Even the most solitary pre--level 20 young warrior will eventually have to dive into Age of Conan's multiplayer mode in order to earn enough experience to progress in the main story line. Luckily, diehard soloists shouldn't fear Age of Conan's multiplayer side. Once you tell your trainer at the Thirsty Dog Inn that you'd like to adventure with others, the game will transition to daytime, bringing you together with all the other "day questers" on your server. Grouping isn't required, though after playing every multiplayer quest available to level 1 to 20 players in and around the starter city in Tortage, I found that none of them forced me to group with other players. That said, some quests are definitely best handled by a small group of up to six players working together, especially when tackling bosses or multiple-enemy-killing missions.
