in the Age of Conan Open Beta Funcom would like to point out that the primary function of the Open Beta is to stress test Age of Conan prior to launch. This means that Funcom will not make the entire game available to the Open Beta testers, and a level 13 cap will be applied. The Beta experience will still give hours and hours of entertainment, and complete class and culture variety, while at the same time giving Funcom the needed focus for an Open Beta. ¡°The IGN and FilePlanet audience has consistently told us that Age of Conan is one of their most anticipated games of the year, and we are very pleased to partner with Funcom and Eidos on the Open Beta,¡± says Senior Vice President of Consumer Products at IGN, Jamie Berger. ¡°The Funcom team has developed a truly unique, visceral gaming experience that players will have to see to believe.¡±
