This month's Age of Conan Development Update letter has been posted, and it focuses on what's in store for the rest of the year and beyond. The team starts off by talking briefly about the Savage Coast of Turan adventure pack that launches with early access today, and then dives right into what they're planning for the remainder of 2011:

"You will have the new PVP world bosses that we spoke about at length in last month's letter. Then you will also have the massive House of Crom dungeon, and the final encounters of the Tier four raid cycle. There is no set order for these yet as we work through the version internally, but the current plan is for all of them to come before the end of the year! That means the schedule will be fairly busy all the way through to the end of the year."

As for 2012, expect to see a new adventure pack in the first half of the year. Funcom's new single server technology should also launch in early 2012, which will allow more players to play together. Basically, each rule-set in each region will ultimately get its own server. They're also working on a revamp of the tradeskill system.

Lastly, Funcom has released an Age of Conan community survey to get feedback from players. Five lucky people who respond before September 9 will win 3,000 Funcom Points each, so you might want to take the time to fill it out.
