Age of Conan: Hyborean Adventures Preview

Gaming Horizon brings us the latest preview of Funcom's upcoming single player/massively multiplayer RPG hybrid, Age of Conan: Hyborean Adventures.
At level 20, you'll move into the real game, where you'll adventure with other players (and sometimes kill them). A quest-based system will help you progress through to endgame - 60 more levels of oily barbarians, loincloth-sporting Picts and the various monsters and demons that generally make Hyborea a very, very dangerous place. A robust guild system will support full-scale town construction and sieging. Player crafters will make some of the most deadly equipment in the game. A PvP system will be implemented in such a way as to make it available for those who desire it, while allowing more casual players to enjoy the PvE game on their own terms. While that's sure to create some angst and ill-will among those of you who are straight-up PvP-gangstas from the hood (that hood being Shadowbane, presumably), harken then to this: The game has been designed and coded in such a fashion that, should demand be present, full PvP servers can quickly be implemented and brought online.
