Christmas isn’t here yet, but Funcom is in a rather giving mood already…The company has announced that players can now take part in in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures for free by simply downloading, registering, and accessing the title between now and January 1, 2010.

“Our original seven day trial has been very successful so far,” says Morten Larssen, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Funcom. “But with the holiday season coming up this is the perfect time to shake up our trial offer a bit and try out something new. So everyone who downloads the trial before January 1st will be able to play the first part of the game for free, forever. We are confident that many of those taking advantage of this offer will choose to become permanent players, allowing them to experience all of what the game has to offer including all the additions and improvements introduced since launch.”

Players can level up as many characters as they want before choosing to move on and explore the rest of the game and by doing so will be able to enjoy all of what Tortage Island has to offer, complete with player vs. environment and player vs. player gameplay. You gotta take advantage of this offer before January 1st though, and you will need to log in to the game for the offer to take effect, so head here to start your bloody, barbaric, and sexy adventures if you’re interested.
