Age of Conan fans plunder Collector's Edition

Special edition of massively multiplayer online game has sold out, with 111,000 copies destined to reach gamers' hands at launch.
Gamers have been waiting a long time for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. Originally slated to be released in the first half of 2006, the game has finally gone gold after repeated delays, and is now due in stores on May 20 in the US and May 23 in Europe.

Funcom today boasted that the limited Collector's Edition, which includes two in-game items, a map of Hyboria, a 124-page art book, and an exclusive documentary DVD, has now completely sold out--despite 110,000 being sold after a second print run due to popular demand.

A total of 700,000 copies of the game are being shipped on day one, and Funcom says that due to "equally impressive preorder numbers" and "server capacity limitations," it has not been able to fulfil all orders for the game. It has ordered extra servers to make it possible for more players to join.
