Review of the Age of Conan Collector’s Edition

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

I pre-ordered the Age of Conan Collector’s Edition a LONG time ago. I really can’t recall when I had ordered it (in January?) although I’d like to pass on that information as I know that some people are trying to figure out why they didn’t receive one. Eitherway, I ordered from Gamestop, and I received mine on May 16th, 2008 (the day prior to the Early Release going live). Although I just opened it up yesterday because I found out (in the EA) that my notebook just will not play this wonderful game!

Review: Age of Conan pre-order item, excerpted edition of Conan book

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

I received my pre-ordered copy of the Collector’s Edition Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures a few days ago now. I ordered from Gamestop, and shipped separately, I received a small hard-cover book that is an excerpted version of Roy Thomas’ 162 page book titled “Conan: The Ultimate Guide to the World’s Most Savage Barbarian“.

I got around to reading though this tonight, it’s a farily quick read at 64 pages total. The graphics are nice and colorful with content from various sources in the Conan pulp lineage.

After an introduction, each chapter covers sequential ’stages’ of Conan’s life. Each chapter starts with 2 pages of background summary, which I’ve included some pics of. Then each chapter typically covers two or four more pages of some random high points within this stage of the Conan saga.

Age of Conan PC Gamer In Game Item: Totem of the Origins

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

The July 2008 Edition of PC Gamer (issue #176) has been released. I found my copy at Borders down the street. In this issue, you can find a review of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, which was released on May 20th, but more importantly, a code for the in game item “Totem of the Origins”.

I found my copy wrapped up on the shelf along with some unwrapped copies. I’m thinking some people could have been getting into these and copying down the codes; so I certainly chose an un-tampered copy. On the front, there is the usual Conan graphic that we’ve been seeing on a lot of the released material. You can see Conan’s bloody sword cutting through the PC GAMER logo; kinda cool. As well, you see an ad at the top announcing the “Free Age of Conan In-Game Item Only in PC Gamer! Unique Code Printed Inside”.

Gates to Hyboria Opened – Early Release Edition

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Early Release began today for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. After an initial 3 hour delay (from a start time of Noon CST to 3pm CST), the following opening message appeared:

By Crom! By Mitra! By Set! The day is here!

I bid you Welcome to Hyboria!

For 5 years, we, the galley slaves of Funcom, have toiled on the oar for your future pleasure. For 5 years we have felt the merry whip inscribe the letters “Conan” on our backs, mixing sweat with blood, reminding us to pull harder. Now we have at last reached the shore. The barge now transformed into a luxury ship and we bid you welcome on board. Not as slaves, naturally, but as captains, esteemed passenger or pilots.

The point is – from now on, Hyboria is yours as much as ours. We will build this world with you. We hope you will fall as much in love with it, as we have. Know though, that we might experience a bit of rough sea the first days. This is the nature of launches… Let me take this moment to apologize for any bumpiness. Smoother waters are sighted ahead!

Welcome to Hyboria, welcome home!

Yours truly,

Gaute Godager
Game Director,Age of Conan
