The Conan Vault has kick ass snaps of Xibaluku.

Ohh joy, look so forward to when this hits live servers end of Jan or early Feb.

Have to agree, As soon as i get bored of Moria, i am for sure coming back to AoC, game is starting to  improve and the game play and graphics cannot be missed, one has to surely appreciate what AoC has, i will be subscribing back to AoC in about 5weeks,,,,cya then..

It has been approving greatly!

 If you define "new" as "kickass" then sure. I on other hand define "kickass" ass something beyond the normal and nothing in this game has so far been kickass apart from cybor.

This "kickass" endgame will be finished in one day, it's a frikking dungeon, not an expansion. If they don't add grind-like elements to the dungeon, it's going to get boring under one week.

You mean the place where you can only get the ingrediants for the crafting potion that will dissolve gems stuck in gear? How handy is that!!!

Litch King was done in what 1-2 days.

While I was less than impressed with AoC during beta and even less so with the way the game was launched I must say that nothing they have done has changed my mind.  Which, according to Kotaku may be unfortunate.

Hopefully the closing of more than half their servers will allow them to invest some cash into the actual game?

It's funny that the only website of close to 50% less traffic is Kotaku compared to other similar sites last year. I wonder why?  With such statements taken out of context and misleading headlines along with mass favouritism shown to other games getting the same treatment.

Does he talk about how many servers in total are left, future plans and how much can a server hold?

If a game is tanking and reading last rights why are now planning to have similar servers to say lotro?

I'm sure people can do the math if a server is propositioned to hold 15k over the 18 left PLUS new ones coming in. OFC not all servers will be full but most after the merges which is the whole point anyway.

You see the original article was here: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/funcom-to-close-over-half-of-conan-servers  minus the addition to the headline..

Those raids in WotLK are just an aspect of the game, not the whole content.

Oh I'm sorry was The 2 Lvl 80 additions (which are not even on test server yet) whole content?

This is just an addition to the game, you know, improving it, giving the players what they want and ask for. There is also a heavy tie in with crafting changes coming and story plot.

When is this stuff patched in? Will it be in place with 1.04?

I wish you FC folks would learn that you can talk about the subject of the posts without resorting to bashing other games, the subject is: "Kickass Lvl 80 Content".

Please discuss this "Kickass Lvl 80 content" in AoC, not what you deem deficient in WAR or WoW, get a grip on yourselves...

I'm interested in what you heathens have to say about this upper Lvl content, I left the game because of lack of content and boredom at high Lvls, give us the skinny...

All endgame now in any game seems to be carebear bs. And the lich king was finished in just over 3 days by some europe guild. Sk gaming i believe.

Honestly, the content added doesn't mean much if the game still has issues like getting faceraped by grey mobs, pvp being screwed to hell, including the 'levels/stats dont affect pvp' junk.

The few times I thought of trying it again I remembered the gaping flaws, including totally screwed up equipment, and remember why I stopped.

To even compare World of Warcraft's raidcontent with Age of Conan's ridicolous, broken instances must come from someone who has no idea what the difference really is. For all i dislike WoW and it's popcorn pink happyending content - there are absolutely NO other game that comes remotely close to having the raidcontent World of Warcraft has. Period. And as for OP's "level 80 kick ass" levelcontent: good luck beating a very dead smelly horse. Waited 5 years for AOC i did, now i cant even read my ol' COnan books on the shitter - out of pure disgust. I still want my money back FC.

To even compare a game that been out for 4+ years with one that been out for 7-8 months,it's just stupid.I started playing wow in Feb.2005 and I can tell you for sure it was not much endgame.MC was up,but it was unplayable.Buggy like hell.I dont think MC was even possible before May cause of all the bugs.The game had been out for 6+ months by then.Also ppl seem to forget how shitty the wow launch really was.There where days and weeks when the servers where so laggy,it was unplayable.It took Blizz atleast a year to sort things out.
