Massively is reporting that the reason for the Age of Conan server downtime this morning was because Funcom's MMO was being patched.

From the piece:

In today's patch, among a host of class changes and other crunchy bits, there are a lot of fixes and alterations to massive PvP, which should make a big difference for the players who have reached level 80 and were looking forward to this feature working properly.

Full patch notes through the link.
