Greetings fellow Hyborians. I come to speak of matters most interesting to our people. I am certain you have all heard the news that if you pre-order your Age of Conan game you will get receive bonus in game items, To put it lightly, there has been a slight bit of controversy over this matter due to how it is being done.

The official pre-order site that funcom has up has been updated to be less confusing but previously it implied that you would get to choose one of three items. This was never the case though, it was poorly worded and actually meant choose which one you like by clicking one of the retail locations listed below. That was your choice, although you were likely oblivious to this fact until much later.

Basically the reward you will get is entirely dependent upon which retailer you purchase it from! To help you in your choices and save you the time of trying to figure this out yourselves, this is the basic rundown on who has what for the big 3 distributors in the U.S. Choose Wisely where you purchase or suffer through a reward you did not want.

Amazon.com: The Amazon Bow (usable at level 25)

GameStop: The War Mammoth (usable at level 40)

Best Buy: The Killer Rhino (usable at level 40)

Wal Mart: Eeeek! I paste this directly from their site: "Early Access preorder offer is not available on Walmart.com"

The site states that you will get these bonus items for every character that you create on that account, a definite plus.
