Age of Conan Retail Package to Contain Rise of The Godslayer
Apr 16th
Funcom has announced that a retail release containing both Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures and the expansion Rise of the Godslayer is to be published by Deep Silver.
Rise of the Godslayer, the first expansion to Conan, introduces the player to the lands of Khitai with several new world regions filled with dungeons, quests, and rewards.
It also introduces new gameplay features, such as an alternate advancement system, factions, and the new tiger and wolf mounts/combat pets that you raise from cubs.
You can only either ride the critters or use them in battle – not both. You choose the training method when you get them, after killing their mother.
The core game also includes all the updates made to the title since launch, as well as the puma, an exclusive in-game pet that will not be available for purchase online.
Players will also get access to a starter’s package containing several in-game items that will help them along in their dangerous, sexy adventures through Hyboria.
There’s no date just yet, as Rise of the Godslayer hasn’t been given one.

WoW News Snippet: Re: Blizzard Store » RPG-Exploiters
Apr 16th
More and more, it seems like Blizzard is making WoW into a micro transaction store. I just read that they now added a Celestial mount, and some weird robot critter companion.
I want to mention that when I looked at the source code of the page, that the celestial mount, shows a limited run of 100, whereas 12 have been sold and only 88 of them are left for sale. This will make this an extremely rare mount for WoW US players. I find more interesting that there is a limit to 10 purchases at a time. Makes me wonder if an enterprising individual will go out there and snatch some up, for sale use later.
You can check out the flying mount over at the Blizzard Store.

There are hundreds of MMO is out there, but only few of them are actually playing trouble! Let’s face the facts, MMOs like World of Warcraft (WoW), Age of Conan (AoC) EverQuest II (EQ2) and Aion: Tower of Eternity all cost just a penny, and nobody has that much free time on their hands. Ultimately you have to take a decision, which is that you pay to play? In this article we will see some of the higher profile major MMO on the market and offer our thoughts on the matter.
World of Warcraft
What’s this?: World of Warcraft, WoW, or as it came to be called by that play, it is probably the most consistently polished and well defined MMO on the market. Published by Blizzard in 2004, it quickly supplanted the original EverQuest that the MMO of choice for most, eventually becoming something of a household name. It is played by the hardcore and casual, for schoolchildren, forties, soccer moms and even in families as a sort of bonding exercise.
