Same! Rented server with friends is amazing fun. There’s 3-4 of us, which is a good size to craft pretty much anything and in a reasonable amount of time. Switch purges to ‘minimum of 2 online’, and you never have to worry about getting wiped while you’re offline (and they’re more fun with 2+).
The exploration side of Conan is great fun, as the map is pretty huge. Constantly finding small caves and details in the most out-of-the-way places. And as far as looks go (on Ultra), i’m still impressed watching a sunrise, or Sandstorm blow in. And the other biomes (jungles and mountains) are stunning.
Reason no.3. Soon you will be able to have a pet Rhino called Mr. Buttons. Who doesn’t want that?
