Things are looking up for FunCom with an announcement today that its MMO 'Age of Conan' has launched in Russia and Poland.

The developers have teamed up with 1C and CD Projekt to make the game available in Polish and Russian respectively. These companies will oversee the service aspects related to the running of an MMO. They will also be responsible for localization, customer service and community management, as well as sales and marketing.

“Eastern Europe is quickly becoming one of the most important markets for massive online games, and it will be a continued focus for Funcom to strengthen our presence there. Together with our partners we will therefore focus on making the game a success for many years to come,” says Morten Larssen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Funcom. “Since we launched Age of Conan last year, the game has taken large strides. This means that all new customers get a fuller Conan experience and nothing pleases us more.”

According to FunCom, they are continuing to invest heavily in the game and there are currently more than 120 people working on it despite a poor start. However, news has just broken that the CFO of FunCom has resigned due to a fourth quarter loss of $23m USD for the company.
