Age of Conan rating revealed: No nipples in US version

[VictimOfScience]

Funny, but should be hidden with NSFW Spoiler tags or some such...:O

You're probably right. Fixed.

I posted it on the official forums (with credit to you of course) and it was deleted and the thread was closed

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

LOL. I can't take all the credit, though. I just added the AoC.

I didn't even read the initial post, but any game ported to American that doesn't have nipples is blasphemous and should be burned.

Age of Conan, now featuring the latest nippular mapping technology. :E

This came as a bit of a shock to me, because just days before Kotaku reported quote the contrary. Any clarification?

here is the post stating it received the M rating and will remain unchanged.

The ESRB reviewed our application and gave us a rating of Mature 17+. The full rating with descriptors has not yet been publicly announced but will be
posted on the ESRB web site on 13 February 2008.

Funcom apologizes for this small error (or maybe two small errors.)

Taken from the forum post that Shacknews and Kotaku cited.

Update: Contradicting earlier statements, Funcom community manager Shannon Drake now claims that the North American version of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures will include nipples, though the German edition will still be edited to reduce in-game violence.

Happy day eh' Stern? Nipples for the win, I say.

edit: BHC: now more years behind than ever!
