The devs over at
Age of Conan have just
posted their August newsletter on the game's official website. In it they look back over the last month and the announcement of the new
AoC expansion,
Rise of the Godslayer, as well as clarifying some titbits about the new expansion. This includes thanking players for their feedback and explaining why they chose to venture to
Khitai (the
Conan-version of China) over other lands featured in the original books. The devs also touch on the fascinating subject of world design and how player feedback has shaped the new armor they are working on.
The most interesting nugget in the newsletter is a sneak peak at what the immediate future holds for
AoC in the form of the 1.06 update. This includes the possibility of splitting the update into parts rather than deluging players with a giant patch. They also look at the new level 80 dungeon, the House of Crom, the Veterans System and Tier Three Raiding. So if you're an
AoC player excited about the new expansion and the next big update, you might want to head over to the official site and check out the
newsletter for yourself.
