Age of Conan breasts to be re-inflated News

3 June, 2008

Funcom has apologised for accidentally deflating the breasts of the female models in Age of Conan.

Its honking error came about after fiddling with data in a recent patch, but it was all unintended and will hopefully be back to normal soon.

"Funcom can confirm that some of the female models in the game have had the size of their breasts changed," said the developer on the official forum, spotted by Kotaku.

"This is due to an unintended change in data that was introduced in an earlier patch, data which controls the so-called morph values associated with character models and the size of their respective body parts. We are working on a fix for this and your breasts should be back to normal soon."

Age of Conan is the latest MMO to puff its chest out and tackle the mighty World of Warcraft. Central to its distinguishing features are an action packed combat system featuring plenty of gore and severed limbs.

It was released on 20th May and managed to snare an impressive 400,000 players in just one week.

We felt it was about a 7/10 in its current state; its future alight with potential but hinging on patch influence and the development of PvP.

We'll be bringing you a full and detailed review of Age of Conan shortly before your 30-day free trial runs out later this month.

Maybe they should spend a bit more time you know... worrying about the incredibly buggy game they currently have on the market... just a thought...

I think it's well worth a news post.

As has been mentioned it's light hearted and gives a smile. This is a Very Good Thing (tm)

It's also an interesting insight into the sorts of things people complain about - in this case a subject often joked about or discussed from just about every angle in the past (scandalous sexism, bouncy realism etc)

Not every story can be a scare/legal battle sort so I'm glad to see something a bit different for once.

Buoyancy is more of a concern that simple mass in the game'scurrent state, and I would like to see some effort made by the development team to correct this. Perhaps the addition of a bra equipment slot could be considered.

I was being sarcastic, actually.

I'd rather read about CG boobies than sales figures any day.

more I play, the more I like this.. play a combat class...and on a pvp server you`ll never grow bored..
Combos and fatalities just gets more and more fun, and yesterday me and my girlfriend played together, and some smuck took the "our" quest goal.... lets just say he got beheaded . Unfortunatly,the one that hits the boss mob first gets the quest goal, rather than the one that finishes it off...
so if you just start the attack, you still get your quest done if someone lese finishes of the beast... meaning, we killed the other player in spite, and killed the boss mob for him... and we stil needed to wait for a new one to respawn, while he got a nice patch on his ganked wound in quest completion..

but still beheadning someone for killing "your" boar etc still is more fun than not being able to...

Which is of course how it should be.
