Age of Conan Collector's Edition Sells Out - briefly
(hx) 11:16 AM CEST - May,20 2008
Funcom has revealed
a record breaking number of pre-orders for its upcoming MMO
Age of Conan.
Pre-orders of the MMO's collector's edition have been strong enough to cause the
title to completely sell out, despite a second print run to keep up with demand,
selling in total around 111,000 units. The demand has been so high that 700,000
copies of the game will be shipped to retailers for day one sales, and Funcom
has announced it will be unable to fulfill all pre-orders in some markets due to
current server limitations.
The publisher also announced that the game will not support DirectX 10 at
launch. While Funcom says that DX 10 is the future of PC gaming, the company is
holding back DX10 support in order to work on it some more. Age of Conan DX10
support will debut roughly three months after the game's launch, during the
German Games Convention held in Leipzig from August 20 to 24. Age of Conan
officially launches May 20 in the US and May 23 in European territories.
