Gamers around the world heaved a sigh of relief following an announcement by Funcom that boobs in the recently released MMOG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures will be re-inflated to their original size.
Reports of the shrunken cans first surfaced immediately following the release of the game’s most recent patch. The nerfed knockers inspired a rapid and venomous response on the Age of Conan forums, with some users going so far as to threaten to cancel their subscriptions. Kotaku has reported that one forum member known as Dusk posted “before and after” screenshots, vividly illustrating the difference between the splazoingas and the speedbumps.
In response to the sadly predictable furor over Funcom’s funbag fiddling, the developer issued a statement confirming that in-game flapdoodles were in fact reduced in size, but said the change was the result of an error and promised that rack re-inflation to nerd-approved standards would take place in the near future.
“Funcom can confirm that some of the female models in the game have had the size of their breasts changed,” the company said in a post on the official Age of Conan forums. “This is due to an unintended change in data that was introduced in an earlier patch, data which controls the so-called morph value associated with character models and the size of their respective body parts. We are working on a fix for this and your breasts should be back to normal soon.”
