The FilePlanet subscribers exclusive Open Beta Keys are now being handed out! If you are a FilePlanet subscriber (not just Founders) then head over to FP and get yourself a key! Apparently it’s first come first server and keys will go out in waves.
Graev and I both grabbed ourselves a key and we’re ready for the Beta to begin May 1st! This should be a great opportunity to test out the classes in PvE and get a feel for the overall game. For a price of $15.95 we get to play from May 1st until sometime near May 17th (we hope) and take advantage of other things on FP. It’s not the best deal out there, but it beats being bored.
Good luck all.
NOTE: IGN Insider does not work. I have an Insider account and I was unable to obtain a key until I signed up for FilePlanet. The cheapest price you’re going to pay is the quarterly for $15.95 (I think… that’s the cheapest it offered me). Get your key, cancel your account.
Note to the Note: Apparently there were “other offers” you could take advantage of by clicking “no thanks” to the ones that popped up. Apparently among those offers you will find a $6’ish monthly fee. I guess I missed that well placed “no thanks”… you win this round FilePlanet.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Our AoC Gallery link is up on the left side under ‘Content’. When open beta starts we’ll be recording more videos and beefing up our screenshot collection (Pending NDA).
See you there May 1st!
Bashing in heads and all that stuff.
Sounds good to me. 😈
Downloading now. 🙂
I’m getting reports that they are out of keys for this first wave. I hope everyone got a chance to sign up.
HAH! I just got the notification email from FilePlanet telling me that I can sign up for a key. A little late there FP… good thing I’ve been refreshing all day.
Luckily I got my key but am having problems registering. Know that funny colored security verification box. Well, its obvious what the word is in the box, I type it, but it doesn’t accept what I key in. Gonna try it later though.
Oh, and Keen, you guys gonna post which server and names you guys sign up as on May 1st?
Yep
What time did they open for registering for the first round? Just wondering.
You can get the subscription for $7.90 if you click the “no thanks” on the bottom right of the sign up screen. It takes you to the monthly price.
Heh, I just updated the post to include that Lacey. I learned of that offer a few minutes ago. *shakes fist* Oh well. Maybe I’ll find something I want on FilePlanet over the next few months.
@Mallika: Sometime around Noon PST.
deff just got my fileplanet account. Tommarow i hope will be a good day (._.) hopeing to see u guyz in the battle
Thanks Keen. I missed it by 3.5 hours. 😛
Well I’m not a member and leaving on business anyway; looking forward to reading your reviews & watching some vids; great stuff!
Man, I’ve been bamboozled! I got trapped into the $15 quarterly as well. Nice job to all those who beat the system and got the $8 fee!
Waiting on round 2… was still at work when round 1 released…. damn you work!
iv been waiting on round 2 for 3 hrs lol been 2 hrs sence it said coming soon =/ looks like its gonna be along night lol camping this web site is no easy task
Grats on the key Keen! I got home from work tonight and of course the first wave was gone (earlier in the day I surmised). I refreshed the page for over 2 hours…finally took a five minute break, and of course that’s when the second wave went active haha.
So, I downloaded their Comrade instant messaging program as several people had success with that. I’m hoping to get a key in the next few days, as long as they can release them after I’m home from work! 🙂
Hopefully I’ll see you in beta.
anyone know what time they will release the next wave??
Is it possible to wait until I get a chance on a key before I sign up for Fileplanet or is it better to sign up right now? I don’t want to throw them my hard earned money and maybe still get no key.
well you cant get a key unless you subscribe, there is the possibilty that you won’t get a key if you subscribe. I would just pay the 8 dollar one and then cancel if you dont get on or after you get the key. to get the 8 dollar offer hit the NO THANKS button at the bottom of the page.
i need a key!!
I thought the open beta is going to have a level 13 cap… Is this correct? So i really dont see the point in joining the open beta for 2 weeks?
I think getting to play some of this game is worth it.
Grats all who got a key so far, can i remind everyone that it is beta and not final release, so lets not be too harsh, or critical even though its close to final release, cheers GLA
Batch 1 for 24th COMING SOON guyz get ready for the battle
just got my key see u guyz may first GL to all others
I was able to get a key but there’s at least 1 guy from our forums who missed the first and second, “waves.” Did the second wave go out in under 5 minutes like I’m hearing?
thought it was 3 mins last night at 11 easternish
anybody have a guess as to when the next batch of keys will come out today
id have to guess it would be tonight at 11ish like it was for the 23rd nut thats just a guess snag up comrade program an just leave it on they send u a msg an boom click link an there u go. glta
hey there is going to be a third batch today
Was the 1st Wave of the 23rd and 1st Wave of the 24th @ the same time? I need AOC! 😛
I don’t know I cant get an answer
First wave on the 23rd was at around Noon PST. I have no clue when the other waves were/are/or when they are going to be. Your best bet is to sit there with a paid FilePlanet subscription and refresh the site over and over and over. That’s how I got mine and my bro got his.
It sucks, but it’s the best way.
Managed to get my key yesterday (from the first wave, was probarly one of the first people thanks to comarade).
