from the new ign preview

The story will set players on a path to meet and eventually help save Conan and his kingdom, earning favor and entry into the world at level 20 or so. Of course, those that want nothing to do with single player can skip over the storyline, but at only 10-15 hours, it seems like a great way to start out a much larger MMO experience.
