Its a surival open world game. Not an MMORPG. Its more like Ark, Rust wipes monthly this is less often but still happens every few months depeding on the server admins.

This is to rust what a ‘74 Pinot noir is to bath tub whiskey.

This is an open world survival game.
You start off naked in a desert, have to collect materials, build stuff, weapons, buildings, crafting stations, fight off animals, npcs and monsters, until you're the king in your mighty castle built by your own hand.

Oh and its open world pvp.. and clans. Everything you build is destructible, either by NPCs or by other players. It has siege engine and explosives too.

Official servers don't wipe (but they have decay, so if you stay logged off for too long, two weeks usually; things you built will go away. Character stays.)

Private servers anything goes in terms of server settings and mods.

Very well said.

It is ALOT like rust except that there is a larger melee focus. Ranged is more complex in Conan. PvP tends to be less prevalent than in rust...don't get me wrong pvp servers are certainly pvp oriented but its not to the same extent at all. The Exiled Lands map has a hand crafted quality that you don't see on ANY Rust map. The building is similar. Conan is very PvE oriented though and has nice dungeons, pve areas, and just pve all over. The monetization model though is MUCH more predatory. Rust focuses on fun dlc for a specific dollar amount and a TON of skins that keep them afloat. Conan focuses on making you want some random thing that the bizarre offers up right now and if you don't go ahead and buy it now its gone (the intent appears to be to pressure ppl into buying crap).

The word MMORPG has become a very clouded blanket term these days unlike back in the early 2000's. You could technically argue that Conan and Rust are MMORPG's. Now you have games like Monster Hunter World using the term and when you have games like Warframe and Diablo Immortal having and using MMO in advertising, what is the definition of an MMO these days.

[Raithe]

I tend to think of MMO as indicating a "massive" amount of ppl are playing in a space in which they interact such as a single server. Conan has tens of players at best (which I count as a small pop). Rust has hundreds at most which seems like a medium sized population.

Semantics.....conan has like 0 to 40ish players on any server at once and anything above 10 is really not common except for the period after large updates ( like this one....and it has always subsided before ).

It's a RPG with open world survival aspects. Rust is a transient vagrant that wants so very hard to steal your stuff to trade for crack.

Rust is a carefully balanced and polished PvP survival game with some pve aspects
Conan is the opposite.

Have to agree with being opposite; Conan is actually fun.

Look at my profile, I have 1600hrs in Rust… Conan has almost zero in common with the game. I’d recommend playing PVE servers as the game feels more focused that way in comparison to PVP. You can PVP but a lot of times it’s slow due to time restrictions and base raiding is boringly pointless because getting resources are easy. Game is fun, don’t get me wrong but as I said, it’s nothing like Rust.

There is nothing that would make this game a MMO, and even the RPG mechanic are so basic that it would'nt qualify as an RPG.
It's simply a survival crafting game that's realy close to ARK, but with naked men and women instead of pooping dino.

Black Desert Online use a predatory monetisation system, everythings in Conan Exiles pass and shop are cosmetic. There is nothing predatory in this game if you have more willpower than a teenager.

"hold my beer", this bp and shop ain't predatory WHUT THA F.
look people are calling me a dude who complains in every thread but someone has to school you.

lets start before patch 3.0 we had 25+ item dlc packs for 10 dollar, now after patch 3.0 we have a store "a free2play system" with about 25 item pieces for 50 dollars "and you call this NOT predatory" LOL anyways, the battlepass well its a battlepass a concept of a free2play game "witch conan is not", the BP xp gain is so tweaked it will take you a looong time to complete and is designed to annoy you into buying the PB levels, and again you call this not predatory. **shakes my heads**

You can buy the next Pass if you finish this one, you will be able to get ALL pass by buy a single one.
Plus it's only cosmetic, nothing change if you don't get them. I can easily wreak any guy who brough everything in the shop and the pass, contrary to a game with realy predatory monetisation that actualy hinder your gameplay experiance if you don't pay.

It's not massively MP but it is a RPG, that's without question. MRPG
