  • To make an comparison, Hyboria is about 1/3rd the size of Azeroth, if you've played wow.

  • Im not playing this anymore, Im playing the new game called "Aion".

  • is this A BIG? game?

  • It looks like the real world because it IS the real world...

  • how many players are online Approx?

  • Omg guys calm down. If you dotn paly the game please to not throw out info, save yourself the embarrastment. BUT, i know alot of you are reluctant to play this game from the bad things that happened in the beggining of the game. But believe me when i tell you now that it has really opened up and it is a blast. In my educated opinion on Wow and Aoc I can tell you that Aoc is well on its way to catching if not beating Wow altogether

  • i have never played this game nor do i want to........

    But the tune is really nice this video gets 5 stars because of the tune mint tell your friend he did i great job from me plz

  • thx man, will do

  • is the world of age of conan open worldlike world of warcraft and starwars galaxie o is it like diablo a intances world where you go from intances to intances o is it fulll out open you go any where whit your mount at all time no intances

  • no its not that open as I thought the game would be. it has pretty small areas and lots of loading screens. but the game is pretty good, depending on what kind of games you like.

  • aoc 'countries' Stygia, Cimmeria, Aquilonia...stygia is made of 3 zones, aquilonia and cimmeria have more but world size is about 20% of wow's world size i believe...(havent played wow that much)...

    game is awesome tho dont let this spoil it to you...

  • i mean i love aoc and everything but if you dont play the game dont answer :s

    aoc has HUGE problems with world size+its instanced...

    aoc world size is as big as the size of the real world?...play the game dude

    just tell me(the maker of this video) why did you upload a map of hyboria and say its aoc world map?whats the point of that lie?

  • hej dude. this was the aoc world map, this is what they said the world was going to look like. and look when it was uploaded dipshit. it was before the release. I know the world map is alot smaller but this was still the world map we were shown. so dont you gag on some shit that im a liar and shit, search on google for "aoc world map" and you will find this.

  • what?!this is hyboaria map by Howard, author of the book....not the world map of aoc what the heck are you on about?

  • but how big it is?

  • the same size as the real world

  • you kidding right?

  • name of song plz... :)

    Holy SHIT THAT WORLD IS MASSIVE!!!

  • I really liked the music :)

    Good job!

  • Is that true?

    That means...Funcom is already working on the expansions, damn and I haven't even got this game yet.

  • Well, Robert E. Howard did base his work on a lost age on our planet, so it's only natural that there are similarities between Hyboria and our world.

    Even the Nile River is there (renamed as Styx though.)

  • looks like pangea without the americas or antarctica

  • shitty song and for what this film ?? we all nows that hyboria is our world but only 20000 bc

  • when you learn english I will answer your questions.

  • you dont need to answer my question idiot ... so tell your friend that he is a stupid :] teach some polish dumb fag

  • that he is a stupid? what? l2s tard. and if you dont like it, then shut the fuck up and do something better with your life.

  • Aquilonians are based on the Romans, Cimmerians on some sort of Vikings and Stygians ar of course based on the Egyptians.

  • It's true that the Aquilonians got the Roman culture, in the theatrical trailer you can see how their armour looks abit like what the Romans had.

  • Do I want the song? hell no waste of space on my comp lol

  • to bad for U

  • Nice song, what's the name?

  • my friends made it, so you cant find it on the internet

  • Oh ok.

  • In world of warcraft it took me 1hour 23mins to travle from darnassus to tanaris by walking other than boat to darkshore. And thats just kalimdor, still need to walk from one side of outland to the other and eastern kingdoms too.

    Havn't played AoC yet so I wouldn't know how long that would be, sure looks big though :) Though I've heard you can only explore 3 areas? :( Perhaps later expansions will open other areas? :]

    I'm not playing till they fix bugs so I can play with limited problems :D

  • Lmao now watch... ppl are gonna be like OMFG AOC IS COPYING THE WORLD NOW... i can wait :)

  • u can only explor Aqulonia, Cimmeria, and Sygia which u see in the left hand side of the map, That's about 10% of the whole map. : /

  • and people can lash out at me all they want, this is my thóught of view. there are some good things, but it just isn't enough.

