Playing an MMORPG, especially one like Age of Conan: age of conan goldHyborian Adventures, can be a little hard to understand especially if you're a first-time player. warhammer goldThere's pretty much a completely separate language that MMORPG players use to communicate when playing the game,warhammer gold certain terms, and acronyms of abbreviations that you might not understand. A lot of them are to do with game play actions or conventions.

AFK is a common one - aoc goldthis basically means 'away from keyboard' and that you're not going to be playing your character for a few moments.aoc gold Be sure to not do this too much, or it makes players not like you. If you don't think you'll be able to devote time to playing, don't log in.

Aggro is a term used to talk about an enemy's willingness to attack.age of conan gold Think aggression and that's basically what it is.warhammer gold It's usually the job of the tank character to build up agro so the enemy attacks him/her the most as the other players deal damage. This is the most common strategy in MMORPGs, but in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures you have to do it a bit differently by having your tank well out of the way of other characters,aoc gold because sword blows and other attacks are just as damaging to people who just happen to be in the way as they are to the target of the attack.

AC is Armor Class.aoc gold This is how much damage your armor can withstand the higher the number, the better the armor.aoc gold It's a convention that's reversed in this game - most MMORPGs I've seen have it as better armor having a lower numbered AC.

Bio is a term players use during chat to let other players know they have to attend to personal functions (read as: take a bathroom break).warhammer gold The full phrase is biological functioning, but bio works just as well.

BRB means 'be right back' This is much the same as AFK,warhammer gold except it's theoretically supposed to mean you're only going to be gone for a very short time. aoc goldSome people use the two interchangeably.

Tanking is the act of a character deliberately taking damage for the rest of the group; this job is usually aoc goldthe Guardian class in Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

Looting is a pretty obvious term - this is when you kill a fellow player or an NPC or enemy and proceed to take all items, weapons and armor they were wearing. A subset of this (and not highly liked) is Ninja Looting, buy aoc goldwhich is looting done on a caffeine rush where you take everything practically before the corpse hits the ground.

Spawning/respawning is a term that's carried over from FPS games.age of conan gold When you died in MMORPGs, you're not actually dead;buy aoc gold your character will revive with all his possessions (hopefully) at the nearest respawn point.

Camping is the act of standing in one spot and killing nearby enemies but not putting yourself in any danger. warhammer gold This is usually highly disliked.

PvP is the most common term you're going to hear likely. aoc goldThis means player vs player combat. Instead of fighting the non-player characters,aoc gold  you're fighting other players. Most games warhammer gold have servers specifically for this.

The world of Hyboria is set in a pre-Ice Age,age of conan gold  post-Atlantis world, with most of the locations from the Conan stories appearing in the game. The world's really vast, with three main starting regions covering 185 square miles of land. warhammer gold That may not seem like a lot, but we're talking about 185 square miles of land from the computer's scale. This is pretty much enough to encompass the entirety of the world of Hyboria,aoc gold which is the equivalent of Europe, Africa and parts of Asia.aoc gold As such,aoc gold  there are plenty of locations to visit and explore in the game, as well as roleplay and fight in during battles and hunts. There are plenty of different terrains.

The first starting region in the game is Cimmeria.age of conan gold  This is where Conan himself comes from. It's roughly the same thing as England, Scotland and Ireland - the ancient pagan cultures. Cimmerians are known to produce the Barbarian and Bear Shaman classes. Cimmeria is a nation that's highly naturalistic, not quite as civilized as the other nations, and known for valuing warrior virtues and things like that.buy warhammer gold  The land itself is quite rugged, mountainous and snowy with sparse plains here and there. age of conan gold Conan was born in the northwestern part of Cimmeria and went on a raid to Asgard (the Hyborian equivalent of Scandinavia).aoc gold The starting village of Cimmeria is Conarch Village, where you get your quests and other information to play.buy warhammer gold  There are plenty of shops here to equip your character.

The second major region is Aquilonia.age of conan gold  This is where Conan stays now, ruling over it as King after a whole bunch of battles and other necessary political intrigues. Aquilonia is a more civilized version of Cimmeria, warhammer goldbeing easily compared to ancient Greece or Rome, though its location is the Spain/France area whereas Cimmeria is the British Isles. Aquilonia is mainly a plains-filled nation, with plenty of agricultural land and fishing ports so citizens don't go hungry. buy aoc goldYou'll not have to worry about feeding your character in Aquilonia, because the land has food readily on hand through hunting or just pillaging a village. Old Tarantia is the central location for Aquilonians to gather and get quests.

