Highlights from Issue 13 of the Age of Conan newsletter
The trend to release a monthly newsletter for in-development MMO titles is terrific. Warhammer's newsletter is great enough, but the Age of Conan newsletter for February is bursting with new and shiny stuff. The image above, for example, comes from a batch of new screenshots depicting the Border Ranges zone. This screenshot in particular purports to be working evidence of mounted combat! Most excellent. The Border Ranges are more fully described in a writeup of the contested zone, apparently a center of ongoing friction between the Aquilonian and Nemedian factions.
Other highlights include:
- A discussion of crafting in the world of Hyboria.
- Writeups on two vicious beasts, the Malicious Shadows and Corrupted Bears.
- An entire issue of the Age of Conan comic book (pdf) from Dark Horse, and a fan-made comic book.
- Links to information about their community event in Oslo.
- Wallpaper, videos, a developer profile, and a bunch more content.
Of course, you don't have to wait for us to link to it. In order to receive the newsletter in your inbox, it's a simple matter of pressing the right buttons on your keyboard.
