If last month's new subscription model and Veteran Points system wasn't enough for you, Funcom has yet more goodness in store their MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.
For the next two weeks, the game will be completely free to play, and for all players, XP will be doubled during this period. And if you decide to keep playing after this (or if you already were), a variety of rewards are yours for the taking:
Subscribing for 1 month gives 7 days extra game time for no additional costSubscribing for 3 months also guarantees a spot in open beta for The Secret World
Subscribing for 6 months also gives a level 40 helmet with a 10% XP modifier
Subscribing for 12 months also gives a free copy of the Rise of the Godslayer expansion
Taking iteven farther, it's noted each subscription includes all the rewards of lower-tier subscriptions, so for example, a year-long committment will net you the expansion, equipment, more XP, The Secret World beta, and extra game time. Again, the limited offer is applicable to current and new subscribers -- those who've signed up in October have already secured their goodies.
We're starting to think Funcom have gone slightly mad, but their VP of Sales and Marketing Morten Larssen seems to think it's all quite reasonable:
“We are very proud of what have been able to do with the game since launch. The game has grown and improved at a remarkable pace, and we continue to introduce new content, new features and new improvements. We are introducing these fantastic rewards as we know that coming back to an MMO demands effort, and we want to make sure that as many former players as possible are exposed to the new and improved ‘Age of Conan’ .”
