Avatar boobs have been shrunk in a recent Age Of Conan: Hyborian Adventure patch, according to a thread on the official AOC forum. Not that affects the MMORPG in any real way, but for one AOC forumite, Dusk, it was enough to prompt a degree of outrage and to post a thread containing these shots:

Before… And after…

Amid the sniggering and lame masturbation jokes, there was a more serious undertone to the thread: Dusk’s character had been alterated without his consent. Happily, Funcom is addressing the issue, which means we can create all the stereotypical buxom hotties we like. How’s that for fairness and equality?

Eidos and Funcom celebrated their latest venture, Age Of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, with a massive launch party in Oslo on 13 May. The event included over 50 actors dressed in barbarian garb, a fantasy battle scene and of course, King Conan himself who oversaw the festivities from his lofty perch and only deigned to move when a fight broke out and his warriors were in grave need of assistance.

Music came courtesy of the Age Of Conan soundtrack director Morten Sørlie and Norwegian punk rockers Turbo Negro, who received a warm reception from the 400+ event attendees. More details and photos to come on the TPCG blog site.
