So many have waited for so long and now itīs finally here. Weīre proud to present the official beta sign-up link for Age of Conan - Hyborian Adventures. Believe me, this is no april fools prank people, itīs the real deal!

From the official boards:

Durham, USA - April 3, 2007

Funcom and Eidos announce the launch of the official 'Age of Conan' Beta sign-up program. The forthcoming Beta stages will give thousands of testers a unique chance to play the anticipated MMO before release, allowing Funcom to further enhance and polish the game prior to launch this October.

'Age of Conan' entered closed Beta last summer, but only selected partners and professional testers have been given access. The forthcoming Beta stages are now going to include an increasing number of external testers. By signing up as an eligible tester at the official website, participants are given the option to take part in two forms of Beta testing, defined as general Beta and technical Beta. The general Beta will be ongoing tests where Funcom focus on gameplay and content, while the technical Beta will be event based, dealing with aspects like stress testing, server load and large scale global log-in. The Beta programs go live this spring.

Go HERE to sign up now!

If you have any trouble registering, check this thread.

I fully expect to be given a beta code, only to have it revoked when they find out I'm a squirrel. Actually, now that I've posted that fact, I'll never get a Beta invite..... Ohhhh, sad face....

I hate squirrels. I...hate...you! SQUIRREL....MAN! ..Yeah!

Hey, hey! We have just as much right to this beta as you humans. Actually, we have more right; you guys caused global warming. So gimme my bills in the form of beta keyyyyysssssss....Booyeah, booyeah.

Youre a ... you ... what.

Beta!
WOO WOO WOO :D

My next editorial was going to be based around imminent beta applications - I'm going to have to put a new spin on things now. ;)

Figured it was coming soon, but this announcement was a bit sooner than I'd imagined. I signed up even though I won't be able to actually play until I get a new computer this summer. But hopefully it will coincide if I am lucky enough to get in. If not, might reapply once I get the new specs.

Squirrels are cute. Maybe they'll let you in on cuteness principle? ;)

Squirrel Beta Madness!!!
There you go Weezer, there's your spin....no don't thank me, I will consider it my good deed of the day. Score 1 Barbarian Brownie Point, By Crom!!!

Ran out of my office to register from home to the disliking of my boss :)

Haha x) i was home when you posted it on the forums so i applied like 2 mins after you made the post! ^^

LoL yea did the same 2 minutes after you told me abt it... musta been the same time Xidaz did it i thnk *pokes Xidaz*

Of course it was! we are the dominating officers of loki yah know! ^^

Damn right!!

Hey! Would you two knuckle heads knock it off? We all know House of Hades will rock you all! Muahaha.

Pffft! O kick you in your Cox :P

LoL j/k

We're just a week or so away from Summer (winter where I am), and that means General Beta becomes more and more of a reality for anyone of us!

Here's hoping we hear more about it over the next week or so...

Just a though: a new 'Clan of Conan' is due out this Friday; perhaps we'll hear something about it then. ;)

Hmmm Studying for classes next fall or Playing this game.. I could do both, but I must do one more over the other. Which do you think?

What, the AoC forums here at WarCry?

hey im new here and am not sure on some things like; will there be a monthly fee? and anyone know the system requirements? thank alot guys

yes, like any other (decent) mmos, there will be a monthly fee. so far, this fee has been around 15 dollars for all the mmos. about the system requirements, this is from the FAQ on the main website:

1.10
What sort of PC is required to play Age of Conan?
The minimum requirements for Age of Conan have not yet been finalize. The game will be highly scalable so you can adjust the settings according to the performance of your PC.

go over to www.ageofconan.com and check out the FAQ if you have more questions. or if you have anything specific you can ask us on these forums. (just make a new thread rather than post in a thread that has nothing to do with the topic of your inquiry)

dam... i dont own any MMOs, ive just played at friends house and stuff, i shyed away from WoW because of the monthly fee,but...this game will probobly be worth it , id rather it be at least 10$ compared to 15$ 150+ a year sucks

you probably spend more than 15 bucks a day on macdonalds and other stuff. 15 bucks a month is absolutely nothing!
besides, consider what you get with your 15 bucks. you get:

-constant updates to the game.
-free expansions (unlike WoW.. SCREW YOU MULLAH HUNGRY VIVENDI!).
-excellent customer support (compared to non-mmo games).
-a HUGE ever-changing world.

an mmo is very different from a simple game, so the 15 bucks is worth it, because you are not paying for something that you will be done with in a few days and go looking for something new. you are paying for long term quality gameplay that has unlimited replayability and human interaction (between other humans and the world itself).

by the way, a big kudos to you for not flowing with the masses and playing WoW for any considerable ammount of time. you probably tried it on your friend's account and played it now and then, but i'm pretty sure you never got too much into it correct? that is a good thing because now your MMO experience wouldn't be too much 'corrupted' by WoW.
WoW has sort of derailed the MMO market to what people expect from their MMOs. before it was long term gameplay quality, but now with WoW its short term low quality one-time satisfaction. it beats the whole point of playing an MMO. more so, every MMO is about 50% community interaction. with WoW, the community is basically the same 'b.net kiddies' that you've seen 5 years ago playing starcraft and diablo.

now with new MMOs, people that have played WoW as their first MMO will relate everything back to it, and compare it to it. you can't really blame them, i for example still think back to horizons and ultima when i think of an MMO, but the difference here is that those were real mmos, and were "good". wow isn't either.
already we see a few new MMOs that try to mimic WoW in it's appeal to "b.net kiddies".
thankfully, Conan is still taking the path of the 'good old mmos', and hasn't been aquired by a-holes such as Vivendi, EA or SOE

but back on the beta topic, has anyone here gotten an invite? i think i'm very unluck =(. out of all the MMOs i applied for (and thats a lot..) i've only ever gotten into EnB

will the mails go out today or tomorrow?

Umm it looks like your link is broken. I know its a bit old (the OP) so they may have taken down tie site. I had tried to get into beta over a year ago, all I got was Tech Tester... and even then all the tests were happening at the same time as my work.

Hi..
I was just wondering..
how can i get the beta?
am i 2 late?

no official statement yet, very strange!

looking for a beta code or maybe i am late=)

no one really knows, signup is till today, but when the keys go out there was no statement

Iam addicted after 2h playtime in tech beta, i want more :D

i really hope to get a chance this time. been in so many giveaways and never had a chance to try AoC.

hope warcry will give us a chance :D

The link in the email doesnt work for some reason. Wasn't sure where to post this problem.
