Age of Conan bares M rating

It's impossible to think of Robert E. Howard's iconic Cimmerian barbarian without also thinking of the brutal, lawless, and lewdly wanton Hyborian Age in which Conan dwells. That's exactly the tact Norwegian-based Funcom plans to take with the upcoming Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, a fully fledged massively multiplayer online role-playing game in which players delve into a world lorded over by Conan the king.
 
Fans hoping for the worst were rewarded in a sense this week with the Entertainment Software Rating Board awarding Age of Conan an M for Mature rating, according to a post on the game's official Web site by Funcom community manager Shannon Drake. However, while the M rating vindicates the violence, fans will experience it in different ways, depending on their region.
