Production Update

As mentioned last week, we are aiming to have a short downtime next week to make a few final tweaks in the 2.0 update series and to make preparations for the upcoming Nights of the Lost Souls Seasonal Event. This then opens up the path for the start of the 2.1 series and clears the way for us to deploy the first testing versions to the test live server over the next few weeks.


Hollywood recognizes Godslayer score!

Knut Avenstroup Haugen, the composer of both the original Age of Conan soundtrack as well as the score of the Rise of the Godslayer expansion, has picked up a nomination for best original score from the Hollywood Music in Media awards. The nomination is a fantastic acknowledgement of the hard work that was put into creating such an inspiring and authentic sound for the expansion's soundtrack so huge congratulations to Knut.


Upcoming Seasonal Event (end of October)

Following on from the success of last years events, we simply had to bring back the Night of the Lost Souls. These events proved very popular with all of you out there, and we wanted to make sure the troubled spirits of Hyboria made a seasonally suitable return!

With two solo quests, and an additional team quest, players will have to track down and defeat three Lost Souls. And there are brand new social items as rewards too. These new rewards also mean that even if you braved the Nights of Lost Souls in the past, you will be able to get some brand new grim and macabre social items such as an "Unusually Useful Pict" (NOT a pet but nonetheless very handy) or a "Lost Soul" (very much a pet and a demonic one at that) only to name a few.

More information on the Nights of Lost Souls follows next week.
