Age of Conan game director, Craig Morrison, has penned this month's letter outlining what's to come in the near future. Read a snippet and grab the link to the rest below:

While thinking about the subject of feedback and how much the team pay attention to what players think, and how they play the game, I was struck by a very valuable form of feedback for us that has crept up almost without many noticing, and that is player's videos. Whether it is players or guilds uploading their latest conquest to YouTube or watching someone stream their game-play live via X-Fire (the latter being something I actually got quite addicted to lately, it's one of the best, most tangible source of feedback you can get! To actually watch how players approach the game as they play it!) we, as developers, get to see whole encounters play out. We get to see the tactics players adopt, keep an eye out for issues we might like to deal with, or see things that just worked out differently then we had thought they would. All of that comes from you! It's very important for us to always be aware of how you actually play the game, and the ability for players to share videos online and even stream them now with modern internet technology does provide us with a lot of valuable feedback.

On another note, how cool is it that developers watch player videos? Like the game or not, that's just awesome.
