Eurogamer has the word from Leipzig's Games Convention that Funcom is spooling out new information about their newly-released title Age of Conan. Among the most interesting tidbits: concept art for the first AoC expansion should be released later this week. Word is that it has a "strongly oriental look", perhaps hinting at an Eastern-themed context.

First off, this post is not part of giant campaign to promote World of Warcraft, Age of Conan or any other game. This post is based on two things: a recent opinion piece at MMOCrunch regarding AoC's "demise", and an eyebrow-lifting quote from Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime that says "40% of the World of Warcraft subscribers that left for Age of Conan have since returned."

If you've not yet reached level 40 in Age of Conan, you could be forgiven for not knowing a single thing about gems or gemcutting. There's no reason why you should; gems don't even drop before level 40. But gems are, right now, one of the most controversial subjects in AoC to date.

When you hear Age of Conan, you probably think half-naked women, hack and slash, or perhaps 'bugs and unfinished content.' We're betting you never think of NPC children playing games, but that's just what today's One Shots shows off!

The servers are down this morning for extra time, allowing a major patch to be applied to Age of Conan. This particular set of changes has been a long time in the testing, going through several iterations on the Testlive server.

The Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic series of video games has taken a significant chunk of my gaming life that I'm never getting back.

Since some people may not be too familiar with the triumvate of classes I am talking about, let's touch on this a bit first.

It is amazing to see the vast changes that underwent with the advent of Internet in the world of entertainment especially in the gaming world as well as in the way that people think. Earlier people playing computer games were looked upon as nerds or geeks who were basically unsocial beings.

So you have a boring job. Perhaps you are a stay at home mom and your kids sleep a lot during the day time. Maybe you are a night owl and just find yourself getting mighty bored in the wee hours that you find yourself awake at night. Whatever your reason for getting into online games, you probably have as good a reason as the next.
