This is going to make some people happier, and others sadder. 
Earlier this month, GameSpot editors named Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures the best massively multiplayer game of E3 2006. Today, its developer, Funcom, announced it has struck a deal to make sure the game will be the only massively multiplayer online role-playing game based on the legendary fantasy figure Conan. The Norwegian studio announced it has struck a deal with the estate of Robert E. Howard, the late author of the Conan stories, to make it the sole developer of Conan MMORPGs until 2018. The deal applies to both PCs and next-generation consoles, further fueling rumors--and hopes--that the title will be coming to either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. Funcom also has the rights to extend the deal by five years, if it so chooses, to 2023.

So happy about that.
YAY!! 
To Funcom
Way to go Funcon!!
That means SOE will NEVER put their hands on that game!!!
Likewise, ever since SOE took over Vanguard i have feared that any other game i take interest will be hijacked from the company from hell.
Long live AoC
