They should re-name this game "Age of cheap gimmicks", its full of them. Its nice to have 1 or 2 gimmicks but when you add to many it makes the game look cheap and nasty.
I hope they don't have mail boxes and /dance, it will lag every time you need to go post something due to all the muppets /dancing topless bit like wow but worse.
They should concentrate on making that siege and combat system better at the moment it looks crap, siege system may be good but if you watch that demonstration they did it looks like it barely worked with no npcs moving on screen.
Instead of wasting their time making npcs piss I'm sure that will get old after the first time you see it, same with the half naked female models. I really doubt this game will end up attracting mature players like the M rating would suggest.
I read an interview the other day that said when the lead dev presented this game he said "We have boobs" as his opening line, doesn't sound like the kind of thing you would focus on if your game supposedly has all this good combat, sieges, city building etc
yup i'd love to be in game with people like that rather than people like you who wouldn't reckonise humour if it ass bandit-ed them.
There is a difference between real humour and teenage immaturaty.

Wow...decapitate or dismember someone and people cheer...show boobs or pee and people become disgusted. Wierd...
As far as gamers or the developers objectifying women....women objectify themselves too by displaying and profiting from their sexuality. Sexuality is as a part of humanity as is our brutality and propensity for war. You can deny this truth, but the history of humanity shows us otherwise.
People that don't like adult content should play any of the other games already out there, because Conan's world is not for you.
I read the books in College. I enjoyed them. I want to live in the Conan world, not some sanitized and politically corrected world where the Conan IP is castrated to appease the overly sensitive.
And I thought the video of the npc urinating in the harbor was very funny. I only wish I had seen it in game without warning. That would have been hilarious.
Pissing was motion captured only for while drunk. And while we did have another one as well I made them both unavailable so only a GM cheat command would work to do it.
Mixed feelings on knowing people would want to pee everywhere and giving people the freedom to do so.

In my opinion none of the features of the game or its rating will change the people that will play the game, World of Warcraft has pretty much set the MMOG's population as it is, and those people will be the people populating new MMO's wether we want it or not, so saying x feature will bring more kids is irrelevant, same goes for its rating , the MMO genre is not a niche market anymore, if the MMO is good and appealing you can expect a portion of the "kids" to join.
edit: And lets be honest, it's every publisher wet dream to have an MMO with 9 million subs, at the end of the day they dont care if 100k of their subscribers want a niche MMO.

QFT... no matter what they say, everyone wants to be a bajillionaire.
What the hell are the devs thinking.. why would anyone want to watch npc or a player urinating while playing a game? or why would anyone want to watch that at all?
YEAH thats really humorous AHAHAHAA I'm dying from laughter.. Now all we need is farting and taking a dumb for this game to hit the jackpot. Seriously this kind of "humor" has been beaten to death no thx.
I was looking to see revolutionary features didn't know defecation would be one of them.

Think about it, do you really care if the trees around you in a virtual world have actual leaves (or at least leaflike objects) or just flat green panels? do you really care if the wildlife responds as it might normally do, IE hunting for food, avoiding danger, etc. do you really care that any particular NPC actually has a name other than "questgiver1156", or a family, or a home, or a job, etc.
Not a single one of the items mentioned above are at all necessary for a game. Yet, they can and do add to the environment, the immersion if you will. Conan's world is a dark, gritty, primitive, and brutal place. The sight of a drunk pissing off a wharf is among the very least things they could have added. If you are looking for a clean and sanitary fantasy world that is completely politically correct by today's standards, try WAR instead, this is not for you.

anyone who gets concerned by pixelated boobs is laughable and should go play something else.
My blog:
Yeah because I clearly said it was just the existance of pixelated boobs that bothered me

Do you get bonus damage for "catching them with their pants down" quite literally?

Let's hope they add a /teabag emote, that would be awesome.
