Hail All,

Age of Conan has now been our for a coupel of weeks and things are running smoothly.  We ask that everyone makes sure to do the following things to make life easier for the clan officers:

1) REGISTER and APPLY for a usergroup on the forums

2) Get in VENTRILO

3) Donate money (silver) so more buildings, walls and upgrades can happen to Corriban City.

4) Do not FLAME or get into a FLAME / EXPLOIT debat on the AoC official forums.

5) Pick a profession and LIST IT in the FORUMS so we do not end up with 100 Gencrafters (as an example)

Thanks to all that have contributed so much and have gotten DC stated off in the right direction.   /salute

Hail DC,

With the launch of AoC now and DC officially in the game playing by official and finialized rules, we need to now come together and decide on a more accurate system that will fit the game itself.

1) The Guild UI is horrible and there is ZERO customization at all in it.  We will be sticking with the ranks I have already provided on the website, and "pooling" them under the official (5) ranks provided in the game.  EXAMPLE: The second rank from the top (DeathBringer) will encompass ALL Dark Council members ranks.....etc

2) As we play, we will find ideas and things that happen and peopel do that need to be rewarded.  I have a basic honor system in place, but with the game released, we can FINE TUNE that system and honor descriptions in order to make them fit more into the game.  I will have the rest of the honors done soon and have them all up.

These are just a few things to have in the back of your head as we press on and do the ultimate grind to level 80 and then start forming the end game runs for PvE and PvP.  ANY IDEAS or SUGGESTIONS, please feel free to post them on the forums, PM me or e-mail them to me.  If they suck or don't work, just send in more!

Hail DC,

It is with great pleasure and pride that I announce The Durmanhoth Clan is officially founded in the MMORPG Age of Conan.  After a coupel of years of waiting and planning and beta testing, DC has made a new home.  Within the first 24hours of the game launching, DC made the clan official and also has picked out a city plot in the Purple Lotus Swamp.

Awesome job to everyone that helped from the first few mins to now.  DC would be no where if not for the strong membership it always has.          /salute

The highly anticipated MMO gets eight more weeks of polish


Durham, USA – January 21, 2008 – Funcom announces a new release date for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. The highly anticipated MMO receives 8 more weeks of development, allowing Funcom to deliver a more polished MMO experience when the game launches on the 20th of May 2008. Despite great feedback on vital aspects like immersion, fun factor and the exciting combat system, the management of Funcom has decided to polish the game even more. Eight weeks of development work is therefore added to stress game systems and polish the game further leading up to launch.

Funcom is fully committed to its communities and the quality-level they demand and deserve, and has previously postponed the Age of Conan launch. The changes implemented as the game was moved to a 2008 release have proven to greatly improve the experience for newcomers, while introducing a more involving and accessible character progression throughout the game. Press and beta feedback in the aftermath of these changes has been very positive. As a result, the ongoing presentations of the game have continued to increase the anticipation for Age of Conan. To date, Age of Conan has received more than 20 magazine covers and 15 industry awards, and is widely considered to be one of the most anticipated MMOs in development.

Funcom has great faith in the Age of Conan game, and feels certain that further polish is in the best interest of the hundreds of thousands of gamers who follow the game. “The companies standing apart in the gaming market today are those with a relentless drive to achieve quality. Even though we regret delaying the launch, I am certain we made the right choice. I hope that our followers and fans will support our decision, and respect our commitment to quality,” said Gaute Godager, Producer and Game Director of Age of Conan.

Funcom will also continue the beta efforts for the title with continued testing on its large server parks in North America and Europe. Players can already sign up at pre-order programs in several countries and enjoy the recently released website at www.ageofconan.com, displaying part of the wealth of marketing and game material already prepared for the game. A special Collectors Edition of the retail box is available for pre-order at select retailers. Thousands of players have been invited to the beta of the game, and the number will continue to go up as Age of Conan moves towards launch. If you too want to join the Beta of Age of Conan you may sign up for the Beta on www.ageofconan.com

Hail DC!

A few things to note as we draw closer to the release date of AoC in March. 

1) We have a NEW application process.  The link provided here:  http://www.durmanhoth-clan.com/DC/modules.php?name=PNForms is the new forum that will allow anyone in any game to apply here.  Each forum then goes into a recruitment thread on the forums and the officers and recruiters can discuss the people and accept or deny them. 

2) The clan intro is being worked on as we speak.  We will have a NEXUS intro for the over all look of the clan as well as a intro for each seperate game. 

3) The DC splash page that was in development a while back is back underway and should be online very soon. 

4) I slacked on the DC Black Market (Mall) because of a lot going on in RL, however in the next week or so you should start to see the clothing promised as well as the little trinkets and stuff you will be able to order.

5) The new clan roster is uploaded on the nexus site and the ranks and badges are being added as we speak again.  Just waiting on Dirtysob to send the rest of the badges and I will post them all.

These are just a FEW of the changes I am getting done for the clan now as we press on to our future.  I appreciate those in beta learning the game and getting ready to give us the good start we need and I REALLY appreciate those that have helped me out with the graphics and changes with the site.  /salute to the best brotherhood around.
