I was reading newsletter #24 which is mostly about the release of update 5.6, Nights of Lost Souls, and the new subscriber reward system. With this patch they are introducing the Veteran Points system which gives you points for subscribing to the game. Like other MMOs you spend these points on in game items. What caught my attention, simply because its the first time I’ve seen it advertised within a game, and well I am a male, is this statement,
Ever fancied a pet hyena? Well, now you can get one. In this update we are introducing Veteran Points. You will earn these points by staying subscribed to the game, and you can use them to purchase a wide variety of special items – from breast enlargements to pet hyenas!
In addition to larger breasts, the update also introduces two new seasonal solo quests and a group quest. The Iron Tower is a new high-level dungeon waiting for you and your big breasts to enter. And if you recruit six friends to play the game you can win this gold ring to take the attention away from your bigger assets.

On Friday the AOCVault interviewed Per Storlokken, Associate Producer for the content team. Highlights of the discussion include the introduction of the Iron Tower prior to game update 6 as well as these nuggets:
- Guild Renown – provides a ranking system that is planned to cycle each week
- Balancing raid encounters
- Tower PvP – small scale sieges that don’t require a huge commitment in resources and time and can be started with a small group
Check out the full interview on the IGN Age of Conan Vault.
The game director for Age of Conan posted an article today about the new “Veterans System” coming soon to a server near you. When I read the post my first thought was, hey, this is like the reward program from American Express and other credit cards.
