Age of Conan is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in the dark fantasy world of Conan the Barbarian. Developed by Funcom, it was released in May 2008 and allows players to create characters from various races and classes, exploring a vast open world filled with quests, dungeons, and PvP combat. The game features a unique combat system that emphasizes skill and timing, making battles more dynamic than traditional MMORPGs. Players can engage in both player-versus-environment (PvE) and player-versus-player (PvP) activities, with a rich storyline and lore drawn from the works of Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan.
