Age of Conan updates detailed

On top of teasing the first Age of Conan expansion, Funcom has shown off some of the forthcoming free content updates to its fantasy MMO Age of Conan at Leipzig.

Funcom highlighted two new zones, new and revamped dungeons and itemisation, and the graphical updates to be expected from the game's future DirectX 10 support.

Ubiquitous Funcom mouthpiece Erling Ellingsen said Funcom intended to answer the criticisms of players of the game who feel the game is too light on content in the second half. "We're really serious about adding content," Ellingsen said. "We agree that content thins out after level 55."

Sanguis Attexo has grown stronger with this merge with New Dawn and Virus. We welcome our new brothers and sister with arms held high and the ale floating. Never since the opening of the gates of Hyboria has there been so many friends online. Sure was a sight. Tears where wiped, hugs were delivered, kisses were.. now, well, i don't know about that though.

It all took place in the Purple Carp Tavern where we sat down and with each our reprecentative we signed the treaty with blood. Happy days. The birds were singing and the waitresses were willing.

Now lays ahead of us, a great future. Nothing will stand in our way, and our name shall be heard spoken on everybodys lips. Fear shall be in their eyes whenever they try and stand against us. From this day on, our swords will raise in the air, our shields will protect our friend next by, the spells will rain from the sky and we will LOVE to hear the screams of our enemies twitching on the ground. From this day on we stand united.

Remember, WE are the best of the best...

New Age of Conan patch on Testlive details PvP XP, gear, notoriety

At last, the first portion of the promised PvP improvements are starting to appear over on Age of Conan. The Testlive server, where new patches are tested out prior to their going live, now has a new patch, and the developers have taken the opportunity to describe the basic elements of the new PvP system. These include PvP experience, gear, and player notoriety.

It's very important to note that this is all currently in testing, and is not guaranteed to make it to live in its current form. With that in mind, we bring you details of the new PvP system after the cut, hot from the Testlive forums. It's not completely implemented yet, but does give an idea of where the AoC developers are going with this.
