Most paid expansions run with either a new class or a raised level cap. How do you justify charging players for this one?
"I don't think you need a new class and a rasied level cap in order to call it an expansion," he began. "We are adding an alternative advancement system that I think is going to be quite similar to actually getting higher levels. You will actually be expanding a character that you already have and for us that just felt more natural with the current condition of Conan. We wanted to add more diverse high level content to the game."
"We're adding a huge amount of content," he continued. "So it's not just something that we can just put in a patch. We are adding new features including the factions system, which is quite an elaborate feature. Players will also be able to expand their characters way beyond what's possible now. We're putting more effort into alternate advancement than adding more classes and levels... We feel that there is such a great collection of characters in Conan, there are a lot of classes in there. We basically want those classes to work even better, to have even more content available to them, to have more than just adding another class and opening all the cool new stuff only for that class."
