Age of Conan not F2P?

[Misti Autumns]

I own Age of Conan and reinstalled last night. My account says its frozen and needs to be reactivated, but it wants me to pay monthly. Even if I create a new account it wants monthly payment, even tho the site says its F2P now.... Anybody know anything about this?

Age of Conan is not free to play, it's still a monthly payment.

They do have an "Unlimited" free trial, up to level 20, which is probably what you are thinking about.

Ahh ok. Just figured out how to start that finally. Gonna give it another shot. Thanks

Be sure to not judge AoC by the first 20 levels because that is the intro to the true game. IT is well executed story driven content that does a very good job of immersing you into the world of Hyboria.

Unfortunately once you've completed the Tortage story content, the game becomes less story intensive and much more grindy w/ quests where the story tends to fade into the background among the kill x amount of this, though you're not really sure why you should other than the fact that you need xp to progress to the next quest hub.

The rest of the game is not what the beginning makes it out to be, so if you plan to use the trial to make up your mind, then be prepared because it's not always what i seems to be.

Yeah, the 80 content sucks too..there is very little to do at level 80 in that game.

I started playing AoC at it's initial release with some friends but lost interest after 20 levels or so. Sounds like it has not improved much since then, unfortunately.

It felt too much like a single player RPG game. Instead of doing that and paying a monthly fee I went back to Oblivion.
