Funcom and Eidos have announced some impressive figures powering the Age of Conan launch, and the two companies are happy to reveal that the Age of Conan Beta has passed 1 million sign-ups.
In addition to these incredible beta numbers, Funcom confirms that almost 800,000 gamers have signed up for the ‘Clan of Conan’ newsletter, and last week Funcom registered over 115,000 posts on the official forums, across four languages. This comes in addition to Age of Conan discussions on external forums and in other languages.
In 2008, Funcom has also seen a tremendous growth in the amount of people who visit the official Age of Conan websites. Since January 2008, Funcom has registered more than 5 million unique visitors, from more than 200 countries. Last week alone, over 725,000 unique visitors came to the Age of Conan sites.
To celebrate the amazing community figures surrounding Age of Conan, Funcom and Eidos unveiled a brand new trailer this morning aptly called ‘Femme Fatale’ which you can view here.

Wow that trailer is really awesome!
Yeah it is! Gotta love the blood – it just would not pay homage to the name of Conan without it.
