Age of Conan* director Gaute Godager believes his game is on an entirely different level from other MMOs, going so far as to compare the disparity to the difference between McDonalds' fast food and steak and wine.
"If you've been to McDonalds for four or five years, and had your burger and your coke, sometimes it's great to just have a great steak and a glass of good wine," Godager told Eurogamer in a recent interview.
"I think that's what we're trying to do. It's more expensive, it's not for everyone and perhaps it's not as easily accessible as WoW is. But it could be more meaty," he added.
Godager did preface his statment, saying he was being "a bit cheeky,"
though he truly should have known that such a smug statement would set off a firestorm of angry MMO players all across the 'net.
These people have nothing but rage and far too much free time, and if you think they won't remember this you haven't read through any 40-page forum posts on stuff that happened 5 years back in games that no longer exist.
Still, I doubt Godager's quip was malicious. If anything it was a slip of the tongue due to how successful Age of Conan has been since launch.
I can't blame the guy for a bit of egotism, but you can be sure thousands of other people will.
