The Aftermath of Turan

So the Savage Coast of Turan has been out for a good month now, and overall I think it's been a positive addition to the already vast game that is AoC. I've always said Khitai was just what the Age of Conan needed, and seeing yet another flavor added to it is always nice.

That said, my review was a all-around positive one, and I did not mention that they did indeed make it unavailable even for Premium Subscribers till they bought it. That caused a fair share of controversy! I at first thought it was a big no-no to the Premium Subscribers, because the game did change their subscription philosophy to "1-80 is free, everything else must be bought, but become a premium subscriber and you'll get access to everything for 12 bucks a month" kind of deal.

Still, it's normal to pay for expansion packs even as a premium subscriber, and the Savage Coast of Turan was just that - but simply labeled "Adventure Pack" as it was a smaller expansion, and consequently CHEAPER. It costs 10 bucks to buy the necessary Funcom Points for the Adventure Pack, way cheaper than your normal expansion pack. So looking at it from that standpoint, I'm really not that bothered about it.

Still, I recommend getting a second view on it, one that comes from another blogger. head over here, and read Slith's honest opinion about it - That guy's been doing a lot of reviews and walkthroughs lately, and I can tell he's an honest chap. 

Enough Turan Talk for now, my future posts will probably be about the normal Cray C stuff. Currently fleshing out my casters' RP stories. Why? I'll elaborate on that in my next report.
