It looks like going free-to-play was the right move for Age of Conan. According to Funcom's latest announcement, more than 300,000 new players have joined the game since the Unchained update launched a little more than a month ago.

With the influx of new players, Funcom said today that server activity has quadrupled and game revenues more than doubled during the launch month. "This definitely gives us great hope for the game’s future," said Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas.

Next up for Age of Conan: Unchained is an Adventure Pack titled "Savage Coast of Turan" that will act as a tie-in to the Conan the Barbarian movie that hits theaters on August 18. The content update is set 20 years after the movie's storyline and will add all new encounters, the massive new area of Ardashir, new dungeons and raids as well as new armor sets and monsters.
