Word is that it takes 32 gigs of harddrive, somethings gotta give.

in fact, the 32-35 Gigs space required part is if you download the client install files, and then install it. Once installed it takes "only" 24 Gigs.
However, whatever they say for hte minimal requirements, 2 Gigs of RAM is an absolute prerequisite. With 1 gig it stutter so much it's unplayable.

I've been playing this AoC today, it seems pretty good to me. I am enjoying the combat system though at first it DOES sort of throw you in at the deep end and I read the manual cover to cover (Trust me, you've got plenty of time while it's installing..)
I'm a Stygian Herald of Xotli, I am enjoying it but I'm a little worried that it's going to be an unrewarding class to level as the whole point of it is "lolol, turn into da' demun and beat stuffs" yet it seems from the forums I STARTED with the turn into demon skill and all it is is a 25 second buff (Though I imagine I'm missing something, I must be).
Still, the graphics are ok and I'm enjoying the NON-Technicolor world.
So far it gets two thumbs up from me but I'll see what I think by the time my 30 day trial ends.

I'm playing it and enjoying it. 33 Tempest of Set, 30 Assassin. I'll be subbing this game for a month or three to see where it goes. The worst things about AoC currently are the heavily-instanced and compeltely terrible newbie experience and the forums, which are still a cesspit of WoW people *****ing about everything. I expect things to improve after the 30-day trial is over. The high points are the graphics, the melee combat system, boobies and blood.

Yup, I acctually got this email a few days ago
Originally by: FUNCOM!
The reason you are being contacted is due to a billing error with your new Age of Conan account. Some of our customer base was charged prematurely for their Age of Conan subscription instead of after the included 30 days of playtime that comes with every retail purchase. The billing error was discovered quickly, and as a result only a very small number of customers were affected. Unfortunately, if you are receiving this letter, you are one of them, and for this we sincerely apologize.
To compensate you for the inconvenience, we have decided to automatically add 30 extra days of playtime to all affected accounts.
So I basically got 3 months for $15, not a bad deal. I'll play and see if I want to keep it or I get bored.

I've been playing whenever I'm off work
lvl 22 Cimmeria Ranger :p
on a PvP server (boy its Intense I'm loving it so far)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing more satisfying (in-game) then having an assassin jump you while your killing stuff, then to turn around and slaughter him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Combat system takes a tiny bit to get used to - try not to learn it all at once.. you have plenty of time in the single player part (which goes to around lvl 20) to learn how to do it all.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you roll on a PvP server its simple to spot a Pker, his the one that just made a V line straight towards you
everyone else just runs on the same angle they were when they saw you.. all Pkers adjust themself to be facing directly at you.. so either Turn and run or get the first hit on them 
------------------------------------------------------------
If your fighting and an assassin stabs you in the back - double click you move backwards button.
This will make you do a leap backwards - which will put you in a nice position to either A) Hit back or B) Turn and run

My experience so far, Lv 16 Conqueror, EU Aquilonian RP-PVP server:
Good points so far:
- The combat system is really great and dynamic because it is manual, none of that 'lock and lol' bull****. I love the fatalites and the overall bloody hack in slash feel in combat. It will be truely epic in a large scale battle assuming your machine doesn't drop to 1 frame a second.
- If you roll on a PVP server you know what the deal is. 
Bad points so far:
- You have to spend far too long in the newbie zone, 20 levels is to much it needs to be reduced to 10 levels. The quests are boring and the cut scenes you cant skip through, npc dialogue is too long as well. So far for the first 16 levels in terms of starter pve quests are terrible compared to wow.
-FPS is shockingly bad on my 3ghz, 1gb ddr2, radeon x1950 system, ive had to turn everything off or down to even move. My machine is stripped bare of all useless background processes, enhancements and so on and just runs Bf2, c&c, eve and this on a 10k raptor drive. I've ordered 3gb of ram to see if this helps, this gaming rig is about 3 years old now.
-The install is around 32 gig after patching
Early days I know, I will hold my full damning review until the day of lv 80. By then a lot of issues and content will have been seen to.
PS. oh btw, if you turn all the graphics settings up the game looks is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

So far it's a pretty epic game!
Although it seems (from looking at the forums) that a lot of people are having "trouble" running it... Except me!
- 3gig DDR2
- 8800 GT
- e8400
On my 780i mobo, where I've been able to play the game on MAXED settings with an average FPS of 50 in cities and around 100+ outside. The only thing I can nag about are the patches... after a nice 24gig install, there's about 8gigs of patches to download (and probably more to come!).
And for anyone interested, level 37 HoX on 'Set' server  .
Being able to turn into a demon god is soooooo awesome.

I'm a little worried about the progression of my HoX, I have Desecrating essence, is that the only ability that turns me into a demon? From the wiki it certainly seems that way but I thought turning into a demon was the classes entire point? Please tell me I'm missing something, a small buff for 25 seconds isn't really what I thought it would be...

The game is pretty much alot of fun though it might geht a little pointless in the higher lvls. You loose nothing by dying, ist even easier to die than running all the way back through the playfield. As a consequence it's pvp without any losses (not even a evil rezz penalty) - that makes things enjoyable at first because you can slaughter and get slaughtered without any problem, but later on even with keeps i believe it will get pretty dull.

There is a slight death penalty, your attacks do less damage every time you die for 30 mins and it stacks.
Not much of a penalty at all really.

Im having a Real blast in AOC ! im a 24 lvl barbarian in CROM. Its a PVE server and i chose it because i hate ganking.
Question is, is there any other difference between pvp and pve servers besides being unable to kill while walking/questing around ?
I heard something that on PVE servers there would be no Guild wars or something, anyone heard something like that?
all in all, AOC is fun ! really fun !

You're overexagerating Benco, you get a fixed -2 attackrating which is not even noticable after 4 deaths, not to mention that you can just go to your grave and eliminate the penalty through rightclicking.
I am playing in a pvp server and thats pretty much all - you can kill anyone anywhere.

But at least you can get a fight(Fair too, most of the time) at any time, in AoC. I like that.
PvP is just pointless though. I still prefer EvE pvp in terms of fun, but it's hard to get too.

WEll you can lose something.
Form what I understand there are only 7 spots in the game in which you can build a city in game.
It cost a LOT of resources to build. it Take 100's of players to build it. And it really is THAT big. I'll link a cool video in a bit maybe if I'm not lazy :P
Then people can take part in seigh warfare, and if they burn your 100 players combined resources city your built, then bye bye, it's gone have a nice day.
no insurance, or out post style takeover like eve.
Plus your kicked out.
sounds fun to me:)
However just to make sure were all on the same page. It doesn't beat EvE's PvP by a long shot :)
plus I might be wrong about all of the above!
other than eve pvp being awesome :)

I didn't exaggerate at all, if you die there is a penalty which is applied to both your melee and magical damages which can stack through multiple deaths. I said it was hardly a penalty at all, which it isn't, it's very slight. How is that exaggerating?

It depends on how you look at it - you can quest in the same zone for hours without zoning, but if you travel or go into dungeons then you get a zone each time. I dislike the instancing, but at least the post-20 zones are large.
