My heart just about stopped today when I read my email.  I got my first message from BestBuy stating that they are giving me a coupon for $10 off of my next purchase because my pre-order of Age of Conan Collector’s Edition was delayed leaving the warehouse.  Guess who my next email was from?  FunCom, [...]

I, like a fool, have been trying the ‘/claim’ command in game to try to get my pre-order items.  I ordered the Collector’s Edition from BestBuy and have yet to receive the actual box of the game.  I finally realized today that I won’t be able to use my in-game pre-order items with the claim [...]

Just in case some of you had the same issues as me, here’s the problem and what I did to fix it. Whenever I would click Play on the client menu, the screen would either stutter or just go black. Graphics in the game if I got past the black was just a mountain terrain [...]

I remember in pre-release videos and pictures seeing a full blown AT-AT (All Terrain Attack Transport) walking around.  This thing was HUGE!  In the video they had it walking the sands of Tatooine and for a size comparison they stuck a Krayt dragon next to it.  It dwarfed the dragon, which if you’ve played Star [...]
