In a few minutes the gates to Hyboria will open to the world. An exciting moment for all of us here at Funcom. But let Game Director Gaute Godager welcome you personally:

For 5 years we have felt the merry whip inscribe the letters “Conan” on our backs, mixing sweat with blood, reminding us to pull harder. Now we have at last reached the shore. The barge now transformed into a luxury ship and we bid you welcome on board. Not as slaves, naturally, but as captains, esteemed passengers or pilots. The point is – from now on, Hyboria is yours as much as ours. We will build this world with you. We hope you will fall as much in love with it, as we have. Know though, that we might experience a bit of rough sea the first days. This is the nature of launches… Let me take this moment to apologize for any bumpiness. Smoother waters are sighted ahead! Welcome to Hyboria, welcome home! Yours truly, Gaute Godager Game Director, Age of Conan

Sometimes things don't turn out the way they were planned. It seems we also experience this today...

Due to some unexpected issues we postpone the time of the US launch by 2 hours (9 am GMT).

We really need to make sure that we do everything to give you the best possible gaming experience. Even if this means that something needs to be checked and maybe tweaked a little. In this case we decided to give it a little more time before we open the servers. We hope you understand.

Thank you for your interest in the game. We are looking forward to welcome you in Hyboria very soon.

One of the reasons we are taking a little more time are the issues players reported about having client crashes after installing the latest patch. We need to make sure this is fixed before letting more users patch.

The time announced in-game (to those users who are playing the game) is actually 3 hours after the planned launch time (so 10am GMT). This is the correct new scheduled launch time so I will adjust the information accordingly in the forum announcements now.

We really want to thank you for your support and patience. I know it is not easy when announced times are getting changed again and again. But I hope you understand that we just have to do it to ensure a smooth gaming experience with as less technical trouble as possible.

Thank you
