Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. (Jan 22nd) |
Famine gives us a little update: http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=175323
What do you reckon the "little suprise" could possibly be??? Community talks about it here: http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=175337 Maybe it is the new mammoth mounts on test server? Surely not server merges or dx10 yet? who knows! |

Good stuff, thanks for the link too! Definitely ruling out DX10 in any live mode, as I'm fairly positive they'd want generate excitement for it over several weeks leading to release to the live production servers. Figure Funcom would also like to get in a few previews in with several leading gaming sites and additional footage as well; to get the best ROI on their efforts leading up to and through xmas for those sales as well. Negative press if it doesn't go well is never good during the holiday gift buying season in my view. Same goes for server merges. There is a LOT of detail that needs to be communicated before just going live with it, as well as setting time lines for the subscriber base. As for the mammoths...that's a tough call. If they're available to everyone and scaled the same as those who went through different channels for their mammoths and rhinos; then I can see alienating or making some of those folks unhappy. If they're not scaled clones of those mounts, but look great/better than the originals, you could still have some unhappy folks based purely on a cosmetic fluff item looking better than their pre-order mounts. Sketchy either way.
Hmm...no idea! My curiosity is piqued though and I'm fine with something cool or ridiculously bad like a recipe for Lefse that would provide some nice thanksgiving reading/chuckles to enjoy. |

It's funny what DragonDaFirst on official forums say: "We might just get lucky, and they might finally release a patch that doesn't screw up some part of the game when it comes out . That would be why they are taking so much extra time on it...-cough cough.- Sorry to have ruined your surprise there FunCom." Haha, that WOULD be a surprise My guess is mammoths they talked about earlier. I think we can all agree on that the game needs more mammoths. |
