Age of Conan bans big boobs |

In an outrageous piece of censorship FunCom have nerfed their MMO Age of Conan by adjusting the breast size slider on the character creation page in order to limit players to more realistic proportions. Bah! If I want realism I’ll watch the news. This is a fantasy game and as such the women, by definition, must have unfeasibly large breasticles. Some players are even threatening to close their accounts if this case of nerfing is not withdrawn immediately. It is not clear if any of these players are women flavored.
Since its release last month, Age of Conan has taken the MMO community by storm, successfully netting more than 400,000 subscriptions in the first few days after its release and is shaping up to be a WoW killer. I spoke to an ex-WoWer who has now moved onto AoC and asked him why he switched: “Age of Conan has infinitely better graphics but mainly the potential for massive player vs player battles is far superior - i.e. between guilds, with siege warfare etc.
Of course it’s a new game and is a bit buggy, and needs more content, so you cannot compare the 2 games currently - WoW has many years of polishing behind it.”
Bizzard must be shivering in their boots.

This is an outrage! How dare they accidentally reduce the size of digital breasts! I’m calling for a boycott. Everyone meet in my basement, and my mom will bake us all cookies whilst we hatch our nefarious scheme of resistance!

Well, I guess there’s always Soul Calibur IV.
I wonder if Yoda can even see Ivy’s face from his perspective?

I think they should give us more mammarial madness rather than reducing it.
I want by bust size to affect NPC behaviour dammit!

They said it was an accidental change in a code number somewhere

I read that apparently the reason for shrinking the boobs was because the larger sizes were poking through some armor models and such. Whether this is true, I don’t know, but it sounded as if the boob slider functionality should be returning before long.

Funny how this bug/feature is getting a ton more interest than any other bugs in the game. :)

Poor Yoda. May be too much of a good thing in that case. Way too much. Serriously though, I don’t see how I could take a horde of giant ta-tas trying to kill me without falling out of my chair laughing.