The other region you can explore is Stygia. warhammer goldSimply put, this is like ancient Egypt. If you know about ancient Egypt (deserts, sphinxes, pyramids and so forth) you have a basic idea for what Stygia's like. In addition to the desert, you also have to worry about the Tempests of Set and Heralds of Xotli that may be roaming about the place. warhammer gold Stygia is home to many sorcerers that Conan defeated during his career as an adventurer, age of conan gold such as Xaltotun (during Hour of the Dragon).buy aoc gold The desert market town of Khemi is the central location for Stygian characters. Incidentally, Khemi was an ancient Greek name for Egypt, which is likely how Howard got the name.

Of course,age of conan gold it wouldn't be Conan if there weren't plenty of ruins to explore and loot treasure, or vast epic battlefields to fight it out.warhammer gold There are rumors that you'll eventually be able to journey to the far reaches of Hyboria,warhammer gold such as Zimbabwei (sub-Saharan Africa) buy aoc goldAsgard (Scandinavia) or Khi'tai (China/Japan).

he MMORPG Age of Conan: warhammer goldHyborian Adventures puts you in control of a warrior in the universe created by Robert E.age of conan gold  Howard and other writers over the past century. It's known for flashy sorcery, brutal combat and very deadly outcomes for both. Naturally, the game decided to put a lot of emphasis on the combat aspect,age of conan gold  allowing you to engage in real-time combat with your weapon of choice. Weapons are divided into several types: one-handed edged, two-handed edged, one-handed blunt, aoc goldtwo-handed blunt, aoc goldand ranged. Different classes can use different weapons, and it's dependent on the situation. In Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, warhammer goldyou have to think strategically about your weapon choices.

One-handed edged weapons are shorter things like knives,aoc gold daggers, and short swords. These are useful for getting in close to an enemy and stabbing/slashing them behind the reach of a longer weapon like a sword. Most rogue classes tend to favor one-handed edged weapons just for the purposes of stealth.buy aoc gold They're also lighter,aoc gold than but just as deadly as some of the larger weapons. Some feats allow you to throw knives to act as ranged weapons.

Two-handed edged weapons are mainly larger swords and axes. warhammer goldTwo-handed broadswords, the longsword, war-axes and other instruments of death fall into this category. They're useful for obviously straightforward killing,aoc gold and are used by the soldier classes, especially on the battlefield. They're harder to hide, so generally aren't available to rogue or thief-like characters. Axes are heavier than swords,warhammer gold so your character will need a high strength stat to work with. Really, it take strength to wield any weapon for any length of time, but often your opponent may have a shield between you and them,age of conan gold  so it'll take longer. After all, no one wants a sword through the chest,aoc gold so they'll fight that much harder to defend. Another downside to swords is that they're expensive in-game, buy age of conangoldbecause they take a lot of metal and metalworking skills to produce anything of really good quality.aoc gold There are bronze weapons, warhammer goldbut these aren't very good.buy aoc gold Spears also fall into this category, though you could also place them into the blunt weapons category.

One-handed blunt weapons are smaller bludgeoning instruments like maces,buy aoc gold flails, morning-stars and clubs. These are simple weapons,buy aoc gold not really requiring a lot of effort to make or maintain them. They're useful for inflicting non-lethal damage (yes,warhammer gold believe it or not,aoc gold sometimes you don't want to kill your opponent) and for defense. They're used by priests and rogues. buy aoc goldVery rarely will you see a soldier with this class of weapon.

Two-handed blunt weapons are pretty much just staves and polearms.buy age of conangold These are used by soldiers, and they have a slightly longer reach than a sword. The disadvantage is obviously that they're a lot slower than a sword,warhammer gold so if the enemy gets inside your guard, prepare to respawn.

Ranged weapons are everything else that's used from a distance, aoc goldlike longbows, crossbows and thrown weapons.aoc gold You use these by aiming at the target with your mouse when the game goes into an over-the-shoulder view.

Part of the fun in MMORPGs is the fact that you can play as a member of a group. However, just like you would offline,age of conan gold you have to observe certain rules and standards of etiquette to enjoy your play experience (and get invited back to future group sessions).aoc gold There are several rules to follow.

