Alliance wars heading to Age of Conan
DateTime:9/27/2009 11:20:23 AM

Age of Conan is looking reward you active types, too. A "powerpoint" update is expected in the autumn, and will dish out rewards for a whole host of activities: killing lots of people, killing lots of monsters, doing guild things - generally making an effort.

That's just the tip of the killing-each-other iceberg, mind you, with an enormous "kingship" patch scheduled for later in the year. Here guilds can band together and form alliances, which can then go on to build castles, and even fancy culture-specific wonders.

These wonders are linked to higher powers; it all sounds very much like Dark Age of Camelot's relics that players fought to control. Funcom is also hard at work expanding the existing player-made villages, with promises of more computer-controlled characters to dot around the place and sell things, or just talk to.
