Age of Conan (commonly abbreviated as AoC) is an upcoming fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Funcom for PC and the Xbox 360. Funcom has stated the release date is to be May 20, 2008, for the PC version with the Xbox 360 version to follow later in 2009. Age of Conan began internal beta testing in Summer 2006, and opened the beta registration process on April 3, 2007.
Hyborian Adventures is the first installment in the planned Age of Conan series that will include expansion packs hinted at on the official forums. The Age of Conan series is set in the Hyborian Age, a fantasy setting created by Robert E. Howard in 1932. Age of Conan itself takes place within the continent of the Hyborian kingdoms, a year after the events depicted in Howard's sole Conan novel, The Hour of the Dragon. Hyborian Adventures' release will celebrate the 76th anniversary of the Conan franchise.
Like other MMO games, there will be a subscription fee. The official site states that you can play all the way up to level 20 out of a possible 80 level cap (levels 1-20 being the single player portion of the game) completely free of charge. Each player gets 30 days free when they start out, and that free-trial period does not start until the player chooses to enter the MMO portion of the game. The price of an 'Age of Conan Playtime Card' is $29.99 for two months (or $14.99 a month) proving that the speculation that the fee is the 'MMO standard' was correct. There is no life-time subscription availible, except to the 1st place winner of a recent contest that includes a prize package including a autographed Collector's Edition copy of the game and a life-time subscription fee to the game. Everyone else will need to pay the standard $15 a month in order to play online.
There is also a slated Age of Conan Fantasy Battle Game in development by Mongoose Publishing and an Age of Conan Strategy Board Game published by Nexus Editrice.
