So you want to be a barbarian?

So you want to be a barbarian?

Posted by James on Thursday, 12th April 2007 @ 1:49PM

You can now register to take part in the beta test for the upcoming MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. Check out the official website for all the info.

Age of Conan is currently due for release in September and the early buzz has been pretty positive.

"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 Conan’s rule is on the brink of chaos, spiraling towards the doom of ancient evils. In this twisted fantasy world, dark magic and brutal combat lurk around every corner, and each man and woman must carve their own unique destiny under Conan’s reign. In the true vision of Robert E. Howard’s dark universe it’s now time for you to become a messenger of death."
