I know this is nit-picky, but Funcom has lied to us on a Friday update back on September 14th, read the following:

Friday Update: The Drinking Cape

 

- Sep 14, 2007

Members of our community will get a special in-game item for one of the nicest perks in Hyboria.



We're pleased to officially reveal the secret item granted to Clan of Conan members and bring you the first images of the Drinking Cape. 

 Drinking Cape Concept

 

 Drinking Cape Render

 In addition to looking stylish in the tavern and impressing all the wenches, the Drinking Cape comes with the best perk in Hyboria: free drinks for life.



Drinking is not only a fun way to get to know your friends and pick up wenches (or man-wenches, if that's your thing), it also is a key component in the Drunken Brawling PvP minigame. Those who don the Drinking Cape before strutting into the tavern get free drinks for life, meaning they can brawl to their drunken heart's content in all the taverns of Hyboria without losing any money. It's all the benefits of drinking with none of the side effects, truly a wonderous thing to the barbarian's heart.



The Drinking Cape features a leopard skin lining to keep you warm once you're thrown out into the cold night, while its stylish insignia lets everyone know that they're about to take on a world-class drinker, fighter, and all around awesome person, be it in the tavern brawl, stumbling home afterwards, or on the battlefield.



The Drinking Cape is only available to members of the Clan of Conan who sign up before the launch of Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

Notice that last part...it is only available to members of the clan of conan...well now according to their CES announcement...its available to everyone who buys a collectors edition.  Details details details.... I know its a small thing...but why cant companies get their facts straight?

    I agree, they probably mean both.. although I have a feeling drinking will not cost much anyways

    Well Im sure now its both now, but back in September they said that only Clan of Conan peeps would have the cape, now CE and CoC will have it, btw it will not be available after launch according the announcement with the Collectors Edition info in it, but that may be later changed as well...
