Age of Conan Powerpoints system
DateTime:9/27/2009 11:20:23 AM

I assume most of you got Clan of Conan #17 in your e-mails already; if not, you can always just read it online. It is really an important issue as it outlines some of the biggest upcoming additions to the game. Putting the additional quests, voice-overs, some new dungeons and UI polishing aside, it boils down to three major additions - Kingship (and the whole guild alliance system coming with it), PvP consequences and Powerpoints.

Powerpoints seem to be an alternate advancement system that should give you something to do after you hit lvl80, among other things. Here's a condensed version of how you can obtain these:

By having an active subscription (1 Powerpoint / week for every character)
By having many guild members (1 Powerpoint / week for every guild member, provided 100 or more guild members login at least once a week)
By owning a battlekeep (1 Powerpoint / week for every guild member)
By winning PvP mini-games (1 Powerpoint / every 40th mini-game you win after lvl40)

Post-level 80 reward system (1 Powerpoint / each level you advance beyond 80)
