IGN's AoC Open Beta starts today at 9AM EST. Let's hope everything goes well!

A note to that testing, and to those watching info from any testers, keep in mind that this client is 32bit only and does not include DX10.

There is probably some sort of monitoring software in the background so performance may vary. The server will probably be laggy as hell. And the max level is 13 only. I wouldn't judge classes too harshly on someone's level 13 review. :)

The Conclave is officially venturing into Age of Conan as a guild.

It's been quite some time (read: years) that we've felt a game is exactly right for this guild, but it seems that two of the newest are -- those being Age of Conan and Warhammer Online.

Warhammer's not out until fall, while Conan is out in a month. Looking at available information, it seems Conan will be WELL worth our time, and so we will build our army there.

It seems they are being given away in chunks, so signup for the email notification and check frequently if you want in!

Just so everyone is clear, if you Pre-Order the game @ the following locations, you get the specified bonus item (ie, level 40 mounts). These do not have anything to do with Collector's or Standard Editions (except maybe some online stuff).
