 When it comes to Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, developer Funcom started with the MMORPG genre on the PC platform. After months of speculation, Funcom finally confirmed the console version of the game on Xbox 360.
This time, gaming site CVG got to talk with Product Manager Erling Ellingsen and found out that a "cross-platform action" for the game is being cooked up, and the Age of Conan developers are currently toying with many different solutions.
Solutions to what, you ask? Solutions to any problems that might be encountered when PC and Xbox 360 players meet each other online. Ellingsen explained:
There are several issues with mixing people on the same server. Will they be able to communicate well enough with each other? Will the console users be less responsive than the PC users? There are many issues that must be addressed.
The product manager wouldn't go into details, but he mentioned that giving players the freedom of choice is what Funcom is going after. He then revealed that Age of Conan might come up with "shared servers" for players on both platforms but some other servers will remain dedicated for each.
