Funcom is now taking accepting applications to join the beta test for Age of Conan.  This will be your first chance to check out the new MMO and fight creatres like the mysterious CTD monster and battle the menaces of the "It's not finished zone".  Snark aside the game seems to be shaping up pretty well and I know Sean and Shawn has semi-favorable things to say about the game after E3 this year.
