Everybody gets to see the girls as any real barbarian should

It would probably not be enough to say that Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is one of the most anticipated MMO games in the world at the moment. And one of the reasons we will all love to play it (and Fox News will probably go crazy again) is the fact that, you know, when Conan lived, people didn't care too much about clothing. In a good nudity-like way.

Still, since for the fictional history's sake some things will never be accepted in video or computer games, a censorship frenzy has been started by the mighty gods. As a result, Funcom has scared the crap out of us when they first announced that the U.S. version of the game got an M rating and all the girls lost their nipples. But, fortunately, it was just a little error and it was corrected shortly after: the U.S. version of Age of Conan got a Mature 17+ rating, after all, which means that players will be able to see full blood and fatalities, breasts with nipples, but no full nudity. Well, at least the girls are happy since they got their nipples back.

Still, the most unhappy people should be those from Germany, since the 18+ rated German version of the game will have no decapitation, dismemberment, and over-the-top type fatalities, even though it will have full gore and (it seems) completely natural girls, as the developers wanted them to be.

With these two little problems (no, not the nipples) solved, you should know next that everybody else will get the complete, unchanged 18+ version of the game. And, even though no data has been made available regarding the regions most of the players come from, Funcom has just announced that 500,000 gamers have already joined the community. And they are all waiting for the 20th of May release of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.
