the Expansion has a lot more content though !

22

You are right but I only said “Expansions” because that term is generally known / used for things like DLCs that add new quests, dungeons, play fields and so on (in basically every game out there).
Adding both Adventure Pack and Expansion might confuse some people who are completely new to AoC and don’t know the difference (since there is no real difference besides the name).

23

I understand that and you did write it for the new players.

I just know from playing other games if I buy an expansion I expect something on the larger / grander scale, where as if I buy an adventure pack I know it’s going to be more limited in scope.

While I haven’t played a lot of MMO’s, the one’s I have or know of; DDO, LotRO, even WoW all make the distinction.

As a new player who just bought the expansions, this is probably the most valuable post I’ve read. About to hit 50 so great to know theres a spot for leveling other than Noble District/FotD. Thank you and bump for other noobs.

Thanks for the guide!

If I buy the 4 expansions in the in-game store, can I send them to any of my character and their contents will be accessible to all my existing and future characters?

Expansions are account bound, meaning you can access the DLC areas with all your characters as well as future characters that you create on that account. Once you bought an expansion it’s yours forever, it won’t leave your account anymore (no time limited stuff so to say).
The region access to these new playfields is not an item, it’s basically integrated into your account, if you log into the account management site (register.ageofconan.com) you can see all the activated things (such as the DLCs and the items you get from buying the “collectors editions”) you collected over time.

The only thing that is not possible: Buying an expansion on account A and then logging into account B trying to enter the DLC playfields with a character from that account. As I said, they are account bound.

Thanks a lot for your detailed answer! I was nervous because item store wanted me to select a character to send the zones to, as an item, instead of simply unlocking it for the account.