  • This game was unfortunately a failure. the graphics will make the sieges fail. why? because its to good, people have 15 fps when they run alone. Imagine 100 people in one spot. The city building sucks, aint that special as you thought it was gonna be. world pvp = ganking. they will add powerpoints, which means that you will have to grind mobs and shit at lvl 80. grinding is the most annoying thing of them all. 50 - 80 = all grinding. epic fail by funcom, sorry. I cancelled my subscription today.

  • the game wasnt a failure. I think its funny, and its not grinding 50-80. but the cistern and main system is something they should do something about. and my fps is around 20-40.

  • Dude im sorry... your in idiot, its a new game and its gonna have its Bugs and other flaws, just like WoW, GW, and any other MMO. And yes they are working on those bugs right now

  • yeah but they sure as hell aren't working on those shitty powerpoints, and there isn't much they will be able to do about it when people lag their asses off in sieges. anyways, everyone are entitled to an opinion.

  • maybe..but they prolly open more of the world for an expansion

  • its a bit of scam tho, you can only be in like,,,,1/10 of that world

  • ye but I think you need to explore the rest. but im not sure.

  • It looks like the real world cause that's what its based off of. Even the people in the countries are based on the real world. Aquilonia is supposed to be France, including how snobby they are, but they treat Cimmeria like Great Britain treats Scotland; a land of wild barbarians. Places like Afghulistan, Iranistan, and Nemedia are easily recognizable as Afghanitan, Iran, and Numidia. Btw, this is all from Marvel's first Conan comic, "The Official Handbook of the Conan Universe."

  • I think Aquilonians are based on Greeks, Cimmeria is more like Scandinavia, not England and Stygians based on Egyptians ofcourse.

  • brilliantly put!!

  • I was talking about the people, though. Not the area itself. the aquilonians are very pompous and royal, like the french, and act liek british people did towards the scots, or, in this case, the cimmerians

  • Aquilonia was supposed to be like the Late Roman empire combined with France. Cimmerians are supposed to be old Atlantean stock, and sort of like the dark Irish. Stygians are supposed to be a left over from the Empire of Archeron and will become the Egyptians eventually. Picts are Picts :D

  • Watch out for the picts!

  • pangea

  • Can someone tell me ALL the available characters?

  • Healers: 1.Bear Shaman 2.Tempest of Set 3.Priest of Mitra Soldiers: 1.Guardian 2.Conqueror 3.Dark Templar Rogue: 1.Barbar 2.Assassin 3.Ranger Mage: 1.Herald of Xotli 2.Necromancer 3.Demonologist
  • sry on "rogue: 1.barbar" its ofc barbarian

  • cant someone make a game there we are in the world we know :S then i could come to my hometown and do nothing :]

  • You could build it in Second Life - but then you would obliged to become a furry diaper fetish peadophile to be allowed to remain in the game. You'll have to settle for circling above it in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

  • the funny thing is that, that was the way the world look like for 200 million years ago.. i could find a link where you can see a picture of it

  • i wonder how long it would take to cross all of the map from side to side? im guessing and hour or so of play time.

  • an hour to cross the whole map?youre on crack lol its about twice as big as wow's world and in wow it takes about 20 mins to walk over 1 ZONE

  • No in wow it takes hardly 5 minutes.

  • 5 minutes to walk over the world? oh shut the fuck up aoc pwns wow but youre realy uber stupid

  • You're the one who claims it takes 20 minutes to walk through a single zone in WoW...It most certainly does not take nearly that long.

  • In wow it takes hardly 5 minutes to walk over "1 ZONE" smartasss, not the whole world..

  • 5 minutes for 1 zone ya? 1 hour to walk over all the zones :-O

  • It depends on the zone. Some zones are huge and some are tiny.  Horde zones tend to be larger.

  • True, like The Barrens.

  • It is just like the old world (Eurasia) with the Mediteranean sea. e.g. Khitai = China

  • They actually built Khitai into the game? Awesome. I still haven't got the game. I was worried they world would only consist of Stygia and the Hyborian kingdoms. I'm heading Shem asap in that case!

  • I found out that my fears were justified - the game consists only of Stygia, Cimmeria and the Hyborian kingdoms. For now atleast. My foray to Shem and Turan to kill A-rabs will have to wait.

  • it looked like Africa on the west side

  • We didn't properly know about plate tectonics until the 1960's.

