KHAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!!
When you're working with products designed for the consumer marketplace, delays inevitably happen especially in the MMOG industry. No one wants to release a raw, ugly version of their product to a population that is used to higher standards. Polish and refinement are always for the best, but I was hoping that I wouldn't have to wait any longer for this particular game. In an official press release, Funcom announced that Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures would be delayed until March 2008.
We naturally regret that we have to push back Age of Conan. However, after careful consideration, and analysis of recent Beta feedback, we believe that the new release date is in the best interest of the gamers, our company and our owners, said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom. We are fully committed to delivering games with absolute qualities, and in the current MMO marketplace we know that only the best is good enough to truly succeed. With the new release date we have therefore given ourselves more time to meet and deliver on the massive expectations for the game. We are certain that our choice will ultimately pay off, and that all Age of Conan players will get a special online experience."
Check out the whole release, which we have posted here.
