Have you turned your back on Hyboria, nay, the entire Age of Conan? The MMO may be populated with barbarians, but its developer, Funcom, is really being quite nice to turncoats by offering two free weeks of gameplay if you return. No questions axed.
This re-evaluation campaign comes in advance of August's planned game expansion, which itself is set to be unveiled at Germany's GamesCom, which runs August 19 through 23. The wise barbarian will pocket those 14 days of free play until then.

Amazon.com has this for $12 that makes the startup cost pretty low, I'm guessing the monthly is still $15?

Actually Randy, you have to activate your 14 days by July 22nd...so you might want to check the details before suggesting former subscribers wait until August.

Been playing it for a few days now, and it is now what it should have been at release. Much more polished and playable. PvP side still needs work, but its nothing near as bad as it was. Try it out! See what you think.

Did they fix the necromancer ?
I felt like they wanted to kick me in the junk for playing their game by the time I left.

I find it curious that Joystiq is reporting on this turd, but has not mentioned anything about Lord of the Rings: Online being free for everyone, new and old players alike, between today and July 15th.

LotRO is a bit of a turd, too, if we're to be brutally honest.

I did play AoC and nowhere in this post did I say that I didn't.
And I'll agree, LotRO was a bit of a turd too, but that one at least held my interest past the free trial.
