    The Hyborian Backpackers are back out into the sun, after a stop in the Sanctum of the Burning Souls last week. On the cards for this latest Age of Conan adventure is the Khopshef Province region, a vast desert with a number of towns, both friendly and hostile. Not only are there quests galore for the outdoor areas, but this zone plays host to a handful of instances as well that are absolutely worth a visit. Check out our gallery guide to see what Khopshef has to offer. To Khopshef >> Gallery: The Hyborian Backpackers Guide: Khopshef Province Having fun in Conan's homeland?

    Just what does it take to kill a rumor, anyway? Not so long ago, we investigated rumors that the mature content in Age of Conan was being 'scaled back', and came away unconvinced that any such thing was happening. More recently, the anatomical changes to the succubus model suggested that rather than taking mature content out, the developers might in fact be adding more. Even then, however, there was still one point of concern: the impending changes to the Pyramid of the Ancients. Many AoC players who believed censorship was happening were convinced the harem girls in the Pyramid, who had previously been notably lacking in garments (and occasionally hair), would be covered up in order to placate a hypothetical lobby of 'prudes'.
