The Age Of Conan: Hyborian Adventures Website announces that registration is underway for pre-order customers of Funcom's MMORPG, which will allow the purchase of early access to the game (thanks Gamer's Hell). The update also announces the early access date for EU customers has been pushed up to May 17 to coincide with the program's launch in the US, and that they have removed the planned level cap for early access:

Registration for customers with pre-order keys has now opened on http://register.ageofconan.com. Registering with a valid pre-order key (such as the Rhino or Mammoth key) is the unique way to be eligible to purchase Early Access for 5€/5$. This fee includes 10 days of game-time as well as the digital download of the client. Hurry though, because the Early Access is only available while supply lasts!

Note that pre-order items such as the Rhino and Mammoth is not available on Early Access accounts. Once an Early Access account is upgraded with the retail key, the virtual item can be claimed. The originally planned level capping of the Early Access has been removed.

The launch date for early access in Europe has been moved forward! Both the US and EU servers open on the 17th of May (5pm GMT). This date used to be the 20th for the EU servers, thus European players are now getting 6 days of early access until the regular launch on May 23rd!
