Pre-Release Joy!!!!!!!!
Alright I'm officially in love with the Priest of Mitra and Age of Conan.

I can tell you after playing open beta I didn't know what to expect but wow. The graphics are phenomenal. The playstyle is fantastic. The quests are interesting.

They essentially took everything that annoyed the heck out of you from other MMOs and made it work.

When you get a quest there is a gold arrow that marks your map for you. There is also a gold X on your mini map and main map as to where the mob/item is. If you have to kill mobs there's a big circle radius to point you in the right direction... and it's all ACCURATE! No need for checking thottbot because there's a vague quest you can't find your way too... it's great!

Loot items. As soon as you loot an item it will tell you one of two things. Whether you can wear it or what level you'll be able to wear it at.

For example: Priests get crossbows by default as soon as they ding lvl 20. When I looted a crossbow it said level 20. This is custom to only my toon. If another mage class looted a cross bow it might say "Can't wear" meaning your class will never learn that ability. There's no trainer either! It just happens!

Broker/Mailbox/Trade Post - It's a bank, guild bank, mailbox, and broker... ALL IN ONE NPC! no more running back and forth between areas!!! Talk to on NPC and get everything done!!!

No weapon skill ups! Just equip it and stack whacking!

Resource nodes: They seem to be static. Which is good and bad. Meaning when you find a cotton plant it might be at 100%... it might be at 0%. It regenerates over time. I predict they might made them dynamic later, but the good news is that you'll always know where they are! The bad news is so will everyone else and you might be waiting in line.

The guild list and the friends list are combined. So if you friend someone who joins the guild... no messy lists to maintain the system does it for you!

/gu is guild chat
/group is group chat
/emote(space bar)[tab key] <-- Have fun. Customer male/female emotes too
/tell [Player name] to whisper ("R" without having the chat window open to reply quick)
/say local chat
/cc addbuddy [Player name] to add a friend

The zoning isn't bad either! If you enter an area and it's FULL of players at the top right hand side of your screen just select the little down arrow to the top left of your mini map. You can switch to a different instance of the same area. Might help you avoid a little PVP so you can finish a little questing.

Downside right now is finding your group members in the same zone. I hope they tweak that a little bit. On second thought it actually makes PVP groups harder to organize. They have to stay together or else they will get lost. So there's pluses and minuses to the current get up.

FUN FUN FUN FUN

Might paste more later... BUT YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
