A rumor recently began regarding the possibility of in-game ad support for Funcom's upcoming Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC, Xbox 360) title. However, the developers sorted out this issue by explaining that in-game ads will not be implemented in the actual game.

Good news to faithful fans of Funcom's upcoming MMORPG, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC, Xbox 360). X-Play has just announced that the game has been able to top the list of PC game sales for March.

In a recent interview with website Ten Ton Hammer, Funcom game designer Evan Michaels spoke about one of the more recent classes introduced to the game: The Tempest of Set.

Curiosity and wonder go together, especially when a game is going to make its way to store shelves. Luckily, fans of Funcom's upcoming Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures on PC and Xbox 360, a new FAQ has just been released to fill in those who are eager to engage themselves with barbarian-style fun.

The Good Book says to "ask and ye shall receive." Funcom is asking MMORPG players to do exactly that with Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (PC, Xbox 360). The reason? The developer is giving away open beta keys, so if you're interested, all you have to do is submit a beta prayer in order to become a beta player.

Apparently, there are some things even a mighty barbarian king can't conquer. Sad as it may sound, the biggest obstacle hindering Conan's MMO debut on the next-gen console is nothing more than a simple control pad.

The next major patch hits Age of Conan's live servers today. The patch notes are lengthy, chocked full of details on all of the quest, item, UI and NPC fixes that made it in. Necromancers, Dark Templars and Heralds of Xotli took the lion's share of class tweaks, although Priests of Mitra, Rangers, Assassins and Barbarians also had some smaller changes.

Ellingsen mentioned that a new dungeon instance called "House of Crom." He didn't give any information about it apart from the name, although Keen's prose suggested that he was unusually excited about it. We'd like to think that this House of Crom is, in fact, the actual house of the deity Crom, atop a monstrous mountain.

Age of Conan players will be feeling a bit of deja vu today. As was the case last week, today's scheduled patch is not in a suitable state to go live.

Assistant Art Director Grant Regan for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures reveals that the locations in Hyboria are not merely represented by the world design, but are identified as well by the design of the weapons and armor that the opposing forces will use.
