Age of Conan Pre Subscription

Age of Conan Tries to Remedy Low Numbers

If you’re a former subscriber to Age of Conan, than you’re sure to have heard about Funcom’s latest drive to get you back into the game. While Age of Conan may have been the best selling MMORPG release of 2008, it failed to meet expectations and even worse was the player retention. Make no mistake, Funcom knows how to recover a slow start which is proven from the rebound of Anarchy Online. The Age of Conan that launched is certainlty different from today's version, which has been helped by the addition of Game Director Craig Morrison and several new game overhauls. Of course some bill this as a desparate attempt to lure in gamers by basically giving it away, but the truth is that this something that makes sense if you want to bring back players that may not have enjoyed the initial version of the game.

For those that may be sceptical about paying for a game they had written off, the developer is giving all previous subscribers two weeks of free game play for those that come back within the month of November, and double experience during those two weeks; additionally, if these players re-subscribe, Funcom has prepared a bunch of stacking goodies to sink your teeth into:

·    One month subscription: seven additional days.
·    Three month subscription: guaranteed spot in open beta for The Secret World.
·    Six month subscription: receive an in-game level 40 helmet with a 10 percent XP modifier.
·    Twelve month subscription: receive a free copy of the Rise of the Godslayer expansion.

This aggressive move by Funcom shows their confidence that AOC has changed dramatically since launch. While the one month bonus doesn’t seem amazing, the three, six, and twelve month bonuses are sure tempting; and remember, these are stacking bonuses, so the longer the subscription the sweeter the deal.
