Put down the pitchforks... It's no secret that MMOGs are often subject to what can only be referred to as growing pains. While there's no Mike or Ben Seaver, they can still be very rough on the average player. William "JoBildo" Murphy offers his point of view and lessons learned after many a rough start with games of the past:

"That Age of Conan remains #1 in retail stores several weeks after release is of incredible importance to us, and proves that the game has a large potential beyond the early adopters," said Morten Larssen, VP of Sales and Marketing in Funcom. "With more than 700.000 accounts created so far we have a fantastic platform to build from, and we will continue our marketing spend to further drive numbers in the months to come. It also means that Funcom can dedicate significant development resources on evolving the game even further, naturally giving us a great hope for the future of Age of Conan."

Durham, USA - June 30, 2008 - Eidos and Funcom are proud to announce that Age of Conan continues to dominate the PC sales charts in all markets where the game is available. Over the last few weeks it has remained the overall #1 PC game in most European markets, whilst also performing tremendously well on several all-format charts. In the US, Age of Conan impressively conquered the #1 PC spot for the first two weeks of available NPD data. Due to the amazing interest surrounding the game, more than 700.000 gamers have now signed up for an Age of Conan account. In the second month after release it is also clear that Age of Conan has taken the position as the undisputed #2 subscription MMO in the western world.

Funcom today announced a partnership with huge Russian developer/publisher 1C Company to localize Age of Conan for the Russian-speaking market. All text and voices in the game will be translated to Russian, and 1C will provide customer support and community services to the Russian community. There will also be a Russian server. This is all due in Q4 of this year. Buying Aoc gold is a method to save time.

This morning sees the arrival of one of the larger patches for Age of Conan. To get the bad news out of the way first: the new PvP changes, including the fugitive system, PvP XP and PvP gear, aren't in yet. They are still in testing over on the Testlive Server, so interested players can experience the system first-hand and give feedback.

Or bunnies. Nah. Whatever it is this Priest of Mithra is doing with this spell rotation in Age of Conan, it certainly looks pretty cool. Today's One Shots comes in to us from Oz, who snapped this a few days ago. We have no idea what area in Age of Conan this is, nor why one might want to stand there and put on the mother of all light shows. But we're certainly glad Oz caught a screenshot of it and sent it our way to share!

Funcom released update this week that has been met with mixed reactions from the community due to the changes in gems and the new bind on equip/bind on acquire mechanics. This has led to a lot of discussion and debate about the update with some feeling the changes were needed and others meeting it with skepticism. With all the activity and heated discussion taking place over the latest changes it can be a difficult job finding and keeping up with the good discussion so the Border Kingdom Cryer is here to summarize this weeks content and the top pieces of discussion across the forums.

A Very Large Family Every week we at Ten Ton Hammer strive to bring you closer to the community that fills up Hyboria in Funcom's Age of Conan. This week William "JoBildo" Murphy had the pleasure of sitting down with Cole and Zodiac from The Kinship.
