Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Beta testing begins

  

By Crom! The MMORPG Age of Conan (PC and 360) by Funcom and Eidos has finally entered its beta stage. This means that players can now apply, and hopefully, be chosen to play the game in either one or both of the game’s beta stages.

Gaute Godager, founder of Funcom and Game Director on Age of Conan, has spoken about the beta launch.

We have been waiting for this day since we started development on Age of Conan, and it will be an epic moment as we see large waves of players charging into Hyboria. As we get ready to unleash the most brutal MMO ever created we will let an increasing amount of players test our creation. With extended Beta testing for months to come we can hone and polish based on large-scale feedback, allowing us to fulfill the potential of the game.

The beta test process has been divided into two parts – the General Beta and the Technical Beta. General Beta includes gameplay testing while the Technical Beta focuses on other aspects such as stress testing. If you are over 18, you can choose to join one or both. It is also stated in the application form that being selected in one part doesn’t mean that you will be chosen for the other.

Applying to the Beta test requires answering some questions and submitting your DxDiag.txt (instructions on how to get this can be found on the beta application form). It should be noted that those who have been accepted in the beta testing will have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. If you’ve been waiting for the game, now would be a perfect time for you to go and sign up for this (the Read link leads you to the application page). If you’d rather wait for the full release, the game is set to be out this October 30 (for PC).
