The latest MMO to arrive on Steam is Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. It will be available for an additional 10% off for one week until Sept 11. This means that instead of paying the usual $59.99 for it, you are only paying $53.99 - and after your first month subscription fees will start applying. If you are already an existing AoC subscriber, the key you get from Steam will not work.
Ok, now that we got that out of the way, I am just wondering if it will take a whole damn week for you to download it via Steam or if it will be much faster. I know that gaming discs load super fast compared to getting it offline, but when we got our game keys for AoC here at Gaming Today, it took some of us over a week to download the game off the Funcom servers. One of us, that person being me, was at 92% when the whole thing went to hell on me and refused to connect to the servers ever again. So, I said to hell with AoC and never looked back.
Hopefully you will not run into a situation like this should you purchase AoC from Steam - I blame it all on Funcom and their crappy server connections.
