Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

As time goes on, more and more MMORPGs are adopting Free to play business models. In fact, recently we have been hit with a flood of commercial MMORPGs going Free to play. Titles such as EverQuest 2, Dungeons and Dragons Online, Lord of the Rings Online, Pirates of the Burning Sea and Champions Online have all opened a free-to-play option in their games, which allows they gamer, to pay for the game at their own speed. After all, not all gamers live on their MMORPG of choice. Not everyone plays enough to go from level 1, to level 80 in a weekend.

So, as I mentioned their are a ton of MMORPGs already offering free-to-play, and now a new one will be joining the already large, and still growing list. The game, is Age of Conan. So, if you are a fan of Conan, and want to explore the bloody world of hyboria, then all you have to do is wait. I am not sure what type of Free-to-play model they will be adopting, but I am thinking probably similar to Lord of The Rings Online. Time will tell I suppose.
