It's not all blood 'n guts...

Cody "Micajah" Bye steps back from the glittery gore surrounding recent previews of Age of Conan: Hyborean Adventures, and instead offers traditional MMORPG gamers a few new reasons to like Funcom's upcoming MMORPG based on the popular fiction of Robert E. Howard.

"Since the mature rating – or the mention of mature gameplay – was hit upon so early and often in the initial development of the game, it seems like many individuals have gotten caught up in the fact that the game is going to be rated "M". Instead of looking at Age of Conan as a game with a refreshingly new combat system, the potential for tremendous PvP, or a title with a tremendous license backing it, all gamers talk about is how much violence will be in the game. Everyone seems to be caught up in this "whirlwind of blood", as if that feature along will make or break the game."
