Is anyone else checking out the progression of this future MMOG? Here's the website:

http://ageofconan.com/

It looks like it's going to be pretty good. Link (http://ageofconan.com/conan/media/screenshots/index.html)to screenshots.

To start off, you get to pick from 3 Races (Cimmerian, Aquilonian, and Stygian). More races are expected to appear in the future; supposedly as the world contitues to be more fully developed.

You pick a base Archetype (Priest, Warrior, Thief, Mage) at level 5, at which time you can also get involved in Guild Prestige Classes (Lord, Commander, Crafter or Master). At level 20, you pick a more specialized Class specific to your choosen Archetype:

Priest Archetype

Priest of Mitra
Scourge of Derketo
Scion of Set
Druid
Bear Shaman
Storm Caller

Warrior Archetype

Guardian
Halberdier
Conqueror
Liberator
Crusader
Dark Templar

Thief Archetype

Defiler
Lotus Master
Master Thief
Barbarian
Reaver
Ranger
Waylayer

Mage Archetype

Lich
Necromancer
Herald of Xotli
Demonologist


I must say, I'm pretty hot for this game. It looks like the developers are attempting to create the game to please Conan-philes, and are not interested in concepts like political correctness, or minor-friendly themes and settings. Just good old fashioned barbarism and decadence, laced with supernatural horror and the manly arts (such as bar-fighting, and war-making).

I've been playing MMO's since about a year after EQ1 launched. Since then I've been hyped about many MMO's but now a days they all blur to sameness...
About the only thing that stands out to me is that apparently you play the first 20 levels as an offline game. That's cool IMO.
