<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/funcom">Funcom</a>'s Glen "Famine" Swan has put <a href="http://www.mmorpg.com/blogs.cfm?isapi_rewrite_remap=FC-Famine%2F072009%2F4356_Developments-on-the-Horizon&amp;bhcp=1">another entry into his blog at MMORPG</a>, discussing <em><a href="http://www.ageofconan.com/">Age of Conan</a>'s</em> upcoming guild features (which Craig Morrison elaborated on in his <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/24/craig-morrisons-latest-aoc-letter-discusses-guild-features-in-u/">recent game director letter</a>) as well as some class tweaks that the developers have been working on. Right now the dev team is looking at the Bear Shaman and Barbarian classes, with the Conqueror and Dark Templar up for possible changes after they're done with the first two. He doesn't spill the beans on exactly what might be happening with these classes but we're told to stay tuned for more information soon.<br /><br />The rest of Famine's blog post relates to things outside of the game. It sounds like the <a href="http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?p=2240666">Advocate Program</a> has been going well, but Funcom would like to bring a few more advocates on board. Along with the existing class advocates, they might be recruiting advocates specifically for areas like roleplaying and player-versus-player, as was planned <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/03/11/checking-in-with-age-of-conans-advocate-program/">some time ago</a>. Famine also gave a quick update on Funcom's plans for <a href="http://dragoncon.org/">Dragon*Con</a> in Atlanta this September. Among the activities will be a developer panel featuring <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Age-of-Conan/">Age of Conan</a>'s</em> lead designer Joel Bylos.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/03/aoc-dev-blog-discusses-class-tweaks-and-recruiting-more-advocate/">AoC dev blog discusses class tweaks and recruiting more advocates</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:00:00 EST.
