Do you know if there will be an Oceanic server, or at least a server/s set to +10 gmt for us in the Asia- Pacific region, so we can participate in the city siege PVP system. If it is restricted to evenings in the US (as is rumoured) it will be mornings here and we will be off to work/school. That means we will have no chance of participating or our guilds ever taking or defending a city of our own? It's one of the main reasons I bought the game and now I find out I may have no chance of participating?

What sort of item decay system is in AOC? Do you need to repair your armour/weapons after taking a number of hits? If your items are fully decayed, do they break and become unrepairable? Do items suffer durability loss from PVP and deaths as a result of PVP?

can guilds declare war to each other? and if they can , will a guild player see an enemy guild player with any color differences and/or tags ?

Will there be an Oceanic server of any kind

I was wondering if the Tempest of Set feat 'Aftershock' (Set intervenes and restores the Tempest's life, so that they can live to carry on his diabolic work) means that the Tempest can self res, or is it just a heal.

do you know anything about the xbox 360 version of the game?

Quests!

Do you know how 'grindy' the quests are? kill x thing y times or kill collect etc...

I really dont want to get sucked into another game where I spend all my time killing rabid badgers for their diseased spleens to make into a badger spleen kabob/soup... I want high adventure not violent shopping trips...

Thanks in advance!

i would like to get some more info on the crafting system in the game. my question is does a character that want's to craft have to be with a guild to get access to crafting stations or can a none guilded character have the same opportunity for access in none guilded city's basicaly does a guilded crafter have an advantage over a none guilded one, like being able to craft high end items

Can fatality animations be cancelled/blocked/interrupted when you don't want to be locked into it while fighting multiple mobs, and if so would you lose the buffs that come with it? Related to this: should casters also get locked into spell fatalities, or is their ability to do other actions part of a balance issue?

Wich server do you plan on playing on when the server releases? and why?

In open beta I see that after every quest done I got some skill points.I wonder if there is posibility to do any possible quest and to max those skills like climbing,concentration,bandage....? Or is it fixed and when you hit lvl 80 you are maxed no matter how much quest you did or did not?

I'd like to know about the basics of the character creation screen. I'm hearing that it's very limited especially for female characters and being a female player I was really hoping that I could make a toon that was pleasing to the eye.

Some other games have a very spefic way of creating gruops for dungeons. In most cases this leads to dead classes that are only whanted for some dungeons or for some very specific task. I understand that it's hard to go around that fact to have a healer/tank duo in any group, but some "other" games have a pretty specific crowdcontrole system that makes some dps clases more prefarebale then others. This makes the other not so good crowdcontrolers the less prefared or not at all prefared class. In some cases it make the charachter sit out instance gaming all together. How have u dealt with this?
I'm asking so I don't shose the wrong class and wind up waiting for ages when looking for a group.

Looks like a nice game
best regard

I was just wondering, can I use an English name as my name in Age of Conan? And if I am able what is the minimum characters I can use in Age of Conan as my screen name?

Will the early access download be efficient enough to be done by the 17th? Who is sponsoring the download?

You probably cant awnser this,

but i wonder if its wortwhile at all, gaming experience wise, if your system rigs dont meet up to at least the recommended system requirements

is there any features/support for dual monitors?

:Attention this post was edited to contain a game related questin!

oic u cant answer account info, no problem here is my new question.....
ive seen that you can hunt wild animals with a bow,what do u get meat,
hides/bone or other resources and will their be rare speacial animals
that will provide trophys

ok im gonna ask more questins please answer the one u like the most, honorable and noble mitra
will you be able to pilot a row boat or pirate ship,will their be fishing?
and are their any plans for the doggie companion we saw in the video in
future updates, animal companion sounds like somthing a ranger would have?

In every MMO I've ever played, data was always saved indefinitely, waiting upon subscription renewal.

why are soldier and barbarian classes only for white toons? see im not a rasist ore something.
its just i am a asian man an i really would like to create a brown toon as barbarian or soldierclass.....i knew there are stygians as alternative but even they cant be those class.
so will it come as addon ore something,asian rase with katanas:)?in conan the movie there were asians.

It's because that particular race in the game (Cimmerian) is the barbarian race from the north. I would assume Aquilonians can be barbarians because they have integrated some of the Cimmerians into their culture. It doesn't make much sense to let the other, more fragile race of Stygians become barbarians, because barbarians are supposed to be big and strong. It'd be like an Orc becoming a ballerina: not terribly feasible.

i personally am very excited about age of conan's real time combat. however was it created by the devs to try and bring back / incorporate e-sports into an mmo? i myself am very concerned about the future of e-sports and i would love to see a far more competive side of an mmo... an entirley skill based mmo... but yea.. will age of conan be considered an e-sport?

I've asked this before and it has not been answered-- based on non-answer I've assumed the answer is no. Here is the question:

Will the dedicated pre-order customers who pre-oredered BEFORE the date was changed get ANY kind of early access or concession for the time value of money?

I pre-ordered FOUR copies of the game, TWO special editions and two regular, prior to the date change. Add it up. I trusted the published date for march and the money has been taken from my account. Someone has it, and is earning interest on it, but not me.

For everyone's benefit, the pre-orders over the Internet ought to go out early due to the lag in shipping and delivery. Those pre-orders will likely put early purchasers behind the curve related to everyone who simply waited and go to Best Buy.

It's a small thing to ask.

Please keep in mind that I will not be able to answer any questions that are account, pre-order, etc. related. The purpose of this "Ask Mitra" feature is to ask game-related questions, i.e. questions pertaining to gameplay, features, and anything you may not have heard about yet due to the NDA. Thank you. :)

i was refering to FF11 they wiped out my lvl36 ninja after i was away a few months but that was years ago maybe they changed it?

P.S. WEEZER i edited my original post with game related questins please check my previous post and sorry about the confusion,thanks in advance keep up the good work:)

What types of items can u make? Many MMO's have lists of what recipes and items u can craft. This has not been done and since AOC comes out soon it would be nice to be able to pick and choose a profession since u can pick only one at the release in less than a week for preorders.

How do i get access to Soul stone fragments? thanks

Earlier in a few interviews given by developers there was mention of an Mentoring system, somewhat like the sidekick system in City of heroes/Villains, did this feature make it to launch?

I know that there is limit to 1 auestion, but i wonder about 2 things, witch are close relatives:
1st) how will the casting system looks like? Like normal press-key-and-w8 or something more complex? I swept through some topics and did not find anything about this.
2nd) Why is there no "good" mage in game? I know that conan is a bit darker world, but i just allways wanted to play that stupid, naive guy, witch tries to help everyone. I know that there are some priests witch have some damage spells in spellbook, but, what about pure white mage? (elementalist, for instance?) Please answer this question, if no more than 1.
Thank you

The preist of Mitra is the white mage! their holy attacks are the most powerfull weapon their is against demons and undead,and if u want to help people, raising the dead and healing as preist of mitra sounds like your thing

Thanks =D
But i thought something like there would be Mage class for aquilonians, with only offensive magic, but nothing like pacts with demons and rising dead. Lightnig/wind/wather magic for example.
