Title: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: HaemishM on January 24, 2006, 07:54:04 AM Funcom Launches new Age of Conan Community Portal (http://www.f13.net/index2.php?subaction=showfull&id=1138118046&archive=&start_from=&ucat=13&).
Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: Yegolev on January 24, 2006, 07:59:03 AM Robert Howard looks like someone killed his dog. Funcom is Norwegian for "nutsack". Pass.
Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: schild on January 24, 2006, 08:13:28 AM Yea, that Robert Howard thing on...every page of that site really fucks everything up. It makes the site turn from something reasonably well designed into, well, this (http://members.tripod.com/fuzzymartian/).

Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: Mesozoic on January 24, 2006, 10:17:28 AM A licensed MMO? Shit, thats a surefire hit. Give me a second while I liquidate all my assets and pour my cash into Funcom stock. Its champagne and caviar from here on out, boys.
EDITED TO ADD: The FAQ is drunk. Quote What exactly is an online action RPG? - Jan 05, 2006 Age of Conan takes all the best aspects from the various genres and melds them into an enjoyable whole. The frantic combat action of the best action titles, a deep and involving story crafted by our experienced and award winning storytellers all set within an online world full of other players to enjoy the action, trade and share experiences with! Its like the best game ever! Here's $50.00! Can I give you my CC# now? Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity!

Post by: Lum on January 24, 2006, 10:50:58 AM Robert Howard looks like someone killed his dog. Well, yes. He was not a happy person. Read his wiki entry for more on that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Howard Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Do you guys remember the AO comunity, when they started the mass deletion of any post or thread that didnt show them in a favorable light? Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity!

Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: Signe on January 24, 2006, 11:18:19 AM I always get Conan confused with Tarzan. I always remember which is which by thinking about Cohen the Librarian. Shit, I'm such a doofus.
I would say gratz to Lum for finally sorting out an avatar, but the one he's chosen worries me. Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: Mesozoic on January 24, 2006, 11:25:43 AM ...you mean as a side-effect of the siezure?
EDIT: ?? This Lum, he is not human - not bound by the forum-rules of the mortal. Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity!

He was not a happy person. Read his wiki entry for more on that. I'd not use his face on my product, even if there was a "happy" picture of him. It looks like they are trying to sell Robert Howard Bar-B-Que Sauce. FunCom, however, knows no limits of bad taste or suckery. Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: Morfiend on January 24, 2006, 12:07:35 PM On the other hand, I will be begging schild for a beta account for this, as I am very curious to see how the 1/2 singleplayer 1/2 multiplayer works out, also how the action combat stuff works.
Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: Fargull on January 24, 2006, 12:57:28 PM Better than the Wiki (http://www.rehoward.com/)
The hype machine, how jaded it has become. I have taken the stance of not looking at a game till it is near release. Nothing at this point matters. Except Warhammer, damn Mythic, but that is a game I will actually pre-purchase. Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: Soln on January 24, 2006, 03:39:31 PM Someone worldly educate me.
Don't Asian MMO's wait till Beta to hype? Isn't there something of bad taste in Korea or Japan not to push a game until it's close to complete, or complete and in real testing? Naive, moi? Title: Re: Join the Crom-munity! Post by: Trippy on January 24, 2006, 04:03:12 PM Is it just me or does the Funcom logo look like there's a slash running through it as in "no Fun Com" on first glance?
