On the heels of a formal announcement of solid growth in Age of Conan, Funcom would also like all of you to know that a pyrotechnic one-year anniversary contest is happening in Hyboria right now.
During this week, the skies will be blotted with fireworks in eight-hour intervals. And you’re invited to take screenshots of them for an opportunity to win several real life “exciting prizes” from GameRigs and Funcom. In game, you can type “/claim” to rock something special as well.
But that’s not exactly all. As part of the anniversary, players with six months or more subscription time will receive a free character slot. (Others will be able to purchase these “soon.”)
Free character slots and fire(works)? Count us in. Still, though, the bear thing needs to happen.

I'm looking forward to Mortal Online either way.
But I'm glad they've got their act together, and are getting a steady income to fund their next project - 'The Secret World' (wich is looking quite interesting, I must say), and possibly another 'Longest Journey' game?
No, it's actually awesome. It's a shame this game failed due to bad updates/lack of care from the developers.
The real combat was really, really fun, and PVP could have been that much better than any MMO out there, because it took some skill.
