Gaute Godager, the games' producer and director, said: "Even though we regret delaying the launch, I am certain we made the right choice. I hope that our followers and fans will support our decision, and respect our commitment to quality."

Do you ever get tired of tossing the same boring fireball over and over again in massively multiplayer online games? Funcom is trying something a little different in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, an MMOG set in Robert E. Howard's sword-and-sorcery fantasy realm that's getting ready to release at the end of May.

Over the past two days we've gone over Age of Conan's classes and the things to consider while deciding on and setting up a character. Today, we're going to focus more on how the game works. Specifically, how the raiding and player-versus-player (PvP) mechanics are set up.

Fresh off the heels of releasing an update to the highly successful Age of Conan MMORPG yesterday, developer Funcom has once again graced us with its presence by releasing yet another substantial patch hours after the previous update.

While Age of Conan offers plenty of options for player-versus-player (PvP) combat in its open world and special arenas, the most interesting outlet for aggression directed at humans is through siege warfare.

Our dear Governator out here in California once strode the land of Hyboria crushing the likes of Wilt Chamberlain and James Earl Jones with a single stroke of his mighty two handed sword. More importantly, the burly barbarian had a hot little Olivia D'Abo looking to jump all up his stuff. If that's not something to emulate, I don't know what is. While Arnie certainly popularized Conan beyond its previous appeal with the release of the movies, the actual fiction had been around for quite some time. In fact, Conan has been decapitating and eviscerating his enemies for around 70 years now. That's a pretty long career for a guy that started out as a wheel pushing slave.

Let's make things perfectly clear. Age of Conan is not for children. In fact, Crom may actually hate children, we're not sure. This is an M rated title for just about every descriptor in the ESRB rating system. Heads are cut off, drugs are taken, booze is consumed, and for all we know, dogs and cats are off in the bushes making babies.

Funcom's highly anticipated massively multiplayer online game 'Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures' is getting ready to invade this year's Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. Not only will the siege warfare system be demonstrated to select press behind closed doors, gamers will also be able to join in on the fun by playing against each other in brutal, bloody, and ferociously fast-paced player-versus-player battles on the show floor.

After numerous delays and mounting hype, Funcom's Age of Conan was finally released three weeks ago. Based on the fiction of early 20th century pulp writer Robert E. Howard, the new massively mutliplayer game is faithful to the source material, meaning that you'll be spending most of your time watching muscled brutes smashing and chopping their way through ranks of enemies.

In 'Conan' the players will encounter a dark, lush, violent and sinful universe, presented in fantastic graphics and stunning 7.1 surround audio. In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost civilizations and a struggling human race, the mighty barbarian has finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia.
