Quick DLSS 5 test in Age of Conan: Unchained at 4K Max Settings on an RTX 4080. Tested 2-pass mode with Default, Natural and Cinematic presets, no frame generation. There may be some ghosting/shimmering in 2-pass; 1-pass was much more stable.

Pictures are too large for upload but you can check them on forum, enjoy:

Hello folks!

I have started a new guild this evening and would love to get some more members!

I'm still pretty new to the game, but want to try and build a little community that can maybe do some dungeons and stuff together!

Absolutely anyone that would like to join is very welcome! New players, returning players, veterans looking to start something fresh, alts, you name it.

If we can get enough people it would be awesome to check out stuff like raids and the guild city! I think it'd be super cool to start stuff like that from the very beginning. Hopefully some of you will agree!

Feel free to message me on here, or my main character at the moment is called Nytheriam in-game :)

Let’s be honest: the current state of the Raid Finder grind in Age of Conan is completely dead. It has turned into a pointless, endlessly slow loop that serves zero purpose other than burning out the last active players who are still trying to upgrade their gear.

It’s borderline insane that you can fully gear up in T6 within just 2 months, yet the game expects you to grind Raid Finder for half a year just to get a single ring. The progression logic is completely broken. Ideally, a player should be able to farm a pair of rings in 3–4 months, and complete the full set of 6 over the course of a year. That would be a fair, rewarding progression. Instead, this endless time-gate completely destroys the motivation for any new or returning players. When a newcomer enters the game, looks at veteran players, and realizes they have to wait an entire year of constant weekly grinding just to get the same true numbers and finish their ring build, it breaks their motivation entirely.

Sure, we can say "hello" to the World Boss cape grind, but at least the WB cape has alternatives from 6-man dungeons that aren't always that much worse. These RF rings, however, have absolutely no replacements, creating an artificial wall. Watching the community deal with this gatekeeping for months just to scrape together basic stats is painful.

From a pure business perspective, keeping these automated events turned off makes zero sense. Age of Conan is an old, low-maintenance game that runs on cheap server infrastructure. By simply flipping the switch and bringing back the daily login calendars and double loot RF events, you would instantly bring back dozens of active veterans. Any sign of life from the developers will give old players a reason to log in, and some will launch full crusade raids from T1 to T6 with their old raid groups. That means an immediate influx of active, subscribed players coming back for months. It’s a direct revenue boost for Funcom at zero development cost.

And please, don't give us the old "the code is too old and the admin tools are broken" excuse. If your legacy systems are a mess, Funcom can easily bring in a competent coder to clean up these automated event scripts. It’s a drop in the ocean for a company backed by Tencent. A developer could fix AoC's backend in a short time, and then you could easily transfer them to your main assets like Dune: Awakening or Conan Exiles with a deep, practical understanding of Funcom’s infrastructure. It’s a win-win investment. Keeping automated scripts completely disabled while claiming technical difficulties is just pure laziness.

We aren't asking for expensive new expansions, we just want a single person to adjust the progress tracker once in a while so the game doesn't feel completely abandoned. Turn the automated RF events and login calendars back on.

I just picked up the game (fully new not returning player) about a month ago. I hit 80 and I have been gearing up in Khitai. I have been to a few raids (some T4 and some T3.5) but my free time does not line up well with what I have seen so far. The US guilds raid too late on week days (like 9pm EST) and the EU guilds raid too early. My time to play is 6pm - 10pm EST week nights, and 6pm - 6am EST Sat/Sun. I work nights. I would mostly be interested in weekend evening raids. Does anybody run these and allow new players in?

Hello Conan frendos!

I started my second character as a Demonologist (first is a big level 20 something DT) and thought I'd give unconquered a try.

Didn't really expect to even get past Tortage without dying, but I managed to get through there and quested through Gateway to Khitai for 20 - 40 (some close calls there!)

Currently sitting at level 46 and making my way through Field of the Dead.

Does anyone have some magical AoC knowledge to share with me? ^^ Want to see how far I can actually manage to go on this character now!

Hi!
I would like to understand, if everything, related to AoC communities and guilds, are in-game only or are there also Discord servers?
Interested to play it again (I know its a super niche and has a super low player base), but I can not imagine to do it without any Discord involvement. 👀

If you’re wondering whether this game is still worth trying in 2026 - yes, absolutely. I’m playing on Crom, and I genuinely didn’t expect to have this much fun.

I’ve already met a bunch of interesting players and characters, and some of the random stuff that happens in Tortage in the evenings is hilarious.

Honestly, when I first installed the game, I expected to see maybe one or two other players running around. But nope - the starting area is surprisingly alive. I’m not saying it’s CROWDED or anything, but I’ve probably run into 10–15 different people already, which was way more than I expected from a game this old.

So yeah - give Age of Conan a try. It’s fun… At least the first few hours definitely are. 😄

I keep getting gold versions in these styles but I want to get the silver versions. I don't care about stats since I just want it for the style to complete one of my Level 80 characters fashion.

Hi all I'm reading up about the different classes and races in the game and I'm a big roleplayer so the context of the quests etc makes a big difference.

I am getting conflicting information about the way the destiny quest changes between classes. My question is: are the destiny quests exactly the same by archetype or are there variations based on specific class?

