GameSpot’s Online Games Blog regularly revisits online games, especially MMOs, since they are prone to change all the time. The latest post is all about Age of Conan and the changes since launch. It is a pretty good walkthrough on the various major updates that have been addressing the issues.

We ran through the early game experience again on a midrange PC and noticed considerably fewer performance problems than at launch–aside from a few bouts of network lag, the game seemed to run quite smoothly with few to no hitches beyond some extremely minor clipping issues with characters that have long, flowing hair that clips through their clothes.

The wrapup is a bit dull, but overall I’d say that the blog thinks you should revisit Age of Conan, especially since you can do it for two weeks for free.

While Age of Conan had a rocky start, it seems like the game has made several turns for the better and continues to have a devoted team of about 100 people hammering away at both improving and expanding the game. This new team really seems to have tried to address the major concerns of its fans, as well as the concerns of the people who tried the game at launch, and left.
