It is meant to be out May 20th, not long away at all ... but until you see "Age of Conan goes gold!" you shouldn't plan your month around it.
Also the beta may be a different build to what they are actually upto, which is usually a couple of months worth of work ahead.

Sadly I recall some of the more loyalist testers on Hellgate:London thinking and saying the same thing, but sadly what we were testing was the same turkey served to us when the game went live.
Obviously you expect a beta to have some broken eggs as its all about testing, but a friend on the beta is slightly astonished their talking a May release and he's done numerous beta's for other games so I tend to take what he says as pretty accurate.
Is this really going to be out in a few months , its a mess at the moment , needs at least another year, but what do I know
I agree with that, was quite excited by this game then played the beta for abit and it's gone down in my estimations.
at least they are listening to the testers which makes a change, ive done a lot of testing for companies, and the team working on AoC are listening which is good, lots of patches with big changes and each time its improving the game a lot, i would have to agree and say may is gonna be a squeeze, would be a shame if they released an unfinished product and lost a lot of people interesting in the game. but we shall see i guess
There is never, ever a top secret magic build that the company is keeping to themselves. Ever.

True... to an extent. There is no one miracle build that the devs are on, but there are many different individual projects just waiting to be put together onto one test server. It amounts to the same thing.
Yeah, actually, there is. I didn't say it was top secret or magic... just they will have a build featuring later versions of code than what you have in the beta. There isn't any part of that which means specific bugs you found in the beta have or haven't been fixed.
The most worrying thing about Age of Conan and going release in late may, isnt that beta might have different versions of code....its that there are entire game concepts which are not even in beta yet to be tested. When you have whole game systems that arent in testing yet, and when those systems are the very game features you have been touting in every PR interview as your games special features....thats the worrying part.
IMO, Age of Conan could be a great MMO... IF they delay and sort it. Unfortunately, they wont delay, and its that refusal to delay that makes me think that the various forums will make for very interesting reading in the first week or two as realization dawns on people.

Yeah agree with Tomb there so much not in that I cant believe that its gonna be ready in a few months . Looks good though grachics wise although you need a supercomputer to run it on high settings , smooth unless you like a slide show
Doesn't need to be delayed.
The game is running about 50% better after the latest patch.
As for important player concepts, well they a sure us they've been tested enough internally.
If you think so negatively about it, let Funcom know and they've happily give your beta key to someone else who's willing to test the game rather then spend there time whining.

Thats wrong.
My spec:
E6400 @ 3.0ghz
640mb 8800 GTS OC'd
4gb Ram
And im getting 20fps minimum everywhere and in tarantia im getting 40-60 fps.

Not a lot obviously.
