GI.Biz Interview: Life After Conan

GI.Biz writes: "When Age of Conan was first released in 2008 the game’s initial sales numbers showed great promise. But as time wore on developer Funcom found it increasingly hard to maintain high subscriber numbers in the face of strong competition – particularly from perennial giant World of Warcraft.
