” Glad you made it to Age of Conan , and please, please feel free to look me up if you need any further help or want a group .” When that bit of purple private tell text scrolled through the chat box of of our newly created guardian last week, it was clear that we weren’t finding what we initially expected when we set out to research the community in Funcom’s sword and sorcery MMORPG.
