| | This week the MMOReport touches on the launch of Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures. With one of the most successful launches in MMORPG history, Age of Conan has already achieved over 400,000 subscribers. For a newly launched game that is very impressive.
However, that wasn't the only thing touched on by the MMOReport. It seems that the popularity of Age of Conan is not limited to the game community alone, but a new Conan movie is in the works! Don't get to excited (ok go ahead and get excited) it isn't the one you think. The adult film Industry is also cashing in on this virtual cash cow. It seems that Whorelore, an adult Industry company is developing an adult film known as Rage of Bonan. And with catch phrases like, "Rogues do it from the rear" one can only guess how this movie will go. Finally a movie where the hero will truly get it in the end. /joking sarcasm off.
Itemization ftw...
Many people in the Age of Conan hyborian Adventures community have been voicing concerns about armor appearances and variations, but this week Jason "Athelan" Stone addressed some of those concerns on the official forums and give the players some good news on some things coming down the pipeline
We know right now people are feeling like all armor in Age of Conan is the same and brown. I assure you this is not the case, for along time now we have had a "GM area" where we spawned lots of NPC's that had all sorts of armor appearances so we could tell when art was completed. We have one of these for armor, weapons, and social clothing. Hundreds upon hundreds of appearances.
Anyway to cut to the chase I took your guys concerns and shot an email to Ole Herbjornsen our Lead Designer to ask about Itemization. Ole came back with some very encouraging news. They are going to put blue loot on bosses in the outdoor playfields now and not only on bosses in instances. In addition 3 sets of epic armours for each class (for a total of 36) will allow the item designers to move more of the unique stuff down to lower tiers and over from purple and blue towards green.
The gfx artists will also produce a lot of extra weapons which will further increase the visual variety. He expects these things to be coming into the game within the next week or two.
