I et interview med Eurogamer udtaler Gaute Godager, manden bag Funcoms Age of Conan, at hans spil er ligesom bøf og vin, mens World of Warcraft er burger og cola fra McDonald's.

"I enjoy playing WoW, I enjoy playing Lord of the Rings Online," indrømmede Godager, før han slog ud efter sin rival.

"But you know... I'm going to be a bit cheeky now, but if you've been to McDonald's for four or five years, and had your burger and your Coke, sometimes it's great to just have a great steak and a glass of good wine.

"I think that's what we're trying to do. It's more expensive, it's not for everyone and perhaps it's not as easily accessible as WOW is. But it could be more meaty," afsluttede Godager.

Age of Conan udgivelse har været en bragende succes med en million eksemplarer sendt afsted til butikkerne, og antallet af spillere har allerede overskredet Funcoms forventninger. Men mange spillere klager over ufærdigt indhold.

I interviewet indrømmer Godager, at meget af det indhold som var planlagt til spillets udgivelse måtte blive holdt tilbage, så det kunne afpudses.

"What we chose to do at launch was to play it safe - to pick areas and zones and regions and hold them back, then finish them post-launch... The big zones that we're giving out this Autumn like Ymir's Pass and others - those are definitely pre-launch stuff that was cut or put on hold."
