So do we. Some nights we still wake up screaming, haunted by visions of lithe Stygian dancers replaced by family-friendly Teletubbies. We thought those days of speculation and hysteria were gone, but apparently the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/07/21/succubi-get-perky-in-age-of-conan/">changes to the succubus model, </a>the rejigged <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/07/23/feared-censorship-once-more-fails-to-appear-in-age-of-conan/">Black Pyramid</a>, and the addition of <em>au naturel</em> Derketo worshipers outside said structure weren't enough to quell the rumors.<br /><br />Now new game director Craig Morrison, who has taken on the role following <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/19/funcoms-product-manager-speaks-out-on-gaute-godagers-departure/">the resignation of Guate Godager</a>, has <a href="http://forums.ageofconan.com/showpost.php?p=2004522&amp;postcount=36">addressed the players directly</a> on this issue. He gets props from us for doing this at all; a product director who actually <em>talks</em> to the player base is far more likely to do a good job than one who leaves that job to intermediaries.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/22/no-toning-down-of-age-of-conans-mature-content-says-new-dire/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>No toning down of Age of Conan's mature content, says new director</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/22/no-toning-down-of-age-of-conans-mature-content-says-new-dire/">No toning down of Age of Conan's mature content, says new director</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 22 Sep 2008 11:00:00 EST.
