Lots of really good stuff in here. A whole bunch of fixes in general. I won't post the entire list (http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=135852), but some of note are:

* We have added more travel NPCs to the capital cities that allow travel to more locations in the game world.

* The price of the basic mounts has been reduced from 2 gold to 75 silver.

* The Friends/Guild Members window has been changed. It now works with tabs that sort friends by type: Guild Members, Friends, Offline members, and Ignored characters.

* Ranged combos will now appear red on your shortcut bar when your target is out of range, similar to spells

Training Basic riding (which the game erroneously refers to as a feat) still costs 1 gold, so the reduction in cost for basic mounts is pretty much useless.

It's only useless if you'd rather pay the extra 1g 25s.

Okay, "mostly useless". If the intent was to make basic mounts more affordable for characters that otherwise qualify for them (40+), I think it falls short because even at 45 I am still well off the total money needed. But maybe there's a thriving economy I'm unaware of (which is entirely possible) and I should have the money.

You're right. What a shitty game.

No, it's not a shitty game. I'm only complaining about one specific thing. I'm not demanding a refund or for the dev team to be fired or burned in oil. Oil with snakes in it.

I just wanted my pony. :(

(actually, I got it, I just can't take it out of my bag until I get another 86 silver. Hopefully he won't suffocate.)

So, I take it 2-3 gold is hard to come by by level 40?

Yes.

My herald at level 45 had 89 silver. This is without playing the market, though. I'm not sure how much more I would have had if I had done that. No doubt it's been factored into the cost of things like mounts.

I'm just not fond of having multiple restrictions on mounts, whether it's WoW, Conan or some other game.

I can use my war rhino and it is slightly faster than normal player speed but the thing is huge and steers like a boat.
