Game Director Craig "Silirrion" Morrison announced today that a couple "old school" PvP servers will soon be coming to Age of Conan. As he puts it, the special ruleset for these servers "will not be for the faint of heart." Here are the tentative rules:

• This will be a fresh start server, no transfers.
• You will only be allowed one character on this server. Your reputation will mean something on this server!
• There will be no guards on this server. Your only protection from other players will be your allies, and your own wits and skills.
• PVP will be re-enabled in the early optional Tortage areas.
• There will be a player looting system from PVP. We haven't decided on the details here, and it probably won’t be looting from a players equipped inventory, but may include some combination of items from their regular inventory and ‘generated’ loot.
• We may amend other PVP related systems as we see fit, pending testing.

Players will get the chance to submit name ideas for these "Blood and Glory" PvP servers. Funcom plans to deploy one of these server types to each of the EU and US territories, most likely in early May.
