New update schedule: once a week

This would explain why there was no patch monday. Give it another month and the updates will be monthly! Wink

Now that the first month after launch is behind us, we have decided to change from two game updates a week to one (Wednesdays, 4am GMT).

There is a number of reasons for this, but these are the most important
ones:

* We want to reduce the downtime.
* We want each new update to be on our test server a few days longer to ensure that everything works as intended before releasing it.

The number of updates and bug fixes we do to the game will not decrease because of this change. We will work at the same pace, and if anything we will be more efficient since there has been a fair amount of overhead involved in releasing two updates each week. Urgent issues will still be addressed as they arise, but we no longer need scheduled downtime twice a week to do that.

We hope you will appreciate this change, and with the new update cycle also experience how dedicated we are to make Age of Conan an even better game.
