what is best in life?
This is not a post about politics. I promise.
Instead, it’s a brief post to note that if you’re starting out in Age of Conan this week (and rather a lot of people do seem to be), feel free to come along and say hi to my Cimmerian Guardian – Hachimaki, on the Crom server.
(Yes, PvE – I’m not making the mistake of rolling on a PvP server like I did with World of Warcraft. I’ve regretted that particular decision for a long time, because all the fun, consensual parts of PvP are still on the PvE servers, with ganking by sexually frustrated teenagers being the only aspect you miss out on. I’m happy to spare myself that aspect of the MMOG experience.)
Game seems pretty interesting so far – it’s certainly the first time I’ve been asked to disrupt a witch’s spell by, er, replacing her vestal virgin blood with blood from one of the town’s whores. Nice. There used to be a tankard around here somewhere, I might fill that with mead for the authentic Conan experience. Diet Coke out of a Guinness pint glass just isn’t cutting it for this game.
