Age of Conan - Dev Blog @ 1UP

Ole Herbjornsen, the Lead Designer for Age of Conan, has updated his blog at 1UP.

We are extremely busy here at the offices. As part of ramping up for content beta, we are doing a lot of polish work. Polish? Polish is a multi-headed beast, almost like a hydra (before you ask, no we don't have hydras in the game, they were cut in favour of the weregrouse*). When you have projects which run for several years, which is fairly standard for an MMORPG, it goes without saying that your technology base evolves and matures. It involves all parts of production and can be anything from proof-reading quest dialogue to looking at lighting in dungeons and how it impacts gameplay.