    R.E.Howard wrote his books in 1920's - 1930's

  • It's supposed to look like the real world... it pretty much IS the real world.

    Robert.E.Howard set Hyboria in a fictional age of Earth, somewhere between 10,000 BC and 15,000 BC. It's set before ancient Egypt even, before any of the known civilizations.

    Also, he wrote these books during a time when 'plate tectonics' was just a theory, not an exact science.

    The reason why Europe is frozen is because its an ice-age, and that ice would later melt to become the Mediterranean Sea, etc.

  • i just read a review on a website that stated that the conan geography is... earth, before the continents split. like this video says

    lol

  • how come the map looks like africa with a tumor?

  • fuck you!

  • fuck who?

  • what is the name of this song???^^

  • you cant download it. cuz my friend made it

  • I like this video and I think the music is very good nice job! keep working!

  • thx mate^^

  • where places like pakistan and afganistan are supposed to be there are parts what names end in "stan" :P

  • aww wtf i want that song its really good. i got a few songs ive made that i would give out if people liked em. that song is kinda addicting and the end gets really good.

  • That map is way off, the hills and mountains of cimmeria are what are now the british isles and ireland.

  • This is pretty spot on to Howards original maps.

  • Infact it's 100% accurate for Howard's maps. Atleast, the bits Howard actually drew. Howard never drew any maps of the Far East or most of the Black Kingdoms south of Kush (southern Africa in other words). His map just has arrows pointing off the edge saying "Khitai" etc.

  • it looks ALOT like Africa on the left side... trawfle

  • anyone know the name of that song? its intoxicating lol

  • It gave me a fucking migrain. Felt like i was in an Ibitha club.

  • then go back to your cave emo

  • my friend made it

  • Omg lol seriously? You didn't realise the point of RE Howard's Hyborian age is to create an antediluvian setting on planet earth? :O:O:O

    But really, it's supposed to resemble Earth

  • make alittle guild city in asgard, which is norway and sweden

  • and Denmark

  • The more I read Conan the more I realise just how much influence it had on Tolkien.

  • Tolkein wrote the basis for his works (The Silmarilion etc) while fighting in the trences in World War I. It is unlikely he was influenced by Howard; it would be more accurate to say that both Howard and Tolkein were influenced by the same earlier authors (Poe for example).

  • Tolkein and Howard created the two different ends of fantasy. I allways felt that Howard has been quite malighned(sic) in the face of Tolkeins rolling corprate machine and hollywood wanting to make a quick buck.

  • Howard was just one of several authors writing simillar or related styles of work. Howard was also in touch, via mail, with Lovercraft as well, who in turn was heavily influenced by Poe.

  • that was when he worked for Weird Tales, your talking about the Cthulhu Mythos right?

  • My understanding is that he never actually "worked at" Weird Tales - he merely submitted some of his work via the mail. Correct me if I'm wrong. There was a whole circle of authors sharing ideas; Lovecraft and Howard were just two of many.

  • I said worked for not at.

  • Oh, I forgot to mention this earlier - going off on a tangent a bit; Tolkein's influence came from Norse sagas, not Howard. Tolkein was a professor of linguistics and in his day was recognised as the world's foremost authority on Anglo-Saxon literature with specific reference to the manuscript commonly referred to as "Beowulf".

  • R.E Howard made this map for his Conan/Kull books back in the 1930s, back then they history of the world wasn't fully discovered so there was enogh room for him to create his own fictional age of time within the history of the earth.

  • The left side looks a bit like Africa, and the right side like Asia haha.

  • hey that does look like the world... it even has an island where japan is suppose to be.... Japan here I come =) going to get my guild to built a city there ^_^~!

  • Any one claiming that it looks small needs to look into the game more, there is 185 square miles of game world, i'd say thats quite big wouldent you?

  • call me crazy but i enjoy the music in this video...i find it catchy =)

  • really looks like earth! not.

  • looks really really small

  • but it isnt

  • yeah, ever heard of a thing called "scale"?

    WoW's map looks a bit big, since it's TWO continents.

    Now take a look at the map of (eg.) Europe, it looks quite small, right? Now take your time, and try walking through it.

  • Looks like the real world because it is the real world like 10,000 years ago or something like that.

  • yes, thats correct. The continents were not separate like today back then. hence the similarity from our world map and the one of Hyboria.

