Despite the interrupted Early Access program for Age of Conan, we are still able to take a look into the game, via an interview given by Fancom’s developers of the game, to AoCMMO.

According to the developer, the new MMORPG is going to be extremely entertaining, as the cities in the game will be full of resources, thus preventing too much struggle to gather gold or some other goods required to advance in the game and to strengthen your character.

Shannon Drake: Player cities are incredibly resource intensive and upkeep and repairs for PVP-type cities will require a long-term commitment. It’s not going to be as simple as pressing a button and a city being completely done and perfect for all eternity.

This is partly what I was talking about in the first question. The system’s challenge isn’t “staring at a forge for four hours,” it’s figuring out how to build a city, which is no easy proposition, as you might imagine!

Common gear, obviously, will require less effort than an entire city. If you want basic stuff, it won’t take long at all, but if you want the uberest loot of all, it’s going to be a bit more work.

So, it looks like pretty much every gamer, including beginners can have their share of fun and resources in Age of Conan.

The play will include dedicated crafters ans well as casual crafters, and each player will have the choice of either dedicating his time to a certain craft, to perfecting his skills and advancing in his career, or rather spend more time in adventures and exploring new lands ans territories.

The resources will have different quality, and the quality of your final item will depend on the quality of the resources you use to manufacture that item. Again, more differentiation, which promises even more fun for all game players.

I think Age of Conan will be the MMORPG of the year 2008.
