Other changes in Update 1.04.5 include the following:

Massive PvP
All battlekeeps should be able to get hit by two siege camps. Note: Not all of these are located in the inner courtyard.
Defenders will no longer lose their resurrection point when their battlekeep drops below 75% health. They will only lose it when they actually lose the keep. It is a biggest advancement for defenders. For a part, that means defenders could save them Age of Conan gold.
The damage radius from siege weapon has been reduced a little to compensate for a previous change.
All battle keeps now have 8 siege camps.
