After the incredible initial success for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, a whole world of MMO players are eagerly anticipating the future plans for one of the most popular online games ever released. |
|
Now, one of the heaviest and most Norwegian bands on the planet, Turbonegro, has partnered with videogame-maker Funcom to release a face-melting new track for the upcoming MMORPG Age of Conan. The track, "Destroy All Monsters," will be released exclusively on an extra disc packed in with the swords n' sorcery inspired title. |

The Hyborian Age was a dark and brutal time when blood flowed as freely as wine and chronic clothing shortages gave rise to a distinctly minimalist fashion sense. This epic fantasy setting was created by Robert E. Howard in the 1930s, with Conan the Barbarian at the center of it all. Howard's vivid stories have spawned numerous adaptations since then, from the popular comics of the 1970s to the Arnold Schwarzenegger films of the 1980s. |

Now that the Testlive forums are up and running, Age of Conan players have a chance to scope out coming patches before they go live. Right now, there's a new patch on the Testlive servers that's a possible candidate for release on the 16th of July. |

Age of Conan is firmly in the spotlight right now, as gamers across the world decide whether it lives up to the hype. It has passionate supporters and equally fervent detractors; product manager Erling Ellingsen had a good opportunity to put in some words of reassurance when he was interviewed over on incgamers. |
|
As part of the process of testing its new patches, Age of Conan recently unveiled its new Testlive Server, where players can try out the weekly patches in advance and provide feedback, thus helping find and crush bugs. |

There's plenty of doom and gloom discussion surrounding Funcom's Age of Conan. The hours played and reported by X-fire users plummeted since it hit desktops. Possibly the wackiest and most critical bug ever seen in an MMOG ever won't be fixed anytime soon. |
