Funcom, Eidos, and IGN have partnered to give 50,000 FilePlanet subscribers access to the Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures open beta, which be hosted exclusively at IGN’s popular download site and other IGN network sites such as Gamespy, Tentonhammer, and Warcry.

The open beta begins on May 1st, but FilePlanet subscribers can sign up as early as next week. No word on when the open beta will end.

More of a stress test than an actual open beta test, Age of Conan open beta players will only be able to level to 13, but Funcom promises “hours and hours of entertainment” just the same.
