AoC Interview

Next Gen Biz has an interview with Age of Conan!

Given that Age Of Conan has a lot of adult content, how can the game poach players
from other MMOGs?

We are definitely trying to appeal to a mature demographic, but our statistics show that the average age of a player in an MMOG is 25. That’s not only in Anarchy Online, but when we talk to our competitors it appears to be that way across the board. People say: “Don’t go too mature – that’s risky; you’ll lose all the 14 year olds.” But there’s not that many! They just make a lot of noise. I hope we can appeal to people who want something more than the pink-dressed elves. If you’ve been dining on McDonalds for four years you might want a bloody juicy steak with red wine, and I think that’s what we’re trying to give the player right there.

I'll take mine medium-well, thank you!
