Funcom has released the latest update notes for its highly anticipated MMORPG: Age of Conan: Hyborean Adventures.

Massive PvP

1. Player city keeps now contain a vendor that sells siege weapons.
2. Players will now get teleported out of the zone before the battle starts.
3. Traders that would not spawn at the Battlekeep Tradeposts will now spawn. Traders will now be available at Battlekeeps.
4. Ballista NPCs will no longer spawn at an unbuilt tower.
5. The Boarder Kingdoms has had its environments adjusted. This should reduce draw-distance in those playfields and contribute to a performance-increase.
