Explore a Massive World!

[Quazimodo]

Thrilling adventures, brutal challenges, sweet success and painful failure – the Hyborian life is fraught with both perils and pleasures. You are but one person stepping into this gigantic world, which stretches beyond the horizon and into dark places never seen by man. In Hyboria your very existence depends on your ability to survive the challenges of everyday life, and a truly successful player must learn to both cleave heads and shake hands with the same care.

Faced with incredible dangers all around, there are plenty of rewards to be found if you are up to the challenge. Whichever path you choose, your Hyborian adventures will be filled with exciting quests and brutal combat, alone or in the companionship with thousands of other players. Age of Conan will test your skills to their limits while sweeping you along on the journey of your life.

The in-game world of Hyboria is massive, and spans the three mighty nations of Cimmeria, Aquilonia and Stygia. You will experience some of the most memorable locations seen in the Conan lore, such as the cold Eglophian Mountains of the north, the burning Sand Dunes of the south or the jungle on the Barachan isles. You will visit majestic cities like Tarantia, where King Conan rules, the pirate hive of Tortage, and the desert city of Khemi. From cities and dungeons to mountains, forests, swamps and deserts, Age of Conan will allow you to explore a brutal, massive and incredibly lush world.


Explore dozens of exciting regions, each handcrafted with an incredible attention to detail and gameplay.
Travel between the snowy mountains of the north to the sandy deserts of the south, taking in the forests, swamps, plains and all else in-between.
Experience the many excotic cultures of Hyboria, and visit the countries Aquilonia, Cimmeria and Stygia.
Dozens of dungeons, caves, temples and other lairs of evil are scattered throughout the lands, filled with adventure and reward.
Encounter a broad range of fiendish Hyborian inhabitants, like the savage Picts, the brutal Vanirs, the pillaging Pirates and many, many more.
Go hands-on against deamons, demi-gods and a wide range of terrifying creatures.
Journey across the lands on mounts such as horse or camel.
Undertake epic quests that give you exciting adventures and lucrative rewards.
Certain locations use instance technology to provide a frustration-free experience, while other areas are massive and can hold large amounts of people.

Big worlds is so nice, i love to have lots of places to travel to and i love to explore new places all the time

Yup, but I think I heard in some interview that Age of Conan wont be as big as World of Warcraft in the start at least because of the lore. They said they may add more regions in expansions tho.
