Q: I am here with Jorgen Tharaldsen, Product Director at Funcom, the maker of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. What can you tell us about this new game?
A: I'm here today showing Age of Conan, which is an MMO game, set in the mature, brutal, barbaric world of Conan. And in this universe, you enter the game as a character. You create this character - you start out as a galley slave. And Conan is to become King of the nation of Aquilonia, one of the mightiest nations in this world. And you enter this world and you fight, and you live, and you explore, and adventure in this massive universe, alone or together with friends. You build cities, you go fight demons and demigods, you use magic or the sword or the bow or just make an impact on this world. It's a game where you have a mix of focus on storytelling and having a really good story aspect with it, with lots of gameplay. And I think the core difference of this game, compared to all the other online games now, is our combat system and the way you actually do combat in the game.
