AoC Game Director gives us a hint of what's to come

Filed under: Fantasy, Age of Conan, Business models, Game mechanics, News items

In a "State of the Game" letter of sorts, Age of Conan's Game Director Gaute Godager gives us a bit of an update on what the month of June holds for the Funcom MMO. It's certainly appreciated when a game developer keeps the players in the loop so soon after the game's retail launch, and Godager makes good use of this letter in that regard.

An overview of the issues he addresses in this letter include:

  • New content, specifically in mid-late thirties and mid-late fifties levels. Plus, they plan to make the leveling speed smoother in those areas, reducing the need to grind.
  • An overhaul of the PvP system, adding consequences and other small things.
  • Reported bugs are constantly being fixed, so keep up the reporting!
  • A new large outdoor region will be added for the 55-60 range this summer.
  • They are staffing up Customer Service, Quality Assurance and the Community departments.
  • Look for even more information at the end of next week.
