Looking back at the Age of Conan PvP weekend
The barbarians are coming! Age of Conan, which will be released into our outstretched arms on May 20th, offered up a lot of fun over last weekend. Funcom hosted an AoC PvP event and invited some folks to wear armor, loincloths, and pick up some really big clubs. These players then proceeded to train up, gather some loot, and enter into the arena for a fight to the death! The beatings that followed were portrayed by the team over at IGN in all of their gruesome glory.
Players were able to log into either death match or capture the flag games and go head to head with their enemies. There were, of course, plenty of hearty barbarians who will kill you six times before you hit the ground waiting to show off their skills. Players in AoC can use spells or demonic pets to dispose of their enemies or even call upon the power of the gods themselves. If you're not familiar with Age of Conan's style of PvP, perhaps you'd like it explained weather-man style?
Regardless, this is something you're going to need to prepare for. This is not your average PvP experience. For example, making an enemy of one barbarian could mean you will suffer a horrible death by a swarm of eels (yes, eels). Whether victorious through the use of the double bladed axe or the use of the all mighty eel, AoC is hopefully going to satisfy the thirst for victory in warriors from around the globe.
