Just a quick note to let you all know that we’re rolling out a new section today, called the Gallery. This new part of the site will feature artwork, screenshots and teaser images, just like you thought it will. And with that, just a small heads up that we’ll be pushing out some at least somewhat relevant image content to get us started. Thanks.

Certainly.
But this is what we got for now. We’ll bling it some more later on, when we’re not too busy playing Age of Conan or writing snarky blog posts.
So yeah, we’re getting there.
More About the Stats
In the 1.05 patch, one of the news was revamped statistics. In short, everything makes a lot more sense these days, as active players will tell you. The Message from the King blog writes a bit about how the core stats (like Strength or Intelligence, as is used in the example as well) trickles down to sub-stats and ups your various stats. 1 point in Strength will up your Armor by 2, for example.
