mostly PvE oriented game,so it doesnt matter so much.What you are referring to is PvP aspects,and its same for all "f2p" mmos,not only ex-p2p.I'll say it again,we get to play games for free.If you want to be absolutely equal to premiums,you missed something

@Gaurnor if you haven't notice difference it is probably because you're monitor wasn't plugged. In most of the cases free to play model is a fiction where you end up paying or quiting. So what im pointing at its advertising it as "free to play" call it "Champion's online with some free elements" and it will be true. Still Age of Conan might be balanced, it happens sometimes.

@Gaurnor well even if free to play users dont pay for anything they are still good for the game because when there are more people in the game its better... so even making a game free to play has it own advantages ... when warhammer online go f2p :((

@razekery My point exactly :D
Gaurnor 9 months ago
@deeeyon But by your words, it seems as if you want a completely free game,and thats stupid to expect. Like I said, if you were already paying, then you get everything same except bigger player base,which means more people to hang out with it. If you weren't paying,now you can play excellent games without paying,even if you can't access it all. But it is free,and thats most important.
Gaurnor 9 months ago
@deeeyon No. in champions online you do have access to most of the game..... but to have any fun you need to pay (:

@deeeyon yeah, if they made it half n' half, i would consider f2p, but when they slash a large majority of the content and give you like.....1/5th of it....that's just frikkin bs

@deeeyon What the hell are you talking about? Champions Online is F2P. The only things you cant play as a silver member is the 3 adventure packs, but you dont need those to reach endgame!

@GrimmSamurai and the thing that you have to play fixed archetypes makes the game absolutely free and fair to play /clap

@deeeyon being a f2p, I have no problem what so ever taking down a p2p member in pvp. At least I can play a game I like even if 20% of it (the non vital parts) I cant play. Thats way better than some f2p games out there like LOTRO, Everquest 2, or DDO.

@deeeyon I don't see they ever promised a 100% (from point A to Z all the way) free to play game. Honestly, ppl nowadays want everything at its fullist for free. Devs have things to pay, too. I wouldn't work fulltime for free. It's only normal, that they want to make money out of it SOMEHOW. Actually, the game will offer a lot of FREE content (most of the "normal" game, minus the expansion). AoC has come a long way, since its critical launch. I wish this game a strong and successful relaunch.

Rezsha56 8 months ago
@deeeyon Except that champions online lets players go through the entire game for free, the expansions (Which should cost money anyway) are practically the only things you pay for besides cosmetic items and a few extra classes, so stop bitching, your lucky these games are free AT ALL

@FriskyCrash your crying coz my comments is top rated and it so because all normal ppl know im right. There are F2P games and false F2P games. And just to let you know there are plenty of fully free to play games with balanced cash shop better than champions online.

MrGenelis01 9 months ago
@MrGenelis01 Just a slight correction - the shitty mmorpgs are turning f2p, the solid ones, with a nice, stable playerbase are staying the way they should be - you pay some low fee every month and get the full content, instead of playing for "free" and being cut off from 80% of the game, while getting owned by people, pumping hundreds of cash into the "free" game.
Dazoto 9 months ago
@Dazoto Not sure why are you complaining.If you were willing to pay for game,then you'll get everything as you would before.If you weren't,then this way you can play for free,unlike before.On other note, every "free" MMO up to date had same model.P2P mmo's are now also changing to this model because they earn more money that way and keep player base big enough.I'm pretty satisfied with MMOs that were P2P and now are F2P,they are pretty balanced and you can access all of the important content.
Gaurnor 9 months ago
@Gaurnor First of all, I'm not complaining. Second - you answered yourself in the end of your post - "they earn more money that way" - well, duh, exactly what I mean. When you pay, say $15 a month, that's all the money needed and you get everything a game has to offer, also no one gets advantage over the other players, just be cause he has more money to shed. But with the F2P it's a different story - you need to spend, as I said, literally hundreds of dollars to "get it all".
Dazoto 9 months ago
@Gaurnor Also, I don't see WoW going F2P any time soon, nor the upcomming ToR, nor Rift. But, as I said again - Solid mmorpgs are staying and will be P2P, shitty ones are going F2P.
Dazoto 9 months ago
@Dazoto rift will go F2P you will see... WoW cant go free 2 play because they release an expansion pack and they add new stuff everytime is needed improved graphics and so on
razekery 9 months ago
@razekery Perhaps you are right, but I'm not so sure. AoC was a fail ever since it first launched, day 1. While Rift is going strong, from what I last read about it, it has well over 1 million players, which is impressive.
Dazoto 9 months ago
@Dazoto dont get me wrong but 1 milion players is lame for a game like that... i mean i know older games with almost 2 milion playerbase rift should go F2P with item mall.. because having a game where you can decide to pay for boots and having a game where you need to pay to play it its a big difference

So cruel and misleading when it said "Play it today" when what they mean is that you can play the free trial of the p2p version...
