Age of Conan - Patch 1.07 Now Live
The PvP update is now on live servers.
Written by Chris Joyce, 31 March 2010
The latest update to Funcom's Age of Conan is now available on live servers, bringing the game version to 1.07.
Aside from the customary class and game tweaks, 1.07 is very much a PvP focused patch.
New PvP content has been added with the addition of The Shrines of Bori:
"With Shrines of Bori players will experience challenging guild-based ongoing outdoor PvP conflicts with capturable objectives, which take place in the Border Kingdoms: Cimmerian End.
The gameplay includes capturing shrines and defending them against other players. There are also new rare PvP resources involved that players have to harvest and bring back safely to the captured shrines in order to make an offer to the war god Bori and receive his favours."
This latest update also opens up PvP levels 6 to 10 and introduces the new second tier of PvP gear, purchasable with PvP tokens.
In preparation for the launch of the upcoming Rise of the Godslayer expansion pack for Age of Conan, Funcom have also included an expansion teaser event in this latest update titled 'The Silver Atrium.
"Experience "The Silver Atrium" - a new in-game event that challenges you with new quests found in Stygia and Aquilonia. Meet and battle mysterious spies, assassins and other shady characters from the far east to get great new rewards.

You access the Silver Atrium by first claiming the consumable item "Embroidered Invitation" (by using the command "/claim"). Afterwards use the item to get the quest added to your quest log. Your first travels will take you to the city of Khemi.
The Silver Atrium offers two brand new solo quests and a new group quests based around the appearance of mysterious harbingers from eastern lands.
Includes great new Khitan themed rewards."
One thing to note is that this event will only be available up to the launch of the expansion, so if you want to take part, make sure you do it soon or you will miss out on the fun.
A new fast travel system has also been added to the game, allowing players easy and fast travel to notable locations in their current zone.
This should reduce the amount of running/riding around for players, and allow them to access content much easier - Of course, this kind of privilege comes at a price, which is payable to the new Wagoner NPCs who run the transport service.
One promised feature sadly missing from the update is the new offline progression system.
Funcom didn't quite feel this was ready, but didn't want to delay this patch, so expect to see that feature added in a future update.
