In Conan the players will encounter a dark, lush, violent and sinful universe, presented in fantastic graphics and stunning 7.1 surround audio. In a world filled with cruel gods, mythical creatures, lost civilizations and a struggling human race, the mighty barbarian has finally seized the throne as king of Aquilonia. But Conanns rule is on the brink of chaos, spiraling towards the doom of ancient evils.

During the Easter holidays, around 100,000 gamers have signed up for the upcoming Age of Conan beta test. 50,000 of those have signed up in the first 24 hours of opening the sign ups. Although it sounds like this is alot of people, one must wonder how many people have made multiple applications. Also, compared to the WoW beta sign-ups: 400,000 people signed up for WoW. Hopefully Funcom can pick out the true testers.
