Great interview, sounds like these guys are intent on making a true dark fantasy game. Crom would be most pleased |

Based on what he said and what I know about Conan's world, this game is going to take violence (and possibly sex) in computer games to a whole new level. And we all know that this is a combination that sells. Great graphics, but the solo-friendly attitude concerns me, because usually it means that people will be clueless about group play later on and the community has way too many l33t people in it. I wish they would get licence to combine some elements from Michael Moorcock's "Stormbringer" into this game. I mean, the genres kinda match, and there has never been a fantasy saga as dark as that one. Somehow I just feel that Elric - and his demonic soul-eating sword - would fit into this world. |

funcom have anarchy online as a basis for their new games, ao still popular but going down, for them it more like they do a new game or they can close theit business. |

FC also had Dreamfall: The Longest Journey being released for xbox and windows next year which will probably be very successful. |

Goodness I just cant wait for this game...I just hope it brings with it PVP with a purpose, one where you can effect the game world like AO did... And I hope the stay away from the mistakes that AO made like that Expansion Shadow lands.. Listen to the community this time Please Funcom...

Oh boy, the promise of outstanding art work in a fantasy environment sounds inviting! The M rating is also intriguing. After months of WoW I am ready for something a little darker and mature. "The Pen Is Mightier Than The Demo" |

Yes amazing as it seems, it loks like Funcom are actually on the right track.... I agree with "must not get my hopes up" I did that with AO and it basically made me hate Funcom for years... That interview was excellent and it really said what I was wanting to hear. "We dont want to water down the game for ratings", "we want to make it like REH wanted the world" Please Crom let it be true! +-+-+-+-+-+ |
