I don’t play computer games primarily because it’s kind of difficult for gringos like me to talk to online players in Korean or Chinese.
A year or so ago I fooled around with SecondLife and didn’t find it worth the 45 minutes I spent wandering around the first island. To be fair, SL isn’t a game but rather a glorified chat room… and it still was uninteresting compared to walking outside, with my own legs.
And while I have no idea if this game will be any good, Conan: Hyborian Adventures has a really cool feature that - if I was a gamer - would probably enjoy. One of their innovations in this new MMOG is player-created cities. If you watch this video you might be impressed with the breadth and customization these organic social nodes potentially have.
Again, maybe the game will suck, but it’s a cool feature that I’m sure anyone involved in a guild on WoW would enjoy.
