The original rise of the runelords ap was for 3.5, which more or less translates to fast progression. With the anniversary edition being converted to pathfinder and containing some supplimental content, has anyone heard anything about whether it is being expanded to use medium progression like other ap's?

The Anniversary Edition will assume that it's being played on the fast XP track, since that's the closest progression to 3.5's XP progression.
While it would have been neat to add enough new material to make the AP more easily usable with the Medium track... that would essentially amount to about a 32 page module's-worth of additional content spread throughout the entire adventure path... which would have required not only a lot of extra work and design, but expansion of existing maps. All of which is well beyond the scope of this product's purpose.
There WILL be some new content in the Anniversary edition... but not THAT much.

Ruyan.
Well... there's going to be at least one section in the text that talks about this, including a relatively hard to miss quarter page discussion at the start of the first adventure about the topic. And each chapter is going to have an Advancement Track section at the start that mentions it again. I'm pretty sure that folks won't miss it.

We're playing our current Runelords campaign with the Medium Track and it's working out pretty well. They've been slightly behind in most instances, but they've done well in thinking their way through it, not to mention that I enjoy throwing in some occasional sub-plot here and there. Plus, I'm looking forward to throwing a couple modules into the works so that it will help them level.
Also, one of them took the Leadership feat to bring in a cleric for the group. Should make the going more bearable as well!

Never underestimate the power of Human Stupidity. ;D

I´m running the A.E. and
I don´t know if this is so bad because the AP is a little contraditory, in the first chapter it says that PCs should arrive at 4th level at the end of the chapter...
But on the second chapter it says they should be near 5th level in the beggining of this chapter or even getting to 5th level very early on the second chapter...
I will keep on giving the xp they are earning because, heck, they earned, and it´s not giving them even less of a challenge.
