Free to Play restrictions and Expansions
Free to Play restrictions:
All classes are free to play!
-12 inventory slots(remain:12+bag)
-30Bank slots(remain:20)
gold limit: 10g rest will be saved.
Raids: can only enter to 2: Kilikky and Yakhmar
Instances: all instances before lv80
Offline Levels: Unavailable
Veteran Points: Unavailable
Because the gold limit you can't buy swift or armored horses
No AA timer.

What it means for you?
You can't get the best mounts and best PVE items as f2p player, but still can buy the BEST PVP items to any lv, and still can get the best gears to lowlv pvp(dungeon armors).

Expansions:

Rise of the Godslayer:
It's a very big expansion, this unlocks you the AA table!
For the other contents you need premium:
4 very huge well developed playfield with ~15instances+ T4 raid.

Turan:
Whole turan expansion is non premium content:
1xPlayfield for lv50-55
1xlv80 instance
t3.5 raid
some other pve thing
Combat system
I think a video is worth a thousand words so here is a video about:
Servers
Is there 2 main international servers: Fury and Crom
Fury(pvp): I recommend this one.
Well, i always say pvp server is same then pve but here you can do world pvp so this have a bonus compared to pve.
World PvP can be wild and rough for a newcomer, because here everyone who you will see, will be red and you have big chance to get attacked by everyone.
Also some peoples will try to kill you when you are defenseless(while talking with npc, fighting with mobs etc.)
If you don't want trouble with pvp just go to Crom.

2022 called, theres a heck of a lot more than 150 players on AoC. Morbus seems to care more about insulting people and Morbing out than reality. Game is still alive enough to get help on random side quests from strangers around the same level as you. Without having to look for them in chat first. There are organic PvP ambushes, guilds and RP players in the wild too.

This slick David Attenborough style guide is still relevant to this day, the game mechanics have not changed. Player blocking zones are important and seldom learned by new players since its not obvious and spelled out in the starter zone. 10/10 chill town.

When someone called douchebag is writing guides you know the community is toxic.

Just realized this was posted in 2013, so it's irrelevant now.

But the thing is.. There's literally no point to subscribing to an MMO that only has about 150 people playing on a good day (dividing that by two servers).

Did you tried FC support at help.funcom.com? There is even a live chat in the bottom of register.ageofconan.com (only visible when they are online)

PvP forever AOC is the best PvP system now! Choose PvP server

True, crom is more populated, but if you ever want to pvp then crom is sucks..
At lv80 most of peoples having good gear like pvp t2 or t3 or pve t4(mostly on crom).
Without any pvp experience at lv80 you will hate the pvp and will have no chance.
In fury till you reach the lv 80 may you will die 300times but you will have some clue about how to survive.
Anyway questing or grinding is too boring(for me) without doing some pvp...
So meanwhile you lvling you can get pvp lvls also, and at lv80 you can get pvp gears for you pvplv what gives you enough defense to can survive at lv80 too.

BTW only mages or "clickers" have to fear the assassins..

Thing is, you don't explain exactly how PvP is in random maps. People camping quests spots, gankers mainly being Assassins/Rangers. Talking to ANY NPC makes you in a "cutscene" state, therefore you are an easy prey for gankers.

After leaving the game in 2010 (playing since 2008). What I kept in mind is that PvP servers are just messy, the PvP is not structured. Hell even in WoW it is more that these so called PvP fights (hey lvl 20 vs lvl 50-80 !! Enjoyable I guess).
No wonder why PvE servers were more populated and Crom IS more populated.
You can lvl up fast without worrying about jerks camping all day and wasting your time because they're high level and camping the only spot where you need to lvl for now.

Even in a PvE servers there's maps where you can do wild PvP and PvP Minigames too.

BTW, don't roll Assassin, it has become so cheap since the revamp lol
