Check out GGL's new Age of Conan contest.  You will basically be putting your face onto an Age of Conan character model.  Creepy but cool.  Prizes aren't that amazing and are all AOC specific but I commend Funcom and GGL for thinking outside of the box and coming up with something this off beat.

[] Is Age of Conan finally about PVP ?

submitted by lifebane on Nov 28th, 2008 - : - 0 comments

We all know that Age of Conan under delivered on their PVP promises.  PVP Rankings and consequences in particular were missing. And of course the drunken brawling which promised a bit of humor and a break from the norm in the game world.  While regrettably I cannot say that you can now jump in game and drunkenly pummel your friends, I can say that recent patches have gone a long way to making the PVP aspect of the game much more interesting and inline with what original...

Hail fellow Hyborians!

First I want to let you guys and gals know who I am. I have in recent months taken over the crafting system here at Funcom. Rest assured I do read the crafting forums. And believe me when I say individual suggestions are noted, and we are working hard to accommodate them where appropriate. Obviously, some concerns are easy to address, while others tie back to known underlying issues. It's always a balance between spending resources on a quick-fix...
