Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Interview

The folks at MMODing have conducted an interview with Funcom game designer Jason Stone about their highly anticipated MMORPG, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

Q: How did you decide on the play style and what classes you were going to include in the game, and why are there four classes for both the Priest and Mage archetype, but only three for the Soldier and Rogue?

A: That’s just mainly a side effect of the class merges we did where we pulled classes together to give them more depth. It seemed silly to just add another class or keep one that we didn’t think would be as fun standalone just to keep the numbers the same. How we decided is really something to broad to answer, we just thought about what we thought defined them and then started working out what would make them feel cool and unique.
