It's been a big week for Age of Conan, and Funcom game director Craig Morrison has capped it off with his traditional end-of-the-month development update. Though it's a bit redundant if you've been paying attention over the last few days, Silirrion does let us in on a general patch schedule now that all the cats are out of the bag.
The next update will officially bring about AoC: Unrated and the new business model and will also feature new content in the form of the Forgotten City and Breach auto-content generation dungeons we've discussed previously. The Funcom team has also eased up on the Khitai dungeon difficulty, at least for normal mode, and Morrison says, "the earlier instances have also been made more accessible for those arriving in Khitai for the first time, and will not require AA investment to be worthwhile options."
Finally, we get a look at the list of tech-related improvements in the offing as well as confirmation that the film-related Savage Coast of Turan adventure pack will be part of the game's fall update cycle. Check out all the goods on the official forums.

@winterborn Fairly stupid assumption to make. LotRO/DDO went F2P yet their content updates are free to subbers.

@(Unverified) They have seemed to address most of current subscribers concerns so far so I think it can only benefit the game just like it has for other mmos.

I am trying out AoC again. I finally have a decent enough computer that i can AoC on high settings with good frame rates and I am loving it. The level of detail is unparallelled, and the settings is awesome. I am very much looking forward to the up coming content updates and will definitely be re-subbing. I'll probably play this till SW:tOR comes out.

I will be returning to the game as an F2P player.
