We had the chance to talk at great length with Funcom's Craig Morrison and Einer Forselv about Age of Conan's massive crafting overhaul, due out in the next couple of months. We also got a look at the game's upcoming open-world area of Dragonspine. Watch, learn, and be happy!

Im glad to see an mmo finally adding depth back into their crafting unlike most mmo's these days trying to clone WoW's idiot-proof crafting system. (Lotro, Swtor, Tera, Rift)
And if one seriously thinks it's only about dropping stuff into boxes...try actually listening and watching the whole video.
Just ensure that not a single person can freeload from single to max level.

Thats exactly what you do do, free players are content, allow them to play the game for nothing and buy CS items with ingame money and you'll have a populated world. all Asian F2P games understand this, Turbine does but Funcom, SOE & EA miss this point entirely. A dead world is the first thing that turns a potential customer off and a free palyer can always become a paying customer at some point. But don't make playing for free easy just make it possible.

Well said. Funcom simply doesn't understand the mentality of a returning player.The player left with a bad taste in their mouth.Last thing you want to do when you want to ease them into playing regularly is poke the returning player in the eye with obstacles that open old wounds.
