The Sceptics, yes they're special but we've need them to.. I guess.
And if they're put more effort MMORPG.com can create a 'Team Sceptic'
and send them to the Special Olympus.
This is nice thanks. Hopefully we actually can get into the little pvp beta weekend.
Wondering if we all get premade characters or just newbies to level a day and then kill eachother
- ya I'm here

awesome news thanks for the link
No, sorry. xbox isnt for a while. Everyone will have premade level 20 characters. Looks like they are mainly checking stability and balance.
"To make the weekend even more interesting Eidos and Funcom also includes the engaging Age of Conan character creation system, allowing players to create avatars with strong personalities. All 12 classes in the game, including the barbarian, can be picked and tested, with Funcom transforming each character into a fully specced level 20 death machine. In PvP lobbies players can then chat and socialize, prior to entering PvP matches. Participants are urged to test different classes, and offer any feedback on the forums. There will also be forums on GameSpot.com where people can talk about the event, and Funcom staff will be present to gather feedback."
Stuck at work. Can't sign up until I get back home
But thanks for the link!

That's not premade characters though. You will be able to create your own character, but it will be powered up to Level 20 in order to participate in the PvP. So you get to chose what kind of looks you have at least. XD
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
Signed up, thanks for the info
Crossing my fingers to get selected.
I wonder if people who are already in beta will need to sign up for this or are they already invited? If so, it'll be a lot more than 15,000 people playing that weekend
Stress test for massive PvP battles! I'll be the first to guess the servers will crash 15 minutes into accepting logins.
That and lots of Assassins.
Signed and keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like good chance to test different classes, since it says well be taking over level 20 characthers.. mmhzz
Thanks for this, although personally I will not do it - I want to experience AoC from the bottom up.
But I look forward to reading about people's impressions - especially concerning the different classes.
Thanks for the heads up Rohh! Good luck to everyone who has applied!
Cheers!

Thank god you posted this Rohh, I wouldn't have seen it until much later
Wow, I totally misunderstood the topic thread. I thought I'd be reading about layoffs at Funcom or something.
But this sounds way better, thanks!
