Are female characters really penalized in Age of Conan?

That was the most brutal review I've read so far. Many people are saying that the game is new and just needs time, but it's sounding more and more like there are fundamental design issues with the game that are going to be the most limiting factors. Not things that can be touched up and improved on. How they could hype this as revolutionizing MMOs is beyond me.

Which design issues exactly? I've been playing for a while and, honestly, the game is just lacking content currently. Sure the game isn't "revolutionary" , but the only people who said that are those going along with the PR Hype.

However it does have some very strong design issues backing it, some which are already getting looked at (read: PvP). Other than that I feel that we can't really get a decent idea of what the game is like when most of the population is probably around level 40-50 right now.

Either way I'm curious. I haven't read the review (no time to read an 8 page review, at work) but any sort of bullet points would be great. I admit the game does have its flaws (lag screws me at times with the combo system, and spellweaving seems more like a fancy [if not extremely fucking cool] trick right now) but I don't think any of the core issues are a problem.

As far as females go it certainly is a hilarious bug. Yeah, it's crippling but it is funny.
