Well, now is your chance... Funcom is hiring two skilled concept artists to join their Montreal studio for Age of Conan's expanding content.

I've seen some pretty damn good artworks here in the Fan Art gallery and thought some of you might be interested...

To make it short, the Threshold of Divinity offers a brand new gaming experience by challenging up to four six-man groups with nine separate encounters and the Vile Nativity, a six-man group dungeon, adds seven encounters.

Also, a whole set of loot and rewards designed after the mythical Atlantean culture have been added.

We were given the opportunity to ask a few questions to Craig Morrison, Age of Conan’s Game Director.

With the new year approaching, I thought it was time to refresh the group's portal.

Some of you may have noticed the few changes I'm starting to operate (i.e. homepage layout), and many more will come. I'm actually planning to inject custom css in various elements. For example, the next update will bring custom gallery buttons (to replace the basic links, now in the top right box on the homepage).

The objective here is to finalize everything in the next couple of weeks so everything is fresh and shiny :)

If you want to give me feedback on the page layouts, the navigation, or the visibility of the content, please feel free ]]> http://age-of-conan.deviantart.com/journal/The-Savage-Coast-of-Turan-253053702 http://age-of-conan.deviantart.com/journal/The-Savage-Coast-of-Turan-253053702 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:49:49 PDT The Savage Coast of Turan !! nonadult journals/personal Age-Of-Conan http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/g/age-of-conan.png?2 Copyright 2011-2013 #Age-Of-Conan
Craig Morrison (Game Director) and Jean Francois Mignault (Art Director) were kind enough to answer a few questions for us, and share four AMAZING concept artworks.

I guess there were a lot of interaction between Funcom artists and the Conan movie Art direction. How would you describe this experience?

The team at Paradox Entertainment, who own and operate the Conan license, do a great job of involving all the different elements that are involved ]]> http://age-of-conan.deviantart.com/journal/The-group-is-now-SUPER-245775928 http://age-of-conan.deviantart.com/journal/The-group-is-now-SUPER-245775928 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:31:44 PDT The group is now SUPER !! nonadult journals/personal Age-Of-Conan http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/a/g/age-of-conan.png?2 Copyright 2011-2013 #Age-Of-Conan
Our group is growing in content, members and visitors. I have been thinking about upgrading to 'super' for quite some time now, and today it is done !!

So, you will notice some changes in the homepage, but also in the gallery. One of the main new feature is the ability to create subfolders (among others), so you won't have to search for long in the newly created 'Armor Sets' gallery.

We are currently working to adapt the galleries, so thanks for your patience :)

On a side note, this upgrade wasn't free. So if you want to show your support, feel free to send me some points...

Regards,

If you missed the information, or are waiting for AoC Unrated to come back, Funcom is working on a great new feature a.k.a 'the vanity armor system'.

It will allow you to completely customize your character look without modifying the stats of your current armor set.

Tulx :icontulx: a.k.a Ernin from the Free City of Lochlainn (server CROM), who has recently joined the group as an admin, started a very ambitious project.

To quote him:

"Ever since I began playing AoC I always saw people wearing some great gear sets or read about them online, but I never found a centralized place where to look up how full sets looked.
