While funcom is thrilled with the early success of Age of Conan, and proud of the game launching this week, the company regrets to inform gamers that the DirectX 10 version of the game will not ship with the initial launch...........
Age of Conan launches 20th of May in North America / Oceania and 23rd of May in Europe. More information about the game can be found on www.ageofconan.com

I have yet to receive anything in regards to that from amazon myself and since I'm not sure when they should/could/would fire the email off I'm planing on sending an email to their support.
Can any one confirm if they have actually received one of these emails from them? All I get is ad's for new stuff they're selling lol.
Here's to hoping things don't get royally screwed up due to this policy!
-Thanks for the heads up! by the way ![]()
Wow that was way more detail then I was expecting to get asking as much as I did with nothing in return! Thank you very much Jeratan! that cleared up quite a bit of my concerns and biggest hold up in starting out within eve =) ![]()
The game seems really well put together from all aspects, but it was a little daunting to try and figure out how to not screw up my character from the get go (read quite a few guides that suggested re-rolling if you misplaced some starter stats/skills).
I think I will for sure give Drones a run for the money and hopefully end up with a happy setup. By the way excellent post about the "newbie myth" that is pretty much what sold me on giving it a go.
I'm a long time mmo player and have a bit of a knack for picking up things on my own once I've gotten pointed in the right general direction
but I may have a question or two later on and will for sure be back to post on how things go.
Hey all, I've been unable to fight off urge to try out eve after reading a few posts about still being able to "do things" with out a 2+ year wait lol.
I just have a quick couple of questions (and I have looked high and low but couldn't find the exact answers) any help would be appreciated! =)
My style of play that I'm most interested in is:
-Drone combat (is it effective when compared to other ships in PvP and PvE? )
-Are Drone ships so expensive that I'm going to be devastated should I lose one?
-Are they big slow sitting ducks that need escorts all the time?
-Am I going to be spending 8+ months getting the skills needed to get a worth while drone ship?
--------- Sniping / Hit n Run ---------
-Other interest is sniping and/or hit and run type combat (big damage low-mid range shields and hits)
-Anything that will get me usefully involved in PvP within 2 - 3 months
Honestly I've always wanted to fly a good sized ship that had decent close range fire power and butt kicking drones. ![]()
If that role is really expensive / risky, I'd happily take a smaller role doing hit and run stuff as long as I could serve a truely useful role to a corp in a PvP sense.
--------- Getting Started ---------
Lastly, if you can recomend a rough setup for the character I'd greatly appreciate it! (soon as I get a character started I'll try and figure out how to get setup with the eve university folks)
(I have invested in eve-mon and found a few sites listed in the guides that let me plan a character out, however I don't know where to put what points hehe).
Thanks for your time folks, any info is appreciated and will help me get my foot in the door.
What aspect of MMORPG's are you more into?
