RPG Transfer

It’s been a crazy week here at the Anvil of Crom offices. Ok, I’m not really important enough to merit my own office, unless you count the spare bedroom with a computer and dozens of discarded MMORPG boxes spiraling towards the ceiling. Nonetheless, much Age of Conan playing, researching, and writing has gone on as of late. In addition to my characters on the live servers, I’ve been exploring the lands of Khitai thanks to the gracious folks at Funcom who have allowed me to take a peek at the Rise of the Godslayer beta. I’ll be detailing my experiences with the expansion for you in the next couple of days, so keep your eyes peeled.

I’ve also managed to find time to advance my rangers a bit, and have played through the entirety of Conall’s Valley with the exception of a couple of pesky group quests. At this point, approaching level 40 and having a decent feel for combat, feats, and the game in general, I feel safe in declaring myself a former newb. Certainly it’s a big jump to 80 from where I’m standing, but after spending a few days exploring the Cimmerian highlands, it’s clear that I made the right choice in returning to Funcom’s Hyboria.

Hit the jump for some impressions of Conall’s Valley.
