well its the 10th in every single country in the world (3 are already in the 11th) and i have yet to find a link to a download for my pre-order key. i registered today and have been waiting for the 10th to arrive in the US so i can begin the download (i need all the time i can get as my net is only just faster than dial-up atm). i was wondering if anyone has any useful information about where i can download the client as both the instructions on my key and the conan website are pretty vague about where i go. (again i dont want to seem impatient but i have to switch between a decent connection (at a friends place) and mine and its looking like i might not make the early access.)

Early access is on the 17th, right?

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

It's 4am PST on a Saturday morning.
Early access is a week away anyhow. lol
"With your pre-order Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, you will be able to participate in the 3-day Early Access Program. Early access period starts on May 17, 3 days before the commercial release on May 20, 2008. You may begin downloading the game client files and installing as early as May 14. With early access, there is a nominal fee of $5, which covers the cost of the download and includes 10 days of additional game time."

i already got my key 2 days ago from eb games
As far as i know the only special thing about 10th of may for AoC is the pvp obviously and that people who pre order form some companies (game in u.k i think) get there early access code sent by email today.
EDIT: Although there is alot of confusion over this on official forums with people posting that they have been given 10th as a start date for early download >.< so..i have no idea, sorry.

The Team,
Aussies get to download on the tenth because of bandwidth and ISP restrictions.

apparently the confusion of the download dates happened because many who registered their early access keys (including me) were given a message on screen at the funcom site after registration stating that the download would begin on May 10th. I registered my key yesterday and that was the information I received. Now it has come to light that the 10th download date was for Australian customers only. Why users such as myself who live and registered US accounts were given the 10th as a download date I don't know. The card with my early access key on it that I picked up from gamestop clearly states that the early access download will begin on May 14th.
"For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, 'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.' Such is the rule of honour..."
well last i checked i am still in Australia and i have yet to find a download button on the website or get an e-mail.
