Age of Conan

Please gives your thoughts as well on if you would like to see this feature implimented

I'm sure, at some point.  Then again, we really don't know how their world is going to work.  There may not be any large water areas to even think about allowing players to sail into the ocean.  They would either have to re-write the game, make it like that at launch, or add it to an expansion where you can only do that in new areas of the map.

We'll see, I think that if they can do it, they will look at the possibility.

I think the most we will see are automated ships that go from port to port.

If they ever do add player ships, I also think the sailing will be automated or it will just jump you to the desired port.

Take a look at the game faq. i think you will find nothing about ships. Whata pity, really.

Take a look at the maps of Robert E. Howard's "Hyborian Age" world and read some of the Conan stories that involve his piracy years. These form the bedrock of AOC and Funcom are commited to this lore.

According the lore, there is a lot of room for ships in the future. Most of Hyboria is part of a single continent, but you do have:

(a) The Isle of the Black Ones;

(b) The Baracha Isles;

(c) The Western Atlantic sea and various ports down the coast (all the way down to what will later become  Africa): and

(d) The HUGE Vilayet sea (contained within the eastern region of the continent) and which has several important islands that feature in the Conan lore.

The single continent means that sea travel isn't essential in the current incarnation of the game. However, I am positive that Funcom will consider some sea based features in the future when they expand the game content to explore additional features of the Conan lore.

I hope they eventually will do it.  After all, Conan was a pirate!

Isn't character creation set on a ship? Or was that some other game

Yep the game start's with you making your guy then fleeing the ship,So I guess there will be at least 1 ship.

I dont think there will be player run ship's,maybe in the future some auto travel ships.

I like the idea, but I don't see it being implemented anytime soon. They need to worry about everything else before thinking about adding in ships, that's for sure!

Well there ya go! Now at least you know they have the ability to make ships and put them in-game if they wanted to. Some hope for the hopeful. I don't care either way, I'm a landlubber
