We have decided to play on the Fury server when the player versus player urge is too strong. A group of friends basically made the decision for us, which is all well and good. Starting fresh is always fun too. See you there, perhaps? We’ll update the characters to look for in the sidebar when we’ve decided what to play.

Craig Morrison on Age of Conan, Post 1.05
In this video diary, executive producer Craig Morrison speaks on where Age of Conan is today, and what they did with the 1.05 update. Also lots of cool footage from the new areas.
One of the upcoming news is PvP gaming where smaller guilds can battle it out. And he also hints on the upcoming expansion.
PvP Guide at MMORPG.com
Want to survive on a Player-versus-Player server? Then the two page guide over at MMORPG.com might be the solution for you. Granted, most of the stuff in there is pretty basic, but it is worth a read nonetheless.
The first thing you should do is form a group. Being a lone wolf or participating in some sort of honor bound duel is fine and all but chances are you will just be fodder for a gank group (which usually consists of 3-6 players), so make a few friends that you can call on if things ever take a turn for the worst. A group is the biggest deterrent for would-be PvPers. That Assassin that has been eying you from the shadows isn’t going to step up when he sees you have a few friends with a general dislike for his sneaky tactics watching your back.
Ymir’s Pass is Here
And that’s just two weeks after the PvP overhaul, which we haven’t written much about yet. Nice, very nice. Keep it up!
Game Update to Address Stun
Being stunned by a ganking high level Ranger is a drag on PvP servers, so this is good news:
Firstly the way how crowd control and immunities work has been adjusted. This change now will cause players to break stuns, fears, roots, snares and charms when they have lost a certain amount of health. This should give players a fair chance to withstand these spells and fight back.
There will also be a change in combos, making them shorter and hence easier to execute, but they’ll also be less powerful.
The next game update is due in a couple of week’s time, and these new additions should already be on the Testlive server.
