Never played any mmorpgs but then again he last video game I played was Infocom's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy back in 1984-85.

I still want one of those "That thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is."
(Great place to keep your towel, screwdriver, and no tea)

I jumped on the Age of conan pre order, and will begin playing on Saturday 5/17/08, via the "Three day head start".

Had an absolute blast playing the open beta, and cannot wait to get into this universe. Still a bit odd seeing boobies, and even nipples, hehe. I'm going to play on a RP/PVP server. Hopefully the 12 year olds will avoid the RP servers....we shall see.

If you have a good gaming machine for this game, the visuals are like nothing you have ever seen. But I would recommend at minimum a dual core processor 3.0ghz +, 4gb ram, and at least a 8800 series nvidia card.

I always play a healer, so most likely I will be a POM. Priest of Mitra. Hubby is going to be a guardian most likely, although he may be a necromancer. He's not sure yet.

I remember playing that game with my buddy - we were in a dark room & we could not figure out what do do next. We kept getting it wrong & then the game told us "4 out of 5 sense-able people know what to do next" We then told the game to "smell" & we were on our way

My first game back in the late 70's was a text based RPG. When I think back about it, it was a LOT of fun!

"You enter a cave .... it is dark, and you hear growling up ahead. There is a fork coming up. L - Left * R - Right"

Left.

A hungry bear makes you his lunch. Game over.

Right.

"You come up to a stirring waterfall falling gracefully at your feet. Luscious red fruit is growing along vines to your right. E - Eat * L - Leave alone"

You get the picture.

Was pretty basic....but SO much fun at the time.
