Age of Conan posponed yet another 6 months

Hard blow to eagerly awaiting fans, but better that it be pushed back than to have a disastrous launch and/or game.

I couldn't agree with you more..

After they announced last week they were taking out and merging some of the classes, I was figuring this would be coming. It is good though, because it should give them time to test the new merged classes they made.

Vanguard goes live tomorrow though

Seems Funcom is learning well, they did the same with Dreamfall, extended the deadline to make sure things was "right" as they designed/planned it.
Hopefully the AO launch was/is the only time Funcom ever "rushed" a release prematurely.

So I applaud this delay.
I assume some classes was too close in some areas and merging some will allow larger variation between classes?
I feel sorry for the team that handle balancing as they have to re-balance almost everything heh.

Actually from the official announcement it seemed just the opposite. From what I interpretted from the message they said that each class was "too rigid" in its set rolls, and that it would limit what a person could do with a class and thus leading them to get bored. So bringing the classes together allows classes to do a little bit more of everything ... playing worst case scenario they made a game of hybrids ... which realistically we know that is not the case, and only time will tell if they made the right choice.
