For a complete rundown on Age of Conan, check out GameSpot's full review of the PC version of the game. Funcom is also developing an Xbox 360 edition, which has yet to receive a release date.

It's really tough to compare the launch of this title to other MMOs such as WoW, since it was released in Europe and North America at almost the same time.

AoC has been at the top of the charts since its release and isn't slowing down despite some criticism of frequent patches since its launch.

When considering which guide to use look for a few key features. You want one that is offering something new and something that is legitimate.

The bottom line is....be very careful if you want to risk buying gold for Age of Conan...there are a lot of scammers out there.

But how did they get all that gold you ask? Well a lot of players take the short route and purchase their gold off what are known as Chinese Farmers.

There exists an interesting theory concerning gamer preference of good vs. evil. It is said that in World of Warcraft, as in many other games, the "good" seems to be the most popular choice.

The MMO genre was born and raised in the PC culture. The reasons are obvious, of course -- personal computers have been connected to networks for a long time, the keyboard was more effective for communication before the advent of Voice-over-IP.

Changes made to EVE Online in the last year or so have been aimed at making the game more accessible to newer players. And we all know that Warhammer Online is a famous mmorpg game.

Combat in MMORPGs, along with loot, stats, levels, experience points and powers are all what used to be counted as 'wargame mechanics' in the early days of RPGs (though, paradoxically, these days the industry refers to the same elements as RPG mechanics).
