Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (AoC) got a bad rep due to the terrible launch it had. However, over the past year, Funcom had being trying to fix the game (mostly successfully).

In it's latest effort, it has a new expansion for the game called Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer. It even has a nice trailer for the expansion; see it here.

The new expansion will be set in Khitai where Conan is a villain who brought the country into chaos due to his actions in the old Conan story "The Tower of the Elephant". I like the fact the game is willing to make Conan more than a normal hero whose actions is always for the better good; I like the fact we can get to play as a Khitan; I loved the look of Khitai in the trailer; but no level cap increase?

Funcom is not going to increase the cap of AoC which will still be at 80 for the expansion. I don't get that. Personally, I'm one of those players who have a hard time killing stuff and not get xp for it. It just seems wrong.

I like the look of the game but Funcom should really increase the cap. I mean every big expansion from every other MMORPG do, why not you?

Becuz AoC started out with a little too high lvl cap imo + its nice. cuz it will mean more players at endgame and it will be easyer to group up! :)
