The latest Clan of Conan, the official Age of Conan Newsletter is now available, with looks at city building, player made structures, Conan comics, and more.

Since the last newsletter went live you might have noticed that we have started a new video series called The Hyborian Insider. In this series Product Manager Erling Ellingsen takes you “into the core of Age of Conan”, showing you just how certain features of the game work by utilizing wonderful blue screen technology and combining it with in-game footage. Check out the two previous editions released, and the new one released today!

Hyborian Insider #1: The Basics of Combat
Hyborian Insider #2: Player-versus-Player Gameplay

We've just added the 3rd Insider video podcast to our videos here at MMORPG.com.  Check it out below.

Hyborian Insider #3: Crafting and City Building

Glad to see they are finally getting to the good stuff... but I noticed something odd.

In the Newsletter they mention a Contest:

It says you could win a Beta spot, but it also says you have to enter by May 26th which is 6 days after release. Is this for a Beta that continues after release to test new patches and updates?

if anyone has a spare age of conan key lying around i will put it to good use.
