A lot of updates and additional content have been coming down the pipe for Age of Conan in the last several months, and that pace doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon. It's one thing to slap another fifteen bucks on the table in order to give an MMO the second go-round. That's why we're wondering how many previously subscribed players would be interested in re-installing and patching (a courageous task indeed) the game to see how things have changed.

All things considered, we'll probably see a "come back for free" deal out of Funcom sometime this year. And it's possible that new and intriguing content updates will have manifested on the live servers by that time. Our curiosity will of course mean a revisit to Hyperborea for us, but what about for you, our dear readers?

When news of impending server merges in Age of Conan broke in December, it caused a bit of a stir -- particularly in the post's comments. Age of Conan Producer Craig Morrison later said the merges would take place in stages, but then technical issues arose, postponing these changes for roughly a month before Funcom was confident it could go off without a hitch.

Earlier today, one month after the initial plan, the first set of servers were merged in Age of Conan: Bloodspire and Hyperborea have now merged into Bloodspire. Apparently AoC's virtual realm did not implode as the worlds were spliced together. Glen 'Famine' Swan, Age of Conan's US Community Manager, jokes, "I'm currently on Bloodspire now watching the global spam." Well there you go, business as usual in Hyborea. For the Age of Conan players among our readership, did the server merge affect you in any way -- be it positive or negative?