  • lol the thing you said about it looked like the world is true xD

  • thats what I said, but nobody agrees with me, but I guess they dont know what the world looks like.

  • to me it looks like africa and an upsiide down

    (the west part facing downwords and east part facing up)asia :D you can even see india sticking out

  • yeah you can.. check the world map for india. and then on the aoc map:D

  • Omg that was the worst music I have ever heard. Its right up there in the top together with country music and jazz.

  • Lol, your friend's music is so fucking awesome I turned my speakers off.

  • Haha, idd

  • careface?

  • It's supposed to be representative. People didn't always have exactly calculated maps. They would just draw them where they visually thought that it should be. Maps of old were done this way. Old Greek maps only contained parts of the Med Sea, Persia, and Egypt.

    Howard was going for a 'believable' look for an ancient time. That's all. :)

  • PANGEA!

  • I think the creater of Conan ( hte character i mean ) got influenced by how the world looked like when all the continents was stuck togheter.

    I mean just look :)

  • yeah and the best thing is there's no south or north america in it :D,finaly a game without atleast some american influence

  • Even though Howard was from Texas?

  • yeah r.howard made the map look like the real world for a reason. he was crazy and believed this stuff actually happened. because "conan was threatening him with his life if he didnt write it". kool story though

  • He did suffer a form of schizophrenia, and had occassional hallucinations too. However, he did not believe that his version of history was real, nor that his map was accurate. He makes it quite clear in his essay on the subject that his alternative history is purely a work of fiction and nothing more.

  • He didn't have schizophrenia, I think it was more like servire depression and yeah he intended it to be fictional.

  • No he didnt have any of those... He.. had... herpies.... BUM BUM BUMMMMMMMMM

  • Most of it will be explorable and they will later add onto it in patches and expansions till it is fully done.

  • rofl

  • In Age of Conan the game you wont be able to cross the whole map like that only Cimmeria, Aquilonia, Stygia etc.

  • i smell expansions :)

  • hehe yeah that little isle on the south east

  • Duh. If you took the time to actually read about Hyboria, you'd know its how the world looked before the ice age. Ever wondered why there's humans everywhere? That's because the continents in the beginning was not separated by ocean - you could walk from America to Australia.

    The Hyboria map is as the world once was, although i doubt there was civilization and demonic magics ;)

  • yeah I thought about that to.. but I didnt find a map or a picture of how it looked, so I wasnt sure.. and I LOVE to say this, I TOLD YALL SO!

  • Thank you dude!! i was already on my way to write comment "it is suppose to look like the real world..." you dont even need to read the lore to know how the real world looked like millions of years ago and by seeing the similaritys its kinda logic what their idea was..

  • errr...didnt the continents separate x million years ago? mind you, the last ice age was 10k years ago. ring any bells?

  • think maps were perfect 10k years ago?

  • All countrys have once time been together, Aoc world = Is a game with the story year from many years back, that means. When the world look like this XD

  • This is not the ingame map and it will not go as far as Zamora (the desert part seperated by that long mountain)

    Hopefully the rest of the map will be included in later expansions - I want to go to asia :D

  • THe Hyborian map and it does not look like the real world map...at all. Nvm Check google for pics instead there is much better maps than this one..

  • uhm yes it does.. not the whole world map. just afrika, asian and europe. im not sure if this is the map they are going to use. I found this on a aoc site. and you can also find it on google, and alot of other maps that are more detailed.

  • IF you find a lot of maps of Hyboria this close to release i think its the one they are going to use..It's not like they would change the whole world.

  • LOL wow stfu idiot they arnt copying REAL MAPS noob it looks like a real map tho idito gtfo youtube

  • lol?

  • lmao i jusr re read that made no sence lol

  • dude if you ever even READ conan you'd know that that IS infact how the map looks in the stories. N00b!

    to the Poster: I have a screen capture of the real map if you want me to e-mail it to you.

  • yeah.. or make a video;)

  • Is this an ingame map or is it a thing you just snapped up from google?

  • Google

  • found it on a aoc site

  • That song IS terrible. No other word for it.

  • haha I didnt find a good song, so I thought, what the hell.

  • That song isn't terrible. It just doesn't go good with a game like Age of Conan.

  • Interesting video...but the music is absolutely terrible. Why would you pick this song to be the background music for Age of Conan?
