No. All the live server settings are simply too easy. The Purge can be negated way too easily by players and players don't play Conan as a survival game but a weak PVP game. Server sizes are too small so once you take over a server their is no reason to play it any further. Plus it really isn't made well for PVP.
Conan is a really good PVE survival game. It is really only set up to support a few players and probably only shines as a solo game. We are trying to make it as much of a challenge as we can and we aren't sure we did enough of that.
I have no interest in getting an actual server with our own settings.
1. No one but us would play on it because we would make it too difficult
2. Since 1 is true we might as well stick to our own private server and not pay $10 a month
In general games like LIF, Atlas and Conan all share is once you built X what is the point after that????
People want to play the game and experience all the cool thralls and own the biggest castle. That is not what makes it fun to play. It is not a Wow where you want to experience all the content. The only way a building pvp game can keep players playing is to destroy everything constantly.
OR
Make it a real survival game where you never quite reach the point where your castles and NPC's can over power the game. PVP does nothing to change that.
Day Z is the only game that got close to what it needs to be and you didn't build shit in Day Z.
The only way Conan can be fun is if you are on the verge of death constantly and you are losing your shit. Otherwise it is just Minecraft with MMO combat. PVP is totally unreliable to contribute to the difficulty.
What we are experimenting with on Conan is to see if we can create an environment that can be played multiple player without people getting bored. We still haven't achieved a hard game as of yet beyond the solo game.
