Funcom continues to push out patches at a good pace for Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures. The well paced patching has been the subject of much discussion on the official forums in the past week and LordOrion himself has joined in and is answering questions and addressing concerns for the masses. The renewed discussion has led to countless new threads being spawned on the official forums so fast its almost impossible to keep up with them all. Let Ten Ton Hammer do it for you. Join us as we take a look at some of the top discussions and great content for the Age of Conan community this week. This week Ten Ton Hammer has continued to pour out game related goodies and guide content and you can expect that flood of information to continue. This week alone we have released over 15 articles of content. The discussion has been raging across the forums since launch as the community settles in and the battle for the Border Kingdoms begin. Ten Ton Hammer scores a post launch interview with Jason "Athelan" Stone, LordOrion chimes in to answer questions for the community, Lost in Hyboria shows why Age of Conan is rated M, all this and more in this week's Border Kingdom Cryer.
(Note: If you don't understand something I have said or abbreviated get caught up on the terminology here.)

Official AoC Forums
Information About Future Stuff [From Orion<3]
Lulizarti brings us this nice little thread that consolidates some of LordOrion's statements about coming things, and the state of a few others. The reason why there don't appear to be any sieges is explained here as well. Head over and check it out as this makes for a very good read. Kudos Lulizarti for putting this together.
This thread was offered up as part of a series of posts made by LordOrion previewing several coming aspects of the game. LordOrion's post are summarized in Lulizarti's consolidation thread above, but for all the discussion you can jump in on this thread. LordOrion is even taking questions in this thread and providing answers in some cases. To quote LordOrion...
Ok, let's try this. You can ask me -- here, in this thread -- one question. And if I can answer it, then I will. Anything. This is your golden chance. Just be nice, my mood is fickle.

Gold seller /tell spam. its getting out of hand.
It was only a matter of time before these annoying little heathens made their way into Hyboria. This thread discusses that all annoying aspect of gold spam. Feel free to add in your suggestions on dealing with it. I added a couple of my own. While there is no sure fire way to deal with them perhaps we can give Funcom some new methods to slow them down. Please be constructive. Flaming and ranting aimlessly isn't going to fix the problem.
Uilamin posted this handy little guide for all you aspiring weaponsmiths out there. While crafting is having it's own fair share of issues right now it can never hurt to get a head start. Read up and see if there might be something useful o you or add your own guide. The more information the better.
gem cutting confusion, slot sizes and stats.
This thread isn't very long but it is informative. For those of you a little confused about gem sizes and how they relate to items this will prove useful. Gannid offers a good response to the original posters question and explains the size differences and problems currently in-game.
AoC Ten Ton Hammer Threads of the Week
Do not gather more than 15 Gold or you will probably be Suspended
This thread was started by Ten Ton Hammer's AoC volunteer necro class rep Notleh. It provides some advice to the community on how to avoid being caught in an accidental ban. One thing is for sure. You can't say Funcom isn't fighting the gold sellers. Unfortunately every now and then an innocent will get caught in the crossfire. No system is perfect, but at least they are trying.
We have collected our first round of bugs and feedbacks given by you our loyal community to help Funcom make this game the greatest it can be. This thread will allow you (the players) to offer feedback and post bugs that need fixing for us to report to Funcom. Please read the threads original post before posting and be sure not to add exploits. That is also covered in the OP. Once we have collected a fair amount of information we will throw it together in our second update for Funcom and send it off.
levelling a guardian and what to expect.
Pilgrim a Ten Ton Hammer forum regular began this nice little thread discussing the guardian leveling. The subject moves to a specing discussion and has a lot of good talk for those curios on what might make for a good guardian build.

There Is No Nudity In This Comic...
Join the discussion about this week's "Lost in Hyboria" comic with the Ten Ton Hammer staff. Find out how our heroes do in battle; and what is it with Machail's sword anyway?
Friday Funny with The Tuk
(Note: Friday's Funny is an opinionated comedy piece not reflective of the view of Ten Ton Hammer. However, it is of mine. =p )
This week we go back into the old archives again and we learn that if you are drunk its best to stay off the road and out of trouble as our good friend in this video learns would have really been better than becoming the popular Youtube icon he is today.
Drunk + Breathalyzer test = Hilarious
Ten Ton Comics
Lost In Hyboria - "Ode to the ESRB"
This week our heroes show why Age of Conan is rated M. However Savanja still refuses to show all to prove our point so you'll just have to settle with Machail and Martuk going on a violent killing spree.
