What’s that? A Crom joke? You aren’t the boss of me, mom! As we mentioned way back in the long ago days of July 2012, Age of Conan is still on track for a server merger that will mimic that of The Secret World’s single-server technology. That said, it’s been a while and not a [...]

Funcom Q2 2012 Highlights
August 28th, 2012 Omali Funcom’s second quarter finances are out, and the results are rather predictable.
