Now we all know that its quite common (getting sick of this actually) for MMORPG to have character-creation features to personalize each player, but in in this game, players can still change the look of their character throughout the course of the game by adding battle scars and tattoos. It's like you're character is actually gaining "character" as the game progresses, how cool is that?

Still according to Mr. Tharaldsen, Funcom's goal is to create a mature world for more mature players to explore. Savage combat is a must for barbarian-related games. Game play includes "friendly" bar brawling (with the savageness depending on the amount of alcohol your character, or maybe even you, had), and full-scale sieges against player-made fortresses. Aside from that, there will be team vs. team and last man standing fighting features for short-term game. The Border Kingdoms in Hyboria will set as a back drop for players to build cities and fight each other in large scale battles.

True to the Conan lore and creation of Robert E. Howard, many characters from the Conan comics and movies will appear in the game. Funcom collaborates with Paradox Entertainment, who owns the Conan IP, to fuse great story elements to the game. Current storyline in the world of Conan outside gaming is set to be merged with the game. With all these developments, I wouldn't be surprised if people might start wishing for Global meltdown to bring back the Ice Age, now that's real-life barbarism.
