Age of Conan

Post by Scythe »

I promised myself I would never get caught up in another MMORPG, but...

I find myself almost irresistably drawn to preordering Age of Conan. I loved the Conan comic books when I was younger ("mature" though they may be labeled), and the game looks to be different and very promising.

However, I know the toll an MMORPG takes on the rest of life, and I'm not sure I want to go down that path. Want, want not... Hmm...

I read this yesterday and immediately thought of it when I read your post.

Yah, the limited edition which gave you a week's head start before everybody else can buy the game was sold out pretty quickly. At least I didn't get that one, or I would be buried already. :lol:

I am completely lost to Age of Conan. You can pull me out of a ditch in six months, having lost my job, my friends and finally my apartment. You know how it goes with these MMORPGs...

I have been knee-deep in getting Anna introduced to her new kindergarten, and when she comes home she is so fussy you wont believe it. She has simply had her share of experiences for the day, and that really eats at ones nerves, so when she finally goes to sleep I can start my day with chores and emails, leaving next to no time to do any gameplaying... :(

Tomorrow Tanja and I are going away to stay the night at a hotel, and watch an outdoors performance of a mix of classical music (Vivaldi) and Beatles with a picnicbasket at our disposal. I really look forward to it. Anna is getting looked after by her godmother to be. She is finally getting baptised two weeks from now. You might remember we cancelled the last one because Tanjas was in the hospital.
So the rest of my free time goes to planning that event.

Househunting has been stalled while we go over these things, so at least that is a relief. Though I do look forward to having time to dive back into that.

I hope to be able to play a couple of games next week, so maybe then I will have the time to even add one or two... I gotta stop saying that.

Have fun with Conan Scythe, but dont forget us.

What is everyone else up to at the moment? I know Maz is deeply buried in icehockeysticks and protectiongear....
