 According to a post by director Craig Morrison (via Evil Avatar), Age of Conan is finally just about ready for the DirectX 10 treatment. The fantasy MMO was one of the earliest public supporters of DirectX 10, until the feature was suddenly delayed at the last minute this May.
Morrison had the following to say about the upcoming addition of DirectX 10 support:
"We are now preparing to take the DirectX 10 version of the game from our internal testing servers out to the public test servers, so you can see it for yourselves. The next major game update will include this version of the game and make it available for everyone with the appropriate hardware to enjoy. Since the outset we have been determined that the new DirectX 10 functionality would not just be a 'gimmick' addition to the game and would add visual quality to the game, we feel that the version we are preparing now for testing does achieve this and in a way that will find the right balance between visuals and performance. We have also gone to great lengths to try and make virtually all the DirectX 10 features customizable so that you can find the right balance between features for the performance level of your hardware. What we did not want to do was push this version out too early and not see the real added benefits this technology can bring. I am really looking forward to players getting to experience some of the new visual improvements that this new technology allows. It really brings an even further splendor to the game world."
If Age of Conan's visuals weren't quite jaw-dropping enough to keep you from going back to World of Warcraft, then this DirectX 10 update might be worth keeping on your radar. It'll be especially interesting to see if this graphical overhaul is merely an isolated incident, or if any of the other games vying for your monthly subscription fee elect to update their graphics engines in order to remain visually competitive.

 Here in Leipzig, MMORPG.com has captured some great video interviews and presentations that will be hitting the site over the next week. That's not going to stop us, however, from bringing you the important information right up front, at least until you can hear it from the horse's mouth.
Today, MMORPG.com attended a presentation by the team from Funcom's Age of Conan. A number of interesting points were made that are worth sharing with everyone as soon as we could:

 IGN has posted a great guide for those AoC newcomers or those that want to get the most out of their Hyborian adventures.
Assuming you have already installed Age of Conan on your hard drive, your first step is to load the game via your desktop icon. You will be prompted to create an account and login. Once you login the game will begin to download and install any patches which have been released by Funcom since the release of Age of Conan. The patching process may take some time, as the developers are continually improving upon the game, adding new features and content, and fixing any bugs that crop up. Once you are all patched up the journey begins!
Depending on your geographical location will depend on how many Age of Conan game servers are available to you. If you own the North American version of the game, you will only be given U.S. servers to choose from. If you own the European version of the game, you will only be given European servers to choose from. This is in order to ensure the best playing experience for all, but at the same time means that you cannot play with your friends across the pond unless you own the same version of the game as them.