First, don't be greedy when it comes to looting items.age of conan gold You may not necessarily need that +1 sword of whatever,warhammer gold but if you feel compelled to take it anyway, leave it for someone who might be more in need than you are. warhammer goldThis goes a long way. In this vein,aoc gold don't be what's called a Ninja Looter,aoc gold who takes everything from a corpse before it even hits the ground. buy aoc gold Give other people a chance to get what they want. In fact, you can have an option of the game itself or an agreement set verbally.

Be patient with your fellow players - some of them are likely new to Conan or even new to MMORPGs altogether. Explain the terminology and such to them; after all,warhammer gold you were new yourself. I personally can't stand players that call players newbs in a derogatory manner - that's not constructive at all and it just gets players less willing to enjoy the game.

Next rule - don't be a leech. warhammer goldIn other words, when you join a group and go along on hunts and so forth, you'll get experience points. It's up to you to make sure you earn those experience points so that players don't kick you out of the group for not carrying your weight in the fight or hunt.

In combat situations, make sure you do your job. aoc goldIf you're the tank (character designated to take damage as everybody else attacks or prepares magic),aoc gold act it. If you're a healer, hang back on the sidelines and let wounded characters come to you for help rather than getting in the fight yourself.aoc gold It's a good way for your character to get killed if that happens because healers tend to be rather weak physically.

As the tank,age of conan gold position yourself in front of the enemy and let everybody else get behind. This does matter - a missed sword swing can damage party members as well as you, so try to avoid letting people into the path of the attack.

There has to be only one 'puller' per party - a puller is the party member that goes out and draws enemies to the group. This gets a higher agro rate.warhammer gold Aggro is basically aggression, the likelihood of attack. Also, if you try to act as puller when someone else is already doing that job, age of conan gold more enemies than you can handle may show up, sending your group toward a quick death.

After the hunt or fight's over,aoc gold thank your group members for a good time and offer (in-character) to buy the first round of drinks next time they stop by an inn.buy aoc gold If you're not into the whole staying in character,buy aoc gold you can just thank them and let them know they can call on you for help in future.

The Barbarian class is easily the most popular class,age of conan gold because the Barbarian is a character that is undisciplined, brutal and savage in nature.aoc gold The Barbarian is a kind of character that can benefit when outnumbered,warhammer gold making use of unscrupulous hacking and slashing to get the job done rather than complicated or calculated attacks.

There are two types of combat that the Barbarian can choose,warhammer gold  each leading to a slightly different path in terms of power and game play.aoc gold  The first is that the Barbarian may choose to cut through enemy lines using truly massive two-handed weapons. warhammer gold The second is that the Barbarian may also choose to create crushing aoc gold blows by wielding a weapon in each of his hands. Either way, the blows that the Barbarian deals out will be truly devastating,age of conan gold especially when special attacks and combination blows are incorporated into the attacks. aoc goldThe Barbarian can easily handle being outnumbered, age of conan goldmaking use of target-free hacking and slashing to wade through the throng of opponents.

The Barbarian class of characters falls under the Rogue category,age of conan gold and this archetype allows them to be either Cimmerian or Aquilonian in descent. They are capable of wearing light armor and cloth armor, warhammer goldwhich means that they have to rely more heavily on evasive skills and their massive offensive capabilities in order to kill their opponents more quickly than they can be killed by them. Luckily, the nature of the Barbarian is that being wounded only allows them to become stronger,buy age of conan gold  and even more deadly in the end. There are a powerful variety of attacks that the Barbarian can utilize in order to knock their enemies senseless or to immobilize them from moving.age of conan gold They excel when it comes to stealth attacks which means that they can easily ambush their opponents for quick kills.

Coming across a Barbarian on the battlefield is a terrifying sight.buy age of conangold  Barbarians naturally rely upon their aggression and strength to create a truly relentless assault on their foes. Barbarians do not have to depend on positioning like the ranger and the assassin have to, warhammer goldbut rather can jump straight into the battle hacking and slashing at will to cause as much death and havoc as they possibly can quickly and stealthily. buy warhammer goldPlayers looking for a quick kill laced with carnage and mindless hacking and slashing will enjoy playing the Barbarianaoc gold character in the Age of Conan.
