The unique PvP weekend marks an escalation in the stress testing for Age of Conan Gold game, and aspiring barbarians can now sign up on GameSpot's website.

The early version of the Age of Conan Gold game we played already has a working interface that nests most major menus (such as your character's inventory and skills) along the top of the screen, while including a mini-map in the bottom-right corner of the screen and your combat menu at the bottom center of the screen.

Age of Conan Gold game is consistently mentioned as one of the most anticipated PC games in development.

Your first quest is given to you by a fellow refugee, who speaks to you in an interactive cinematic sequence complete with camera close-up and branching dialogue options......

We began our tour of the game by quickly creating a new Age of Conan Gold game character from the game's character creation screen, which is actually the belly of a slave galley from which your character escapes with a case of amnesia......

We ended our tour with a brief visit to an extremely high-level dungeon known as "Black Ring Citadel," a level-80 dungeon (80 will be the highest character level you can attain at the game's launch) intended for the game's full "raid" contingent of up to 24 characters. The dungeon itself seemed to be an elegant temple under construction......

We had a chance to observe more high-level combat in the Age of Conan Gold game, which remains as bloody and violent as ever. We watched a small party of a sword-wielding barbarian, a priest, and a necromancer leap into action against the thugs in a bandit camp......

After this form of the wizard was ultimately destroyed, our party delved further into the dungeon to a gigantic hall in which an enormous gargoyle creature much larger than the full screen's size stood in wait for us, and summoned additional gargoyles and apprentice wizards while it swiped at our party with its huge claws.

As some of you might have heard, we're kicking off the launch for Age of Conan Gold game with a barbaric gathering here in Oslo. We're doing this in two stages on Tuesday May 13th.
