The verdict
A gritty, atmospheric 2008 Conan MMO with unique combo combat and a great starting zone. It's in maintenance mode with a tiny population and broken account systems, so skip it if you can't tolerate login problems.
Great for
Conan fans and old-school MMO players who want atmosphere, combo combat and solo questing for free
Main risk
You may be unable to log in or create an account, and Funcom support won't help
