After two years of tweaking the main game, Funcom has nailed down a May 11 release date for Rise of the Godslayer, the first full expansion pack for massively-multiplayer online role playing game Age of Conan.

Age of Conan's early start went live on May 17, 2008, and it's come quite a long way in the past two years. Launching without much of the promised content in place, the game seemed destined for failure. A change of game directors brought new life and new direction to the game, however, and it's managed to maintain a healthy, loyal following.

Players who've stuck with the MMO are now rewarded with the game's first full expansion, Rise of the Godslayer, dropping on May 11, just a few day's short of the game's second anniversary. Set in the mythical land of Khitai, the expansion adds new lands, new quests, and a new playable race. On top of those expected changes, the expansion also does things that MMOs have never done before, including using emotes to solve puzzles.

The expansion will be available as a retail release and a digital download. Fans who preorder will be the first to try out another new addition, the fighting in-game pet, taking the cosmetic pets of games like World of Warcraft to the next level.

There was a point I was sure Age of Conan wouldn't make it one year, let alone two. It's nice to be wrong.

It also has ronable.

Greetings,

Unfortunately the Live Chat GM was correct in the information that she
gave you. Since you no longer have the current payment information for
this account you are no longer considered the "owner" of this account.

Sadly over the years to many people give their accounts to friends or
sell their accounts only to want to "reclaim" them at a later date for
us to consider anyone but the current paying party the owner.


If you had contacted us back in July 09 then we may have been more able
to assist you but not now after this much time has passed.

In the future it is our suggestion that you keep your username and
passwords secret to prevent any unauthorized parties from gaining access
to your account.

Thank you for your understanding.


If you have any questions please let me know.

The last email I received from Funcom regarding the account was on July 30 09 stating that the account had been frozen per my request. I had no idea the account had been compromised. Since I was unaware that the account info had been changed, how would I have been able to put in any sort of petition earlier?

This level of "customer service" is unacceptable. The account was stolen and the information was apparently changed without my knowledge. It was never "sold" or "given away". To expect me to know the current info on the account after it has been changed by a 3rd party is blasphemous, there is no possible scenario where I would know the name, address and credit card information of the person that stole the account.

On top of all this, you're letting the person that stole the account continue playing even though its clearly stated in your EULA that account ownership is not allowed to change hands. Pretty shady if you ask me.

All I want is my account back in my hands, hopefully still somewhat intact the way I left it in July 09, I have a couple friends planning to resub to check out the expansion and would like to run around with them and check things out.
