Via ett städat pressmeddelande har #Funcom bekräftat att deras hypade MMORPG #Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures kommer att släppas först 25 mars 2008. Anledningen till detta är att de helt enkelt vill fortsätta finpolera spelet tills de är nöjda med det, något som de förmodligen lärt sig av både sina egna och sina konkurrenternas tidigare misstag.

Funcom and Eidos announce a new release date for 'Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures'. The highly anticipated MMO is now set to release on the 25th of March 2008. By setting a new release date for the game, Funcom can continue the focus on honing, polishing and improving the heralded qualities of the game, ensuring a fantastic MMO experience when it launches next spring.

“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."
