The Age of Conan official site has been updated with their regular Friday Feature, bring tidings of Beta and tests of the Capture the Flag PvP mini-game, improvements to the official site including an RSS feed and a Community Survey to harness Conan fan's "almost unnatural love for taking surveys."

As to the beta, there was a huge new patch (several gigabytes) just a few days ago that added tons of new content and improvements to the game. We'd say more, but that would break our NDA and we'd be thrown out of our own beta. ;)

To celebrate, we've done two things.

First, we sent out a wave of several thousand beta invites earlier this week.

These join the thousands already careening around Hyboria killing Picts, exploring dark dungeons, and sending us lots of bug reports.
