Why Age of Conan Is Not World of Warcraft
Written by Ithiel on Thursday, December 4th.
Facts, figures, and a halarious review as to why Age of Conan is not World of Warcraft…
This review was so freaking funny, it just had to be shared.
If you’re having trouble playing the video, head on over to Escapist Magazine: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/138-Age-of-Conan
Since I have just plugged my favorite web comic, I figured I’d do the same for my favorite game-reviewer – the sarcastic mastermind that is Yahtzee. If you have not seen his ‘Zero Punctuation’ reviews, I throughly suggest you check it out. It is epic.
WARNING: This next bit get’s a little nerdy.. lol.
Whilst we are bashing Age of Conan, and pointing out it’s inferiority towards WoW, I figured I’d share an amusing fact I had heard about Funcom, creators of Age of Conan, was that their share price plumited 60% just after the games release. Thinking it would only be temporary, little did I know that they had continued in the downwardspiral. Here’s a 12 month view of their shares as it drops from nearly $60 to $2.
NB: The point where the happy little blue line fell over and started rolling down the stairs was the same time all the little kiddies were fell off their chair after realising they should have stuck to WoW…

anyone try joana’s leveling guide?
I think that if it wasn’t for the fact that I was a clickbank affiliate in my spare time as well, I’d probably obliterate the above comment which is a shamless link to their single post blog linking to their clickbank affiliate link for joanasworld.com.
But since the guide actually seems half decent, and you did put a fair amount of effort into making the whole blog just for a single post, I’m feeling compassionate enough to spare you the painful and humiliating repeated flogging of the spam-stick, and let you live another day.

Awesome, well made.
