By Nicod3mus Overall - Age of Conan may be the first 3rd generation MMORPG to get the model right. Many have come and many have failed.

By Mike Fahey Setting The Scene Combat If you were to take the MMO completely out, those first 20 levels would make an excellent, if somewhat short single-player RPG. That's really the highest praise you can give an MMO. I would buy a single player game that played like this.
