The Daily Grind: AoC collectors or regular edition?
We've asked if you were a collector or not, but now we're curious about one specific title. Namely, are you going to buy the CE for Age of Conan or will you be settling for the regular edition?
Lets review what you can expect to get for your extra 40 dollars in Age of Conan:
Big, metal embossed game case * 128-page art book
The Conan soundtrack
Leatherette map of Hyboria
Exclusive DVD with bonus material, trailers, interview and "making of" features
Buddy card for five friends
Ring of Asheron which gives you a 2% XP Modifier
Drinking Cape that gives free drinks in all of Hyboria's taverns
Cost: $89.99
The only in-game benefits are the two items, which are both arguably worth owning. The drinking cape will play into the PvP minigame where players can get drunk at bars and brawl with each other. As for the stuff in the box, we're always appreciative of soundtracks (especially so, since AoC has great music) and the exclusive DVD is something we could see popping into the computer at least once -- if only to check it out.
The map, art book and big game case (with embossed glory) all sound neat, but definitely are something that will only see the light of day once or twice in most cases. However, the buddy keys are pretty nice. There are definitely some Age of Conan-cautious friends we can see ourselves tempting with five free trails.
