Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Beta News

Funcom has updated their official Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures community website with news related to the game’s ongoing beta test.

As to the beta, there was a huge new patch (several gigabytes) just a few days ago that added tons of new content and improvements to the game. We’d say more, but that would break our NDA and we’d be thrown out of our own beta. 😉

To celebrate, we’ve done two things.

First, we sent out a wave of several thousand beta invites earlier this week. This takes care of the first round of forum veterans that had not yet received their beta invite, as well as other upstanding (or lucky) individuals. These join the thousands already careening around Hyboria killing Picts, exploring dark dungeons, and sending us lots of bug reports.

We hope you enjoy, guys.

Secondly, this weekend, we’ll be doing a PvP test with the Capture the Flag minigame you may have seen demonstrated at Dragoncon and various other shows. It will be one of our first big external PvP tests, so naturally, we’re eagerly anticipating all the feedback on the game itself, as well as valuable information on the performance and abilities of the hardware.

And while this may be the first, it certainly won’t be the last. We’re planning a lot of good stuff coming up in January and since the large-scale PvP will need a large number of players to test it, well.

But perhaps I say too much. 😉

Anyone playing in this beta?
