"In Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, players will find that the elves provide the most satisfying play experience. Their graceful nature and beautiful appearance will often garner a few coin from passers-by simply by existing and elves are granted first access to all taverns in the land, while others may have to wait for an instance to open up just to get in, and their exclusive, elf-only tree cities provide a relaxing respite from a wearying world. Elves also gain mystical protection from other adventurers, such that none may raise their hand or weapon to an elf, unless that elf has already attacked them."
Sweet. I'm gonna be a Bard!
The Bumblebee Mounts cracked me up personally. *laughs* Giant Bumblebees indeed.

So the joke is basically making fun of a staple race in fantasy MMO's. My last experience of such refined humour was POTBS taking potshots at WoW, it turned out to be "hey we suck but we don't suck as much as out competition, we don't have elves!"
Hardy - har - har.
As if no other game/movie/video/whatever has made fun of elves before.
Sheesh. Lighten up people. It's April's Fools. Why do some people have to turn even this into a bash-festival?

Dang, April Fools... and I really liked the Giant Bumblebee mount idea. *sniff*
Because some people are apparently bored out of their mind and need something to whine about. Just let that Troll go back to his cave and let us continue the laughter
BTW I HATE Elves, so sue me!

Yes, I feel the same way about Arnold Scwarzenegger clones running around in furry diapers.
Still going to give the game a shot though.
That shows that Funcom are in good mood to joke in this way and are happy with AoC and are gearing up for a good launch on May 20th :P
Here's for a good game!
