Funcom postponed the initial release date by eight weeks in order to get the game up to scratch and work on a more involving and accessible character progression. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is now due for release on May 20, 2008.
Besides bringing what has been described as 'the most brutal experience ever seen in a MMO', Conan also promises to deliver what all fans of MMOs love and enjoy. Vast character customisation opportunities, a deep character creation, lots of social opportunities, crafting, a deep and fun RPG system, exciting classes and player-made cities.
