Funcom will be taking down the Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures servers today at 8:00am EST and this will be the last chance to save those level 1-20 newbie characters if you've been inactive for the last seven months or more. During the downtime, characters that have been inactive for at least seven months and are between the levels of 1-20 will be deleted. Active accounts or accounts that have been active within the last seven months are safe, so if you have a few newbies you're worried about losing today is your last chance to save them. The downtime is scheduled to last about 12 hours, so don't plan on getting a lot of play time today.
The US servers will come down for maintenance on Thursday, 21st January at 13:00 GMT / 8am EST. The downtime is scheduled to last around 12 hours.
During this maintenance, we will delete the characters (levels 1 to 20) on accounts which subscriptions ran out 7 or more months ago. For more details also see this thread.
