Age of Conan Hits 100,000 Beta Testers

More than 100,000 people signed up to help beta test the upcoming Hyborian massively multiplayer online game Age of Conan over the Easter weekend.

Crap! I totally forgot to sign-up. And I need my heart broken but quick.

"We're naturally very pleased to see that so many dedicated gamers are signing up for the 'Age of Conan' Beta at such a rapid pace," says Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom. "With more than 100,000 gamers signed up in such a short time-frame our confidence in the game's potential and its ability to be a major contender in the MMO genre continues to be strengthened."

"We've been developing this incredible world for years now and today more than 150 people are working hard on achieving the ambitious goals we set out for the game," says Gaute Godager, founder of Funcom and Game Director on 'Age of Conan'. "The team is very excited about the number of gamers who have signed up for the Beta so far, and we can't wait to see them charging into the brutal battlefields of Hyboria!"

I'm planning on hopping over to the sign-up site just as soon as I finish writing this. I also plan on being royally let down by the game because, well, that's happened with every MMO I've played in the past year or so. Brian Crecente
