Age of Conan, Barbarian Funeral

One of the most frustrating feelings you could end up facing in your life is that "what could have been if," and that's exactly what we're going to talk about today - Age of Conan, barbarian funeral. No, this is not a new game, but the outcome that seems closer than ever for a MMORPG that millions of gamers expected to be much more than it managed to become...

The fact that Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures could become available for Xbox 360 doesn't push aside the cruel reality that our barbarian MMORPG here may be dying, and the latest events show exactly that - Age of Conan, barbarian funeral, as the title says, and here's exactly why...

According to Funcom, during this week, the total number of servers for Age of Conan will be sent right down to the floor, from 49 to only 18, with the biggest losses expected to strike North America and Oceania. In those 2 areas, 16 servers will be closed, leaving only 6 up & running, while Europe will have twice as many still available, to handle all the all major language regions equally.

The official version of the story is that the move will make your experience better, with busier, more enjoyable worlds, but we all know what's the truth behind this, right?
