Okay, we admit, it's difficult to pay attention to what the guy is saying when we're too busy feasting on the MMORPG's astounding visuals and impressive decapitations. Funcom was able to recreate the world of Hyboria in such breathtaking fashion, and seeing brutal combat on its lands is nothing short of sweet.
So start ditching those clothes and putting on your fur loincloths because Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is going to be heading your way pretty soon.
Additional retail figures for the standard edition of Age of Conan are also highly impressive. In total, Funcom is shipping around 700.000 copies of Age of Conan on day one. This impressive figure for a PC game is powered by equally impressive pre-order numbers. As a result of the tremendous interest and recent order increase, Funcom has not been able to fulfill all orders of Age of Conan in several markets due to current server capacity limitations.
"The initial sales and reviews are very encouraging, and it's great to see that so many are enjoying Age of Conan," said Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas. "This is just the beginning, and we already look forward to massive updates and cool new features.
Funcom can confirm that some of the female models in the game have had the size of their breasts changed. This is due to an unintended change in data that was introduced in an earlier patch, data which controls the so-called morph values associated with character models and the size of their respective body parts.
Funcom has always prided ourselves with having great customer satisfaction. The success so far for this title has left us with the need to increase the size of CS. This will go in parallel with the constant fixing of bugs and other issues that lead people to petition. Included in this is even better testing of the game by increasing the size of Quality Assurance and informing you better about changes by staffing up the Community Department.
Various bugfixes and alterations to existing feats and abilities; for example, decreasing the casting time of Detonation.
As with anything popular, Age of Conan is now a target for various scams. Read the official word on how to protect your account.
Since launch several enhancements and fixes have been implemented to Age of Conan, and Funcom has continuously staffed up the service departments to improve customer satisfaction.
