Another week has passed and so we are one more closer to launch. The Age of Conan Hyborian Adventure (AoC) community and fan base continues to grow at a regular pace and the official forums are flooded with traffic both new and old. As always Ten Ton Hammer is here to save you the trouble of sifting through a sea of dramatic posts and incoherent rants to find that tiny morsel of juicy information and good discussion. Win a Beta spot, the king has come to the UK, Priest of Mitra revealed and will they ever give those roleplayers their own server, all this and more in this week's Border kingdom Cryer.
(Note: If you don't understand something I have said or abbreviated get caught up on the terminology here.
Win a Betaspot - Your Betaprayer to the Hyborian gods - POST YOUR PRAYERS HERE (II)
If you haven't submitted your prayer to the Hyborian gods yet you still have some time. The contest comes to a close next week but due to the massive popularity of this contest and everyone rushing in and praying for a beta spot (literally) the good people at Funcom had to open up a second thread. So if you still have high dreams of reaching the heavenly gates of beta, start praying now.
Finally, The King Has Come To The UK
Eidos and Funcom have organized a little tour for the media in London and they have decided to give the public a chance to win a couple of seats on the tour. They are opting nine tickets to the event to be given away to winners. If you think you have what it takes to win, and you can get yourself to London in time, read the rules and post your feedback in this thread. Be sure to let us know how it is if you win.

Compiled AoC Ten Ton Hammer Content Thread
If you haven't taken notice of the new sticky thread on the official Age of Conan forums take a peak at this one. This thread contains links to all AoC Ten Ton Hammer information currently available and sorted by type. Have an older article we released that you want to find, this is the place to track it down. It will be updated as new information becomes available so keep a check.
With the feud arising between roleplayers over the RP-PvE/RP-PvP server sets in recent weeks it was nice to see a thread of roleplayers taking aim at someone else. In this case leet speaker dudes. This thread is solely dedicated to you hardcore PvP 'ers. In this case the roleplayers want to let the message be known that the leet dudes are going to be very surprised if they come to their server expecting to find easy prey. That said, "Let the flames begin!"

Uncle Machail Wants You...
Machail made this post to try and rally the AoC Ten Ton Hammer community to take over the Ten Ton Hammer forum posting lead. Since we have overthrown World of Warcraft from The Pulse and assumed our rightful spot at the number one slot ~flex~ and we all know that Age of Conan is going to rock any other game when it launches in May. We at AoC Ten Ton Hammer feel a sense of pride and accomplishment and we ask you to not only aid us in taking over Ten Ton Hammer with the most posts, but also the highest quality of posts. We don't ask you to do this for accomplishment, vanity, or anything quite so complicated. We want you to do it for pride and the bragging rights of monkey stomping every other game on the network into the ground pure and simple. So read up on Uncle Machails post and help us build this community up and take the title on all fronts. ~Waves fist at World of Warcraft~

Besieged - US PvE/PvP Guild Recruiting
This week's AoC Ten Ton Hammer Guild of the Week goes to Besieged. This is a semi-hardcore raid guild that boasts raiding often and well.
