Age of Conan invigorates massive multiplayer game market

Conan's problems, however, are many and varied. Certain statistics on equipment are not counted correctly, if at all; the Assassin, Necromancer and Bear Shaman classes are underpowered, and a lack of high-level content will leave hardcore players counting their copper, rather than embarking on daring adventures.

100,000 sign up to Age of Conan beta

Age of Conan: Hyborian adventures is a new MMORPG, set in the Robert E. Howard's epic fantasy world, which is due out later in the year on PC and in 2008 on Xbox 360. Any fears that Funcom and publisher Eidos may have had about their title being overlooked by gamers has just been relieved; it has been announced that more than 100,000 gamers put themselves forward for the beta over the course of the weekend, with 50,000 signing up in the first 24 hours.

In fact, a spokesman of the firm said that a patch correcting the problem has already been sent out to players and they are hoping that things would come back to normal now.

Age of Conan still camping the top

This is good news for Funcom and Eidos, though it is doubtful that AoC's popularity is swaying competitors like Blizzard and EA. With the new World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, coming out later this year, the PC gaming world is seeing quite a bit of action in 2008.
