'Shady camps' and more in latest Age of Conan Testlive patch N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - 'Shady camps' and more in latest Age of Conan Testlive patch Just as players' patience was starting to fray again, 'Patch 3' has arrived on the Age of Conan testlive server, and it is a chunky one - Massively counted at least 594 meg. Feel like browsing the patch notes? Make a nice cup of something, put your feet up, take your time... there are six pages to wade through.

Obviously Massively can't detail all of them here, but they range from the silly-but-desired 'Party people rejoice - proper drunkenness has been implemented!' to the necessary 'Fixed several causes of crashes and assert errors' to the trivial 'For decency's sake, Old Finn now has pants!'

Age of Conan PvP gear list N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Age of Conan PvP gear list It took a while getting there, but PvP gear finally made it to Age of Conan. Was it worth the wait? Apparently, yes. The PvP patch has caused a marked increase in enthusiasm for the game, and players are killing each other like never before in their haste to earn PvP levels. Unfortunately, the AoC PvP notoriety patch didn't go live yet, so nobody is being branded as a murderer or criminal no matter how many lower level passers-by they ambush and massacre.

Martuk at Ten Ton Hammer has put together the first part of an exhaustive catalog of all the PvP gear that's made it into the game so far, complete with requirements and bonuses.

Don't expect any "more" Adult Content N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Don't expect any "more" Adult Content New game director Craig Morrison, who has taken on the role following the resignation of Guate Godager, has addressed the players directly on the game's (missing) mature content.

Craig confirms that AoC was never going to be 'adults only', just as senior dialog writer Aaron Dembski-Bowden stated several months ago, but that 'the themes that come out through the quests and dialog that the team have written is very adult and does tackle some mature subjects really well'. This is how it's going to continue, and there is no question of Age of Conan 'toning down' its approach.

Massively: Age of Conan players get to grips with new PvP mechanics N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Massively: Age of Conan players get to grips with new PvP mechanics By a startling coincidence that probably has something to do with a planetary alignment in Capricorn or some such, the first big PvP patch went to the Age of Conan servers at about the same time a certain other game was gearing up for final launch. Massively has no idea how or why this could possibly have happened, and are frankly amazed at the synchronicity.

At any rate, the players have been getting busy killing each other; there are even reports that some servers are now 'booming'. We're seeing quotes like 'This is the most fun I have ever had on AoC.' Of course, we're also seeing posts that report tumbleweeds and lone and level sands stretching far away.

Funcom: Godager stepped down as "consequence" of Conan problems N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Funcom: Godager stepped down as "consequence" of Conan problems Gaute Godager, co-founder of Funcom, stepped down as a "consequence" of failures in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, according to the company's European product manager, Erling Ellingsen.

Earlier today, it was announced that the producer and game director of Age of Conan decided to quit the developer after 16 years, saying he was "dissatisfied" with the title.

"We don't want to go into all the specifics on what he was dissatisfied with - it's sufficient to say that there were elements in the game that he was not happy with and he wanted to take the consequence of that," Ellingsen told GamesIndustry.biz. "The consequence was him leaving the company and allowing someone else to take over the project."

Age of Conan declares rules for RP N4G
PC News from N4G | Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
PC - Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - Age of Conan declares rules for RP Better late than never? The graphically intense, atmospheric slashfest Age of Conan has had designated roleplaying servers since day one, but it doesn't seem to have occurred to Funcom to give that status any kind of binding definition, let alone a formal code of conduct. Now, though, the exhaustive rules for what players can and can't do on a roleplay server have been laid out.
