Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures is coming to Russia. I don't know how many international readers we get on this sight (hello!) so let's just talk about what this means for Funcom. This means more money for Funcom. For US gamers already familiar with playing online games you no doubt have expereinced some kind of culture shock or another when you play against other opponents from different countries (annoying little kids are the same no matter what language they speak). The Russian community will have their own dedicated servers, local customer support, communities, and websites so they won't have to put up with us capitalist dogs (that was a joke, a JOKE). So during the fourth quarter let us open our arms to other players in Russia as they will finally know the glorious (or gorious) expereince that is Age of Conan.
