It is announced by Funcom, Eidos and IGN that Open Beta for Age of Conan will start on May 1th. The Open Beta will be hosted exclusively by IGN’s popular game download site, FilePlanet.com, as well as being offered through partner IGN sites such as Gamespy.com, Tentonhammer.com and Warcry.com. The application pages at FilePlanet.com are now open for registrations, and gamers from across the world can sign up. As 50,000 gamers prepare their Hyborian assault, rivers of blood are about to flow, and it’s exclusively available through FilePlanet and IGN partner sites.

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the Norwegian computer, video game developer company Funcom for PCs. Players need to buy AOC gold to finish their journey in game, as well as Age of Conan Powerleveling.

The Game Directoy on Age of Conan, Gaute Godager, said they actually wanted to move away fron the standards of the MMO genre when they started to develop Age of Conan few years ago. Because of the final stress testing, it is the perfect opportunity for them to team up with the Beta Masters at IGN. They simply couldn’t ask for a better partner for this crucial stage of their Beta

Jamie Berger, Senior Vice President of Consumer Products at IGN, thinks it is the best choice to cooperate with Funcom and Eidos on Open Beta. The audience of IGN and FilePlanet always told them that Age of Conan is one of their most anticipated games of the years. And the Funcom team has developed a truly unique, visceral gaming experience that players will have to see to believe.

The primary function of the Open Beta is to stress test Age of Conan prior to launch. This means that Funcom will not make the entire game available to the Open Beta testers, and a level 13 cap will be applied. The Beta experience will still give hours and hours of entertainment, and complete class and culture variety, while at the same time giving Funcom the needed focus for an Open Beta.

You are required to be a FilePlanet member in order to sign up for the Open Beta. Preloading of the client will start prior to the launch of the Open Beta, and applicants will receive more information should they receive a beta key. The Open Beta will start on the 1st of May at 1500 GMT / 0900 EST.

All of this just enables players experience the unique feeling in Age of Conan. Wish you enjoy it!
