Age of Conan anniversary contest prizes include lifetime subscriptions
Filed under: Fantasy, Age of Conan, Contests, Forums, News items
We mentioned an Age of Conan event in passing recently but we’d like to point out a bit more about the AoC Anniversary Contest, “Find the King’s Seals“. It’s an easter egg hunt of sorts, where players are given a list of game sites which contain silver seals. There are 25 silver seals to be found for each language (English, French, and German, although only 10 for Spanish), which are collected in the form of codes, found among the Age of Conan articles on the various MMO sites.
Funcom states: “There is also one golden seal hidden somewhere on one of the listed webpages. If you also manage to find that one together with the 25 silver seals for your language, you get the chance to win the grand prize… a lifetime subscription to Age of Conan.” If you’re interested in entering the contest, you’ve got until midnight (Central European Time) on May 31st. You can see the full Age of Conan Anniversary Contest rules and prize listings on the game’s official forums.

Age of Conan’s anniversary hiccup
Filed under: Fantasy, Age of Conan, Events, in-game, News items
In what some are calling “their biggest debacle since launch,” Funcom’s anniversary bash for Age of Conan (EU) experienced a hiccup this past weekend, and unfortunately, it wasn’t alcohol-related. A combination of miscommunication and technical glitches left hundreds, if not thousands, of party-goers in poor spirits.
Funcom’s initial announcement invited players to take part in “small festivities” outside Conan’s castle at a particular time and urged them to bring along celebratory fireworks obtained with a “/claim” command. Due to some time zone confusion, many players showed up over an hour early. When the event didn’t even kick off when it was supposed to, the forums lit up with agitated players.
The Senior Community Manager, Tarib, showed up and explained that the festivities were actually intended to be player-driven rather than a scripted or GM-led world event. This did not sit well with many in the community who pointed to the event promotion, which led them to believe otherwise. Tarib apologized for the miscommunication and also stated that technical issues prevented certain merchants from showing up in certain instances. He later called off the North American event of the same name.
Funcom is now running an Easter egg hunt where fans can search through their favorite community sites in search of special silver and golden King seals. The prizes are quite good, including: free lifetime subscriptions, monthly and multi-month subscriptions, in-game items, and custom forum avatars.

Slay a festive goat to win game-time and prizes in AoC
Filed under: Fantasy, Age of Conan, Contests, Events, in-game
In keeping with the macabre nature of the Conan world, you won’t be helping orphans for Age of Conan‘s seasonal event. Nope. No delivering festive cookies to elves or spreading holiday love. Just hunting down mountain goats. Nothing says Christmas in Hyboria like a freshly slain and skinned goat carcass for that special someone. The problem in this particular case is that these “holiday” goats are in short supply — extremely short supply in fact, as there will only be one special goat per server. All the bragging rights (and prizes) go to one lucky person per server who manages to track it down.
There will be a hefty portion of luck involved in winning your server’s event, but Funcom is also providing clues to the goat’s whereabouts in the form of riddles on the official site. The events will take place on different days across the servers, and the goats won’t be in the same place either. Now we’ve got to admit that we were a bit slow to catch this (we’ll blame the spirit of the holidays for making us lazy) and some servers have already had their riddles posted and goats killed. However, if your server hasn’t had the event yet, then it will be either be on later today, or the 29th, the 30th, or the 31st of December. Each server’s winner will receive a pack of prizes (the same as the Season give-away pack) and two months of free game-time. Happy hunting!

New Seasonal Event Competition - Ten Ton Hammer
Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures will be joining the ranks of many other games this holiday season as they hold an ingame seasonal event for players to take part in. If you can be the one to win this event you will win an assortment of ingame items and two free months of play time.
In celebration of the days getting longer now and the turning of the sun, we will hold an in-game competition on each Age of Conan server.
Players will have to hunt and kill a certain mountain goat we will have spawned. The exact location where this specific goat can be found will be told in form of riddles which we will post here on the community portals. The location of the mountain goat will be different on each server to make it a bit more challenging.
Keep an eye out on the Season Event entries on the portal at 23rd, 24th, 29th, 30th and 31st of December. These will be the dates the competition will be held.
The event will run exactly once on each of the servers during the whole period of the competition (one single time on only one of the the 5 days mentioned above) so make sure you don’t miss the one running on yours.
To give you an idea, here’s an example of a possible riddle:“Between the sunset and the dark night.
Where the clans trade
and the lion sells his goods.”
The first line reveals the servername
The second line tells you about the playfield
The third line describes the exact spotThe first player to solve the riddle, finding the spot and killing the Mountain Goat will be declared the winner of that server.
Each winner will get a whole set of in-game items for Age of Conan. Each set contains:
- The brand new Snow Mammoth
- The War Mammoth
- The Killer Rhino
- Ring of Acheron
- Drinking Cape
- Bag of Holding
- Amazon Bow
- Totem of Origins
In addition, the winners also get 2 months of free game time.
So, what do you have to do again to win this prize on your server?
1) Check the Season Event entries on the community portal to read the riddle which will reveal the server, the playfield and the exact spot the Mountain Goat can be found at.
2) Go to that spot and find the Mountain Goat spawned there.
3) Be the first to kill the goat to become the winner and get the prize.
That’s it.
The winners will receive the codekey by e-mail to activate all of the above mentioned in-game items for his/her Age of Conan gameaccount. The 2 months additional free game time will be activated by Funcom directly on the account.
Happy hunting and good luck!
