With the server list now announced, we've added all the known servers for the Early Access, and as more are added we'll of course create forums for them in their appropriate regional categories (separated by US and EU). You can find the entire server list here, or you can access US-based servers here, and EU-based servers here. Any servers listed as "FFA PvP" follow the same rules as the PvP Discussion Forum, so please be sure to read up on them. We'll be posting revised rules specific to the FFA PvP Servers soon, and they'll be available via sticky on each of those server forums.

Additionally, we've added a new forum called The Thirsty Dog Inn -- created specifically for lore and roleplay discussion -- and removed the "Races" forums. Any posts previously found in the "Races" forums (Aquilonian, Cimmerian, Stygian) can now be found in The Thirsty Dog Inn.

We'll continue to modify the forums based on feedback and the community's needs, so if you have ideas for ways we can improve the forum structure, introduce new forums, etc. then please pay a visit to the Site Feedback forum and let us know what's on your mind.

EDIT: We've also opened up our AoCSource IRC channel. You can find us at irc.gamesurge.net in the channel #aocsource.

If you haven't signed up for an account on GameSurge yet, head over to their website and sign up. Registering an IRC nickname ensures that only you can use that nickname.

Here is the latest Official Conan News direct from the Official Site.

The gates to Age of Conan open in just a few days from now and legions of adventurers can hardly wait to set foot on Hyborian soil. Many want to chose their future home (also known as ‘Server’) beforehand and we know the list below has been eagerly awaited.

Early Access Sold Out

According to spanishfly255, the Early Access for Age of Conan is now sold out -- meaning if you have a Pre-order code sitting around unused, you won't be able to gain access to the game until May 20th, rather than the previously announced May 17th. You'll still be able to use your code for all of the pre-order bonuses, just no Early Access. Of course, if you've already signed up then you will be able to access the game on the 17th when the servers go live.

This was also confirmed on the official forums, so if you're hesitant to believe this news, head over to check it out.

Guide Contributors Needed!

Seril has created a thread over in the Guides section to keep track of everyone creating guides. It's beginning to look like a nice list, but more contributions are needed! If you're interested in creating a guide for Age of Conan, please head over and let Seril know.

Your name will be added next to the associated guide type, and once your guide is done, the thread will be updated to contain a link to the guide.

Remembering Shadowbane's Siege War Journals

Hades-LotD started a great thread looking back at the Shadowbane Siege War Journals. Now the question this brings to mind is: Will Funcom do something similar? Regardless, we'd love to do something like this, so if any guilds are interested in contributing their journals of city sieges once the game goes live, send me a private message and we can begin planning how often this will occur, what all will be listed, where, etc.

Below is a video from the Age of Conan Launch Party thrown in Oslo, Norway recently by Funcom. It shows off City Building, Spellweaving, a bit about Combos, and Raids. Credit goes to Visper, who captured the video on his cellphone!
