We had the opportunity to take an up-close look at Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, the online role-playing game from Funcom. Unlike other massively multiplayer games, Age of Conan will start out with a 20-hour single-player role-playing game that will not only let you create a specialized character after changing professions twice (once at a character level of 5, and again at the end of the adventure when your character level advances to 20). Funcom is designing this part of the game to be self-contained, and suggests that some role-playing fans may be satisfied in simply playing through the single-player game and leaving it at that.
