age of conan GOLD

Earlier this week, we gave you aoc gold the screenshots we gave to the press at CES. Today, we present some screenshots we haven’t given to anyone but you, so you can see how the game is coming along.

These Screenshots were taken on the beta servers running the current beta build so they’re as current as you get without bribing a developer.

We hope you enjoy.

We also announced the Collector’s Edition this week, so if you missed that, the goodies will be:

* Ring of Acheron (Exclusive In-Game Item) – The Ring of Acheron is an exclusive in-game item which will only ever be available in the Collectors Edition. Stemming from the ancient civilization of Acheron, the ring offers special XP and stamina enhancements for players, making it a powerful companion on the brutal journey through Hyboria.

* Hand-Finished Collectors Edition Box – A true piece of art, the metalay-embossed box comes with the royal emblem of King Conan and a quality finish. Naturally it comes in a larger-than-life box, with inlay page and individually numbered holographic sticker.

* Hyborian World Leather Map – Made with a unique finish and designed by celebrated cartographer Clayton Bunce, this 14″ x 20″ leather map gives players a authentic overview of the vast Hyborian age of conan gold world.

* Unique Bonus DVD – This bonus DVD is filled to the brim with visual entertainment, and includes trailers, a greeting from the Game Director, behind-the-scenes videos, developer diaries and artwork.

* Official Age of Conan Soundtrack – The official game soundtrack CD features a hand-picked selection of the best songs from the game. Composed by Knut Avenstroup Haugen, the official Age of Conan soundtrack delivers an incredible and powerful musical journey.

* Age of Conan Art Book – With hundreds of art pieces hand-picked by the Art Director, this 128-page book delivers a stunning visual experience. Featuring never-before-seen art pieces, it fully depicts the incredible amounts of art which went into the creation of the savage world of Hyboria

* The Drinking Cape (Bonus In-game Item) – As fitting for a mature MMO game, the Drinking Cape gives you access to free drinks in all the taverns of Hyboria. This dream-come-true outfit will never be available after the game launches, and with it you can impress friends down the road by proving your status as a pioneer player.

* Five Free Guest Passes – Online games are all about having fun with your friends, and only in the Collectors Edition will you get five special guest passes to Hyboria. With the guest pass you can invite five selected friends, allowing them to play together with you, at no cost, for a limited time period.

And as another bit of news, next week we will be hosting another event here at our offices in Oslo with some of the major websites, as well as our distinguished contest winner. We’ve braced the developers for the influx of questions and have put together a program to both enlighten and entertain.
