Age of Conan's Monthly Development Update: Jan '12

Confirms that things will be updated in 2012.

Kind of ridiculous to realize that it's been a full month since New Years, but if Age of Conan is already posting their Monthly Development Update for January 2012, well, that's about the best indication you'll get that we're nearing the end of the month.

In this month's development update, Funcom's Craig Morrison noted that the team was really happy with their big content pushes in 2011 (naturally), but that they really want to focus on systems for the first half of the year. What this means, for the most part, is that they really want to revamp the trade-skill system of Age of Conan, with the next big update hoping to offer "true depth, with an engaging and interesting system." Morrison notes that the team really wants to look "further back" for inspirations, meaning they want to recreate those old-school MMO crafting ecosystems as opposed to our modern day "point and click" crafting options. It all sounds very wonderful and ambitious, so let's hope the team can hit their stride going into 2012!
