Age of Conan Expansion Briefly Open to All Players Past and Present

Age of Conan developer Funcom has opened up the PC fantasy MMORPG's oriental expansion pack Rise of the Godslayer to all players past and present until July 15.

Current players can hop straight on over to the land of Khitai while those with inactive accounts will receive ten days of free play in both the expansion and original content.

"After a full-scale release in retail and online the expansion has performed well in terms of both sales and traffic, and the activity on our servers has increased significantly in the last month," said sales and marketing VP Morten Larssen in the announcement.

Rise of the Godslayer was released on May 11, around two years after the base game.

What killed this game for me, more then anything else, was the fact that EVERYTHING was instanced. IMO It's not a true MMO if all the players are divided up in different instanced versions of the world.

I had bought and played this game right after release. Unless they made some huge overall in design and gameplay, I'm not willing to go back. It wasn't that bad, but there really was nothing compelling enough to justify the monthly charge.

Big reason why I wont go back to Funcom games. I tried contacting their customer support in regarding to a free server transfer they advertised via email, for whatever reason my browser messed up and I could not complete the server transfer. I got stuck on a server that was more or less dying or had very little player base. My email straight from Funcom that said free server transfer and was current in date. The customer support guy i was emailing to and back from said that this promotion didnt exist and ended a few months ago and basically refused to help me and would not let me speak to his supervisor and nobody would ever get back to me. FUCK YOU FUNCOM, never again. That Folks is some pretty lousy support.

WAR will also be free for past and present EU players starting tomorrow, I think for two weeks.
Note that you need to log on at the american EAmythic account management now, with _EUR added to your account name, as they transferred the user db from GOA.

The game is great. All the gaps in content were addressed in free patches. It runs well, graphics are great and the world is immersive. I enjoy the story. I like the voice overs and wish there was more of them.

Are people still playing this? I heard nothing but bad things after release, at one point it even seemed completely dead with servers closing. How is the situation now? Anyone playing, and can shed some light on it?