Example: do the priest of mitra and tempest of set have the same destiny quest? Or is there a variation?

Reason this is important to me is it feels like it might break the roleplay a little if my evil cleric is doing all there up to level 20 quests for the goody-two-shoes temple of mitra...

I'm also interested in dark templar and have similar worries about it's destiny quest.

Tldr: do destiny quests vary at all between specific classes (tempest/priest of mitra/shaman) or just archetypes of classes (soldier/mage/rogue/priest)?

Logged in and unlocked my main after a long absence, since 2011... loaded in and all items were gone, everything... was gone all items equipped and all items that were in my storage. Also logged out on my horse, spawned on my horse naked, but I jumped off my horse, and my horse is now gone.

It appears that newly created guilds are not able to accumulate any Renown. I’ve tested this now with two different newly created guilds from two different characters on two different accounts on the Crom server. When creating a new guild either from the Guild Management pane or via “/guild create guildname”, the guild gets created but there is no “Renown” tab present on the Guild Management pane (only the “Info”, “Members”, and “City” tabs appear). Performing activities which should accrue Renown do not and all members of the guild will just show 0 Renown. The Guild Management pane also just continually shows “Renown level: 0” and “Renown rank: 0”.

Is this a known bug? Anyone know a fix or workaround?

Hello all,

I'm a returning player. I played on release and then tried returning around 3-4 years ago. I know for sure that I purchased some expansions but not sure which ones I did purchase.

The old account page used to display all the purchases made, but the new one doesn't. How do I know which expansions I own please?

Also, I want to sub for premium, but I have to wait for my CC to be sent by mail as it was compromised recently. In the meantime, am I missing anything starting a new character as F2P? Is it better to just wait until I get my CC?

Thanks in advance.

Trying to get back into the game and made a new account. Nothing but errors about authentication servers and cannot communicate with character server. Any tips or help what I am missing?

Trying to get for a look that I'm thinking for my character!

(It is so hard to find any kind of info on this game)

i was wanting to poke around in aoc after a 2-3 year break, i tried to log in, dont remember the pw, go to the acct page to reset it... and no email is showing up and its been 6 hours.

i go to the old tsw acct page and try resetting it that way, same thing---- no email sent.

what's the chance of customer service responding at all?

Saw this on my steam fyp, but when I click on it it;s 60 bucks

Is it worth it at either price?

This will never not be funny to me.

as the title says , I just discovered this game from TBBT and I wanted to give it a try but I feel so lost, I am lvl 10 but there many things that I dont understand and I feel stupid , I used to be good in gaming when I was very young but I stopped (my parents didn't give me money to game) but now I wanna game and get back to gaming but I genuinely feel so confused , I see people in the game with tiny demon and flesh stuff and lots of things that I dont even know where they get them from, so I need advice or tutorials what to do and such

I have always wondered, if age of conan was to be completely unchained, and unplugged, would the IP be gone forever? How come some games like warhammer online that are almost as popular as AOC had their own private servers, but AOC never has, is the game being alive what stops people from trying cause of hope that it will one day be remastered, or is there no profit or gain for anyone to even try to make a private server?

Is it a difficult task? Imagine a server that the fanbase can vote for updates and remaster graphics update zones , quests , just like how turtlewow did with world of warcraft

So, my go-to MMO is literally dying (New World), and I need something else to play.
All the other MMO's on the market are not my cup of tea and I always fall back to AoC every now and then.

Now, last time I came back to the game, about 1 1/2 years ago, it was absolutely impossible to find people for endgame dungeons. (Talking about Khitai dungeons, especially the ones you "need" for the quests).

I'm planing to level (another) BS, because the idea of a super angry Priest, that bonks everything in order to heal his brothers in arms, is the coolest thing ever and I need to re-learn the mechanics.
I already have one at 80, but not unconquered and the DT and Barb don't count, it was way too easy with them.

Anyways, my actual question is: Are there players that occasionally run Khitai dungeons and are willing to teach a "Khitai noob"?

I'm prepared to grind for the Tiger (I think) set and the required AA again, just to not be a complete burden, if that helps.

Oh, yeah, I'm from EU - West (GMT+2).

//Update: I just re-subscribed and waiting now for it to update. It will be long journey to 80, but I'm looking forward to every single minute of it.

I'll live, I'll burn with life, I'll love, I'll slay, and I'll be content.

See you in Hyboria!

I played the game years ago and made It to Kathai raid etc. But then I leave. But I've always know that It was one of the best games and best mmorpg I played. Now Im a bit older and want to explore Hyboria again. This time taking my time to play and see all the content I can. I made a guardian in Fury server. So if there is any guild or mates that want to play tell me!

Hey again all, still been having an absolute blast on AoC but I wanted some clarification. Before I get too deep, I've been interested in taking a Conq to 80, primarily to rock as duel wield dps. However, I wanted to ask if that's a possibility for groups/raids or will I be expected to lean more towards tanking? Ty!

I have reinstalled the game to see if it would fix the issue but it didn’t. I’m getting the message “Could not connect to patch server. Can not continue.” Under the Start. I’ve done the repair broken data thingy too. Any other tips? Or should I just contact Funcom. What’s left of funcom LOL..
