Funcom Explains Age of Conan Damage Bug      
The bug was first discovered in June, when users noticed that female characters were dealing less damage than their male counterparts.

Age of Conan Continues to Dominate Retail Charts      
When Age of Conan stormed into retail stores as what we believe to be the most pre-ordered original PC game in history, it instantly became the best selling PC game of May.

In fact, Funcom believes that AoC is now the 2nd largest western MMO. Its good to see a new MMO seeing this kind of success, but could AoC ever become as huge as WoW?

The game has had a million copies shipped to retail and now Funcom is free to do what it takes to stay for the long haul. One major factor in the death of an MMO is a lack of funds.
 
Age of Conan Claims Number Two MMO Spot

In addition to incredible graphics and sound, the game will be filled with unique features like the "Real Combat" engine; a revolutionary new multi-point melee system which allows the players to swing their weapons where they direct it, in real-time!
