"Funcom might just strike gold with Age of Conan, and that's a fact...I can't wait to start crushing my enemies," said Gamespy in their E3 sum-up, and put words on what all RPG fans could see. Despite being shown in a pre-alpha state, `Conan' won "Best Massively Multiplayer Game of Show" at Gamespot while also becoming the "Best MMO of Show" runner-up at IGN. More than 5.5 million gamers visited GameSpot.com during the week of E3, accessing more than 100 million page views, so the importance of the award is evident.