Highly recommended you install this program if you want to obtain a key.
See you in the bloody hyboria on the first of may 😉
God the next one should be coming soon…
Nothing like doing this @ work lmao
Ok, now I know this is a horribly dumb question, but does the page go active for a short time and that is how you sign up? I am a subscriber, I’ve got that part down, and I spent last night just refreshig the page and such, but there was never anything to click on/signup with. Am I retarded? Very possibly.
http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/ageofconan/beta/temp_closed.aspx
That should be the link you need…
Troy i am wondering the same thing
Coming Soon 😛
Is coming soon meaning the signups for new keys or that the previous signups will be receiving emails with keys?
It means the next wave of Keys will be coming soon to compete for so to speak…
1st come 1st served is how they are doing it.
So pretty much 1st ones to the link win…
Thanks, then ill continue to refresh until im in or fall asleep.
GO GO GO!
I Got MINE!!!
get in there now ascension
cool, same, gratz
they are out but i dont know if i got one
update the screen, has a big button to signup
i hit the link and put in my information but i dont know if i got one, do you usually get an email right away or does it say if you recieved one on the site.
hmmm, i signed up, had to enter my age again, got a key they told me not to lose, then directed me to the server mirror page for downloading.
I did the same thing but it directed me to the page. I didnt get anything about a key.
Damn….
I also got an email with the same info.
Comrade seemed to be about 1 minute behind the actual page update, maybe best to note the time and basically start spamming refreshed when the coming soon is displayed next to the batch info.
It was almost exactly 1 hour after that it allowed for signups, hope the helps….
excuse my grammar, 5:14 here in Japan, thank god its a holiday tomorrow.
Well, because my life is a damn sitcom I went to take a dump and the keys came and went.
Sorry to hear Troy…
I was scared about that happening to me, I am at work and got called into the office while the “Coming Soon” was up, I never sprinted out of an office so quickly…
And as Goosneck said, Comrade does notify you, but it is about a minute off, and the keys were only good for about 2 mins so, best off spamming F5 about 30Mins after seeing “coming soon”
Yep, once you see “coming soon” start refreshing every 30 seconds heh.
does anybody how long in between each batch of keys?
Last time was like 6hrs…
Hot damn Keen… that AoC content did some good for your commenting sections. Nicely done!
Hot damn she gonna be a late 3rd wave EST
hopefully its real soon…it should be in the next hour or so… I hope
Sorry im a bit confused, have mercy on me if this is a dumb question, If it says confirmed next to the batch does that mean they’re done handing out keys for the day?
TBD – We are monitoring load to determine how many key releases we can have in the day
Confirmed – A key release has been confirmed for that day
Coming Soon – Key release is within 2 hours
Distributed – That batch has been depleted

COMING SOON!!
GO GO GO
Yes 13 Hrs waiting has paid off and i got mine.
You get yours Rick?
Just to update all of you out there who think fondly of me, which honestly is no one, I got my key and I’ll see all of you lucky bastards May 1st. On a lighter note I think I am going to do a series of short-short stories in the Conan universe just for fun. I will probably be posting them on Curse.com, but I am curious if anyone else wants to write anything, you know sort of match me story for story? It adds motivation to keep me writing. If anyone wants to join in the story writing fun e-mail me at [email protected] and we can put some cool Robert E. Howard-esque stories together.
WAY TO GO TROY!
Not stuck on the crapper this time, Gratz buddy lol
I just wrote a post with a few tips / things to keep in mind if you’re one of those watching the FP beta page like a hawk:
http://www.conjuringwords.com/tips-on-getting-a-fileplanet-open-beta-key-for-age-of-conan/
It just reiterates some important points — it’s not a magical cure that will get you a key, but from all the complaints and even misinformation regarding the exact URL you’re supposed to reload, I thought it might be informative for some people.
Good luck to everyone.
yeah chance i got mine and then my internet crashed right after, lucky me 🙂
Haha thanks Ascension! And hell, I’ll lay off the taco bell for a while… Remember kids, Taco Bell, though delicious, can make you miss those magic moments!!!!!
has anyone downloaded the Fileplanet AoC client and started it up? when it opens up the patcher i get a fatel error saying theres a patching fetching problem… just wondering if its just me or if thats supose to be normal
You get the error because the patching servers are not online yet.
I supose then that my friend who is playing the weekend 3 hour beta they been doing uses a different patching server *shrugs* she can still update her AoC game and log in even if she cant play…
Don’t know if this has been mentioned or not but according to gamespy, “While every race and class is available in the beta version of Age of Conan, players will be level-capped at 13…”
Just thought I’d let you know.
Do you know at what time it will start?
no idead :/ i’m waiting still.. have you gotten in Gian ?
no idea :/ i’m waiting still.. have you gotten in Gian ?
Still I’m not in. The login says “Authentication failure”
I believe they delayed the servers opening until 12:00pm (Noon) PST.
I’m pretty sure its 9:00
Nothing here yet. O_o
It’s half hour past launch.
🙁
