Age of Conan's "Kinda" Launch and Massive Pre-Orders

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the david-and-goliath dept.

While some are already enjoying the joys of Age of Conan via the early launch, many more will soon be enjoying the fruits of Funcom's labor. An amazing 700,000 copies of the game are being shipped to retailers for day one sales and in some locations pre-orders will not be filled due to server limitations. Between this and the new Warhammer game on the way, should Blizzard be worried, or will Wrath of the Lich King continue to hold their competitive edge?

    Don't forget people, Blizzard is evil.

    They were one of the early abusers of the DMCA hammer, and they used it to shut down reverse engineering of the server protocol that would have allowed widespread modifications of the Diablo 2 engine.

    Blizzard does not allow mods like Valve does.
