Age of Conan Losing Most Servers

The upcoming server mergers for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, the much-hyped MMO, will result in a total of 18 global servers, down from 49 worldwide. This comes after the initial merger of the Bloodspire and Hyperborea servers on January 17; the developer saw no issues and has unveiled the next phase.

The mergers were announced soon after the game’s original director left due to dissatisfaction with the project. Craig Morrison, the new director, has said that the mergers would “ensure the best gameplay experience.”

Funcom notes in this forum post that it hopes to merge the European servers in one go and the US servers in another. No timeline was provided, though.
