The total print run for the Collector’s Edition will stand at 110,000, with no additional reprints. The Collector’s Edition may however be available at retail.
While Funcom did not release exact numbers relating to customer pre-orders, it did say in a statement that those numbers were “impressive”. Morten Larssen, VP of sales and marketing for Funcom, said of this number, “Everyone in Funcom is delighted and humbled with the historical pre-order numbers for Age of Conan. If the information we have is correct, they represent the highest pre-order number for any global launch of an original PC game, ever, including the original World of Warcraft launch.”
Funcom has stated that the inability to fulfill all orders for the game in all markets is related due to limitation in server capacity, and that more servers will be made available. In addition, the company has stated that the DirectX 10 version of the game has been delayed, and will be next available for preview in late August at the German Games Convention in Leipzig.
