I can see the turmoil in my people's streets
on this immoral plain of stone sorrow greets

today is no different it is just a date
just another mark on calendar's slate

I come bringing aid and hope for the masses
whereas the tyrant and dictator's eye passes

O woe for my people for every death and ruined life do you believe in your vice? do you enjoy your strife? with every war, with every death, with every tear I am with you throughout all...

The Age of Conan US servers will come down for an update on 3rd of July at 11 am GMT / 7 am EDT. The downtime is scheduled to last about 5 hours. The update we deployed today caused certain items to lose their sockets. A table was left out of a re-export which caused the sockets of certain items to disappear. According to our developer team any socketed gems that were put in before the patch still exist on the items (they just can't be seen or give bonuses). This update will fix this problem and...

Now that the first month after launch is behind us, we have decided to change from two game updates a week to one (Wednesdays, 11am GMT / 7am EDT).

There is a number of reasons for this, but these are the most important
ones:

• We want to reduce the downtime.
• We want each new update to be on our test server a few days longer to ensure that everything works as intended before releasing it.

The number of updates and bug fixes we do to the game will not decrease because of th...

My fellow Hyborian Adventurers ... Last week I promised that I would do my best to have a more detailed update on the issue about Male vs. Female attack speed/damage ready by today. It?s quite possible that not everyone will be thrilled by what this update contains but you as a community deserve to know both what?s causing it, why it?s taking us this long to fix it, and how we plan on fixing it. Let me begin with saying ?yes, we here at Funcom agree with you; this is an unacceptable bug?. We n...

Greetings! Today we are proud to announce the launch of our new Age of Conan Testlive Server. This server is open to everyone with an active Age of Conan account. If you can log onto the Live servers you will be able to log onto the Testlive server. Until today our test server has been limited to former beta testers only so we are very excited to open it publicly for all Age of Conan players! The Testlive server will be the first place to see and experience new updates before they reach the L...

Greetings, Server issues on the day of an update are sometimes a sad truth in MMORPGS and though we managed to bypass those for most of the first month since release, today it hit us and it hit us hard. The result was either a very bumpy playtime or no playtime at all. We tried our utmost best to bypass those troubles the whole day long without a real full-fledged downtime, but in the end nothing else could help the troubles that were introduced with today's update. For that we are truly sorry...
