Age of Conan Patched and Selling Like Corinthian Spice
Age of Conan was just released to PC last week to much anticipation in the gaming community. The game’s developers Funcom has already released a first patch for the game and some impressive early sales figures.
In the its first week, the new Massively Multiplayer Online Game has 400,000 active players. Even Funcom admits that it’s way too early to tell if the game’s sales are any indication of success. But at this rate it’ll take no time to reach a user base of over 1 million members, considered by the industry to mark the success of any MMO. Funcom should be hopeful however, the games designer reported over a million signed up for the game’s beta.
Age of Conan fans will be happy to note that Funcom has already released a patch for the game. The update will fix a few bugs including one that caused players to get stuck in the Lacheish Planes. Another major complaint of an in-game dupe exploit has yet to be repaired. In the online gaming world a Dupe Exploit usually refers to a method that allows players to cheat and create duplicate items or other in-game resources.
It’s quite likely that many of us potential Hyperborians are waiting it out before jumping with both sandals into the gore-fest. After a few patches the game should attract even the most cautious gamers.

Not ONCE have I had to grind to reach a new level. I'm sure that will change past 60, but with Wow...it feels like you're moving in molasses and that's why so many people feel they need to cheat or buy gold.
I don't think you see that problem in Age of Conan. Even the single player storyline is fascinating enough to keep me playing.
