WarCry offers a two-page Q&A with Funcom's Shannon Drake about the status of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.
Mitra's Method: Not taking the three-day head-start into account, how do you see May 20 panning out in your mind? Paint a picture for us.

Shannon Drake: A Picture.

But seriously. ;) While we're ever-hopeful for a completely smooth and pain-free launch day, and will be working tirelessly towards that with the open beta and PVP test and tech/stress tests and general beta (whew!), I don't think any of us is naive enough to think that everything will go completely smoothly and according to plan. However, we've made plans from everything is perfect (this one involves champagne) to real Wrath of God-type stuff (this one, not so much) and will be doing everything possible to keep players informed and happy should things go wrong and even if they go right.
