I'm kind of hoping they will swap to a microtransaction system like Turbine swapped Lord of the Rings online.. which is currently my favorite MMO.. easily beating WOW because there are no gold spammers and a much much much lower chance of getting your account hacked.Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177193073415704349.post-3089008836650416102010-10-17T08:19:21.793+01:002010-10-17T08:19:21.793+01:00Well admittedly that sounds realistic: an ape is m...Well admittedly that sounds realistic: an ape is more likely to kick your arse in real life.

Conan's wife (!) is murdered by Thoth-Amon (!!) in Cimmeria (!!!) and he goes on a quest for revenge after Thoth Amon manages to conquer most of Hyboria (!!!!). Includes Belit, though bizzarely stuck in the Lin Carter "Curse of the Monolith" story. The only faithful scene in the game comes from Spragey's "The Thing in the Crypt".<br /><br />But they did have a nice write-up about Howard in the manual.<br /><br />The ebst Conan game of all time is still "Conan: The Halls of Volta", which is only Conan insofar as that's the name of the sprite you play. But boy is it a lot of fun.Michalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198881279554204600noreply@blogger.com
