The Netherlands-based Funcom says its recently released MMO Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures currently boasts over 415,000 customers. The game sold-in (to retail and digitally) 1.2 million units, and sold through (customers who have entered game client key and billing info) 800,000 copies to customers.
An AoC player summoned a GM and convinced them to engage in a little "role-playing". The GM took the player to a more secluded portion of the game world and proceeded to describe a sexual scenario in graphic detail.
Funcom released the following statement:
We are aware of this matter, and necessary measures have been taken against them. We have clear guidelines for all employees in Funcom, and if the guidelines are broken there are consequences
