If you were hoping to pick up a collector's edition copy of Age of Conan you'll be sorely disappointed as Funcom today announced that it has completely sold out in all markets.

The total print run stands at 111.000 units and additional retail figures for the standard edition of Age of Conan are also highly impressive. In total, Funcom is shipping around 700.000 copies of Age of Conan on day one.

As a result of the recent order increase, Funcom has not been able to fulfill all orders of Age of Conan in several markets due to current server capacity limitations. Extra orders of servers are now in place to facilitate for handling of more customers.

More than one million unique visitors visited the Age of Conan websites last week, and as a result of the great interest in the game, Funcom's early access offer was swiftly oversubscribed. The three day early access program was a limited offer reserved for pre-order customers. While Funcom scaled the servers above anticipation, player demand surpassed expectations. As the Early Access servers launched last night, the servers and game reportedly held up exceptionally well. As the game launches properly later this week, Funcom expects additional large numbers of customers to enter the game.

While Funcom is thrilled with the early success of Age of Conan, the company regrets to inform gamers that the DirectX 10 version of the game will not ship with the initial launch. This postponement will let Funcom include even more features in the DirectX 10 version of Age of Conan than originally planned.

Age of Conan launches 20th of May in North America / Oceania and 23rd of May in Europe.
