From WikiAOC
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (AoC) is a fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Funcom for PC and the Xbox 360. With Funcom developers estimating the release date to be March 25, 2008, Age of Conan began internal beta testing in Summer 2006, and opened the beta registration process on April 3, 2007.
Hyborian Adventures is the first installment in the planned Age of Conan series that will include expansion packs hinted at on the official forums. The Age of Conan series is set in the Hyborian Age, a fantasy setting created by Robert E. Howard in 1932. Age of Conan itself takes place within the continent of the Hyborian kingdoms, a year after the events depicted in Howard's sole Conan novel, The Hour of the Dragon. Hyborian Adventures' release will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Conan franchise.
