This morning, the Age of Conan servers received a small patch, tagged as patch 1.5. There's not much in it: a fix to the charging issues (that's charging into battle, not charging a credit card), a change to the price of basic riding skills (to 25 silver) and a few other bits and bobs.

American readers: are you going to Dragon*Con this Labor Day weekend? Funcom (developer of Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, and The Secret World) is! Its specific plans have been laid out at the Age of Conan website. Here is also a very interesting mmorpg game called age of conan.

Word is that there will be a new Conan movie next year, and that Age of Conan will tie in with it. Of course, the movie isn't based on Age of Conan; both are independently based on Robert E. Howard's pulp fiction stories.

In another video from onlinewelten.com, again recorded over at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Erling Ellingson addresses the Age of Conan community directly. As we'd noted, there was debate as to whether the figure of 415,000 subscribers mentioned in the Funcom quarterly report presentation referred to August 14th or June 30th, but in this interview Ellingson has now confirmed AoC's active subscriber numbers as over 400,000. Working from the figure of 800,000 boxes sold, that gives a clear retention figure of around 50% right now.

Courtesy of German gaming site onlinewelten.com, we're able to bring you a presentation of upcoming Age of Conan content by Erling Ellingson, straight from the Games Convention in Leipzig. The presentation takes us on a tour of the Tarantia Commons, a slum area in which your character takes a side in a war between street gangs, and stops to take in some of the new exotic armor sets that have been included in response to player demand.

Funcom's product manager for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, Erling Ellingsen, was interviewed at the San Diego Comic-Con 2008 where he gave out a number of details on what they've been working on for PVP and PvE players as well as a number of exciting new features for guilds.

We recently ran an article regarding the rumored launch date of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. GOA, the European publishers of the game, gave out word that they will be announcing a release date very soon.

Ever since the Guild Beta for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning started, we've been getting more and more updates regarding how this feature of the game will run. Here is also a very interesting mmorpg game called world of warcraft.

We see thousands of people playing online games such as tetris, ping pong, mario bros, super mario etc for free but despite its history dating back to 1970s, for most people online gaming began with the explosion of Internet in 1993 and with the advent of Doom and Warcraft sometime in 1994 or 1995.

With the evolution of technology, people are continually presented with all sorts of new opportunities for entertainment. The best source for most enjoyable ways of entertainment at home is the Internet.
