- A Tale of Two Communities - 10 June 2016
Greetings, You may have noticed recently that this Steam hub is now called "Age of Conan: Unchained OLD". Previously we had two different hubs, one for the EU and one for the US. In order to bring our community together, this Steam hub will be dismantled at a later date. Please make sure that you go here -- http://store.steampowered.com/app/217750 And download the client from this hub instead. This will add it to your games library, and you may safely remove the Age of Conan: Unchained OLD entry from your library (if it was even there).

- Greetings from the Game Director: Romain “Tilty” Amiel! - 20 January 2016
http://l3cdn.funcom.com/aoc/artworks/DevGMWave2-612x337.jpg Hey everyone! My name is Romain Amiel, but you may know already know me as Tilty. I'm the "new" Game Director for Age of Conan, stepping in for Matt. I'm actually not that new to the project, I was one of the Gameplay Designers of AoC starting in 2007 when I first joined the team. Back then I worked on the content for the 1 to 20 level range, I particularly enjoyed setting up the events happening in the Volcano, or creating the city life in Old Tarantia. Soon after launch I worked on the Treasury of the Ancients and revamped Black Castle, before moving to Ymir's Pass where Joel and I spent a few months designing and implementing the zone. During that time one of my fondest memories was working on the associated dungeon, the Amphitheatre of Karutonia. They asked for an epic looking fight involving the Frost Father, and they got…
- The Year Past; the Year Ahead - 20 January 2016
http://l3cdn.funcom.com/aoc/artworks/Odonoptera_picture043-612x337.jpg Hey, folks! I’m Community Manager Andy “Odonoptera” Benditt, and we’re going to be taking a look back at what we’ve accomplished in 2015, and also take a gander towards the horizon in this new year. Starting with February 2015, we released a comprehensive achievement system that provides incentives to go about your daily business, try something new or unusual, or return to an area you haven’t visited in a long time. In April, thanks to your feedback and comments, we were able to expand and improve upon this feature, and now there’s a huge list of things to strive for. We also added the Panorama achievements to the game, which let you explore some of the gorgeous backdrops and landscapes Hyboria has to offer--from a new perspective! We also want to thank the community for all the videos we’ve seen pop up that show the…
