Age of Conan Characters

Age of Conan goes live on May 20 in all of its Mature-rated, graphics-intensive, literary-high-minded glory, but beta testers have been blabbing about the game for weeks now. Far be it from us to keep our mouths shut when everyone else is yakking - we played the first 20 levels of the beta, including a straight shot through the game’s single-player quests. Incidentally, if you'd like to get in on the beta test yourself, head over toour competition. You could win a key to let you into the pre-launch game.
