Funcom showed some symptoms of growing pains yesterday, as the anxiously anticipated patch for
Age of Conan, which
promised to bring many important bug fixes,
failed to get off the ground until around 7pm EST instead of 12pm EST, as originally scheduled. It's not entirely abnormal for players to clamber about receiving compensation for lost time in situations like these, but it
is somewhat rare when a company actually follows through on this expectation.
Much to our surprise, Funcom
offered an official apology for the delays yesterday, and have granted all active accounts an additional day of play-time to compensate for the outage. We doubt this will quell the steady drumbeat of players who are dissatisfied with the
Age of Conan experience, but then, what will?
