Funcom has announced that they have signed an agreement with 1C Company to work on the Russian language version Age of Conan.
Durham, USA – July 31, 2008 – Funcom and 1C Company announces the signing of a Service Partnership Agreement for a Russian version of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. According to the agreement 1C will fully localize voice and text and operate local customer service, communities, websites and in-game support for Age of Conan in Russian, while Funcom takes care of back-end technology, server infrastructure and continuous development of the game. A dedicated Russian realm is to be created, giving the Russian community an opportunity to stay together and communicate with each other in their native language.
The agreement shows Funcom and 1C Company’s full dedication to the growing Eastern European market, and is another important step in ensuring long-term success for Age of Conan through-out numerous languages and regions.
“1C Company is a clear leader in the Russian speaking regions, and we are confident we have found the perfect partner,” said Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom. “We have already shipped a substantial amount of English boxes into Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, but we know that the real key to success is achieved through localized servers and services. Together with 1C Company we will do our uttermost to make Age of Conan a success for many years to come.”

If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

LOL
Like they dont have enough problems with the english market already.
Russians loved them some AO. PK happy.
fix the english version first you dumb arses
Pretty sure the game is beyond fixing. All Funcom is doing by releasing a Russian version is brining in even more people to tell them what a terrible game AoC is.

agreed!
Waste of money
hi
not really, I'm sure the russian version will be botched up, kinda like how some japanese-to-engrish games are. Besides, if I remember, its only in Russia that when you PK in a game, you better be prepared to PK that same bitch in real life, then have your entire guild threaten the pk'ed person's family
happened in either germany or russia... oh well
