The unique PvP weekend marks an escalation in the stress testing for Age of Conan, and aspiring barbarians can now sign up on GameSpot's website. The 15,000 lucky winners will be then contacted by email on Wednesday the 16th of April, and then they can then start downloading the game. The servers open at 4 p.m. EST Friday the 18th of April and close at 4 p.m. EST on Sunday the 20th of April. Funcom would like to point out that the PvP weekend is still part of the beta testing process, and that it is a part of the planned stress test escalations towards launch. As such, it is not fully representative of the final product, and players are asked to treat it accordingly. Stress traffic issues may occur.

To make the weekend even more interesting Eidos and Funcom are also including the engaging Age of Conan character creation system, allowing players to create avatars with strong personalities. All 12 classes in the game, including the barbarian, can be picked and tested, with Funcom transforming each character into a fully specced, level 20 death machine. In PvP lobbies players can then chat and socialize, prior to entering PvP matches. Participants are urged to test different classes and offer any feedback on the forums. There will also be forums on GameSpot.com where people can talk about the event, and Funcom staff will be present to gather feedback. |

For those who just can't get enough PvP, Age of Conan features PvP-flagged servers, with rules allowing widespread PvP, and PvP-RP servers, which not only allow for lots and lots of PvP, but also feature a robust ruleset encouraging roleplaying and staying in-character. |

There are easy and hard ways to make gold of Age of Conan, firstly, you can go on the net and buy gold direct form the chinese farmers for 12-15 a piece and make them very rich in the process OR you can learn how to farm gold for yourself and then sell it to the traders that can make you very rich and give you virtual control of your server. |
If you are tired of spending hours on end trying to make gold then you'll be relieved to know that there is a guide that can show you where to go, how to make , and what characters to get to make the most you can in Age of Conan. |
Age of Conan is the latest MMORPG game thats hit the store and is currently enjoying phenomonal success. Like World of Warcraft in order to progress and make your character or hero stronger you must accumulate Gold to buy your items or weapons. This process can be long and tedious and sometimes downright frustrating. |
I know more than a few friends who have gone through the hassle of buying gold from an overseas seller, and it took them almost 7 days just to get 10 pieces of gold, and it cost them over $60. I have even heard horror stories of gamers being suckered into buying gold from scammers, paying lots of money, and then never even getting anything in return. The scammers just took the money and ran. There is nothing that you can do about it either because selling gold is not really a legit form of business! |
AOC otherwise known as the Age of Conan is without doubt the biggest MMORPG game currently online. There have been over 1 million units of this game sold worldwide and the fever has not subsided with thousands of copies being sold daily and much like WOW, people soon discovered that the people who controlled the gold had a lot of influence in the game. |
While most of it seems to be coming along with good intentions, the info that I have on the upcoming PvP risk/reward system may cause more problems then it fixes. Basically a "fugitive" system will be in place. This system will give people that Gank players many levels lower them some penalty points. After you obtain so many penalty points, other players will have an incentive to kill you. What is the incentive? How about one of your equipped items! |
