Age of Conan Client Mirror

Post by trog @ 06:44pm 13/05/08 | 29 Comments

Funcom have confirmed we're able to mirror the Age of Conan client for Early Access peeps, so if you're sick of battling the international crowds, you can start nabbing it locally from AusGamers. It's a 14gb download divided into 8 smaller chunks to make it a little easier to download (well, that's the theory; I'd prefer one big download myself). Even IE users should be able to download each chunk with their inferior browser.

Direct links to each of the parts:
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, and last and least, Part 8.

Can't this be a torrent? Be better served if everybody chipped in - especially at 14GB?

The official client is just a torrent; it has like 12,000 seeds so I'd recommend just using that

How exactly do you get early access? I've pre-ordered a copy from JB but I didn't get any kind of authentication key with it. I don't want to download 14g of data and find out I can't use it.

im not sure how jb do it, but at EB you go in with your reciept and they give you the codes and shit required.

also can anyone tell me what the death penality is in AOC, i tried searching the various aoc wikis around but cant find any info on it.

I think you have to sign up on the funcom site and pay an extra $5 - I read around a bit on it last night and the process is poorly documented and there's certainly a lot of people having problems on the official forums. I think there was a limited # of early access spots. See here for more info

If you have purchased the preordered, you make your account here by entering your preorder code. Once your account is created you are given this option

Which costs $5

EB no Limited editions left but do have the code. Ezygames and JB claim to have limited editions left but don't seem to be issuing the codes.

Awesome!

From what I saw in the beta, when you die in pvp there's no penalty

When you die in pve, you leave a gravestone, and you have a 10% penalty for 30 minutes unless you go get your gravestone.

This effect can stack if you die multiple times and don't collect your gravestones though

Someone's just pointed out that a couple files weren't unzipping properly; totally my fault - one of the file servers was being stupid and I forgot about it, so a few of the files hadn't fully copied over.

DON'T PANIC - your download isn't hosed. Just go back to the download page, get new d/l links, and resume your download.

according to AoC forums, early access is closed now. If you got in, youre in, if you havent at this point, youve missed out

sux 2 be me, already downloaded the client and was yet to recieve my early access code due to being on night shifts and sleeping during eb's operating hours.
