Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventure beta draws 100,000 testers |
Ó
By Crom! 100,000 players have already signed up to beta test Funcom's Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures MMO game for PCs. It's no surprise considering that 50,000 players signed up within 24 hours of the online game's beta test announcement.
Gaute Godager, founder of Funcom and Game Director, is very proud about the game and excited about how many people wanted to be part of the beta test.
WeÂ’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. The team is very excited about the number of gamers who have signed up for the Beta so far, and we canÂ’t wait to see them charging into the brutal battlefields of Hyboria!
In our previous coverage of this event, we discussed the sign-up procedure for the game. The sign-up process that Funcom implemented was to ensure that it only allowed players who were dedicated to the testing of the game. It's also said that as the game's launch date approaches, further moves to expand the base of beta testers will be implemented.
From what's been announced, the game already has a large base of beta testers. Trond Arne Aas, CEO of Funcom, has commented on this huge turn out.
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. 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.
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is slated to be released on October 30. The game has won the "Best MMO of E3" award from IGN, GameSpot, GameSpy, and Yahoo. In addition to this, it is being used as a showcase DirectX 10 title for nVidia. It's understandable that some consider this game to be one of the most anticipated MMORPGs of the year.
