Ages of Conan developer Funcom has apologised for erm, accidentally reducing the breast size of all of the female characters in its MMO.
The apology comes after many Age of Conan users spotted the breast reduction on their female game characters and complained on the official forums, even providing photo evidence of the boob job.
"Funcom can confirm that some of the female models in the game have had the size of their breasts changed," the company said in a statement. "This is due to an unintended change in data that was introduced in an earlier patch, data which controls the so-called morph values associated with character models and the size of their respective body parts.
"We are working on a fix for this and your breasts should be back to normal soon." Right on time as well - we were about to return our copies to the shops in a strop.
A strong performance is expected from the head-chopping MMO, which has already lobbed GTA IV off the top spot in several European countries.
It came out in the UK last week. Our boys (i.e. PC Zone) are currently playing through it, and you'll have the proper, fully fleshed review shortly.
Are you really surprised people moan? MMO players can be MASSIVELY protective of their in game avatars. It's a very odd state of affairs when those characters want the ultimately armour helmet from the hardest raid dungeon, and then don't actually want it displayed on their avatar as 'people can't see their face'...
My opinion? Don't want to see the helmet, don't bloody wear it.
lmoa, the guy siad hes not returning his copy now due to them acknowledging the error, hahaha
Fair enough if the game is boring and it gives you something to look at but in most of these games you only ever see your character from the back or slightly off too the side, so whats the point? lol
I know, im gonna write my own MMO and just have all the chicks looking like plastic barbie pron stars, the game can be crap but as long as the characters look stupid it would sell lmao
Its not nice to mock the less fortunate. For most of those poor MMO nerds a female game character is probably the closest they will ever come to interacting with a female.
