Early Release began today for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. After an initial 3 hour delay (from a start time of Noon CST to 3pm CST), the following opening message appeared:
By Crom! By Mitra! By Set! The day is here!
I bid you Welcome to Hyboria!
For 5 years, we, the galley slaves of Funcom, have toiled on the oar for your future pleasure. For 5 years we have felt the merry whip inscribe the letters “Conan” on our backs, mixing sweat with blood, reminding us to pull harder. Now we have at last reached the shore. The barge now transformed into a luxury ship and we bid you welcome on board. Not as slaves, naturally, but as captains, esteemed passenger or pilots.
The point is – from now on, Hyboria is yours as much as ours. We will build this world with you. We hope you will fall as much in love with it, as we have. Know though, that we might experience a bit of rough sea the first days. This is the nature of launches… Let me take this moment to apologize for any bumpiness. Smoother waters are sighted ahead!
Welcome to Hyboria, welcome home!
Yours truly,
Gaute Godager
Game Director,Age of Conan
