Funcom implements PvP XP rollback in Age of Conan
Filed under: Fantasy, Age of Conan, Events, in-game, Exploits, Forums, Game mechanics, PvP
Funcom has sent a clear message to the number of Age of Conan players who’ve been exploiting a flaw in the PvP XP system: START OVER. Oliver ‘Tarib’ Kunz, Senior Community Manager for Age of Conan, addressed Funcom’s recent decision to roll back the experience gained by some players who unfairly saw a meteoric rise in gains, as confirmed in a player-by-player investigation.
Kunz stated, “We have then taken what we consider to be appropriate action against those players by reducing their PvP Levels to what they were before it was possible to take advantage of this flaw and removing all PvP Gear.” Of course, Kunz says, Funcom is open to discussing the removal of experience and gear from those who believe they were unfairly targeted, and have stated that if they’ve misidentified an exploiter, the character(s) in question will be restored to their former status.

PvP Rollback Action Taken Over Exploit - Ten Ton Hammer
Funcom recently took action in Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures against players who engaged in using an exploit to gain PvP experience quickly. There are many players who may have questions as to how this was handled or why they might have been targeted and many more upset over the recent rollback. To answer some of these questions Funcom’s Senior Community Manager Oliver ‘Tarib’ Kunz
posted about this topic on the official AoC forums.
As you should all be aware we recently took action against those players that took advantage of a flaw in the PvP XP System.
We understand that many of you have questions about how this was done, and of course some of those affected have questions about why they were targeted.
Although we are unable to go into specific detail about the process, what we can say is that we used information gathered from our Database to identify those players that gained what was considered a “substantial” amount of PvP XP during the time frame where such a thing was possible. These cases we then investigated further. We have then taken what we consider to be appropriate action against those players by reducing their PvP Levels to what they were before it was possible to take advantage of this flaw and removing all PvP Gear.
Some of you might feel that you were unfairly targeted; if you are one of them then we simply ask that you write a mail to support@ageofconan.com with the name of the character that was affected and the server name on which it plays so that our Customer Support staff can begin our investigation into the matter. As always, you should receive your response within 24 hours. Should our staff find a flaw in the system we will take appropriate measures to ensure that your character will be restored to the former status.
