Famine, Someone, What happened with Class Leads?

This thread discusses an old idea about having volunteer class leads from an older thread to aid the developers in gathering feedback for each class. Unfortunately the plan hasn't moved forward yet, but Funcom's US Community Manager Glen "Famine" Swan dropped in to reassure the community that the idea has not been forgotten.

Yes, I agree and you can bet Silirrion agrees too. So no need to worry about us shoving that idea off. Right now though we are reading and Yakomo (more than me in this instance) is gathering a lot of info just off test live and the class forums on concerns. When everything kicks in with the advocates *coughcough* things will start flowing a lot smoother at least on player feedback. - Famine

So what happens to our names when server merge?

This is a good question. What will happen to our names when the servers merge? This can bring about a myriad of problems when you cross up the possibility of several players with the same name and perhaps even guilds with the same name. The new Game Director Craig 'Silirrion' Morrison dropped in to join this discussion and add his thoughts.

Those kinds of details are still being worked on internally and nothing has been decided on finally yet. As soon as we know the optimal (and practical) answer we will let you all know. - Silirrion

Game Director Craig 'Silirrion' Morrison was Interviewed by Ten Ton Hammer this week.

Sheldor The Conqueror! (Video Clip Inside!)

If you missed this week's episode of the hit TV show "Big Bang Theory" you missed a comical gem. Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures was featured in this past week's episode as part of the main storyline. Sheldon friend Penny takes notice of him playing AoC and muttering things like AFK. She then ends up becoming obsessed with the game and bugs Sheldon to no end in an effort to help level up her character. If you missed the episode you can check out some clips on the official CBS site here. In the meantime, feel free to add your thoughts to this discussion.

Is it true that Funcom will be merging servers?

This thread is all about server merger discussion. We do know from both the Letter from the Game Director and Ten Ton Hammer's Interview with Game Director Craig 'Silirrion' Morrison that server mergers are being looked at. When and if we will see them is still unknown, but it is most certainly a possibility for the near future.

 

 

AoC Ten Ton Hammer Threads of the Week

 

Interview with Game Director Craig 'Silirrion' Morrison

This week Ten Ton Hammer scored an Interview with Game Director Craig 'Silirrion' Morrison in his first Interview since taking up the position for Funcom. This thread is all about that interview.

Attack Of The Cows

What happens when a GM decides to have some fun with the players? Cow Mounts! This little thread discusses a comical little video that shows how some GMs have a good sense of humor. Check the video out here and tell us what you think.

 

Weekly Funny with the Tuk

(The Weekly Funny is not reflective of the views of Ten Ton Hammer. That said, they are of mine.)

Its always amusing to watch a wannabe bad guy pimp try to be the man. Such was the case of this weeks playa. After the pimp was called down for roughing up one of his girls by a guy nearby, he decides to attack the guy. Unfortunately for the pimp, the man he attacks is an award winning (black belt) Karate expert. The ensuing moments from the lunge to the moment of PWNED are comical and quick. In that, I aptly call this one...

Pimp Slapped...
