Age of Conan is currently undergoing two separate beta programs. There is an ongoing closed beta program that runs constantly, as well as a technical beta program for specific testing needs (e.g. stress-testing servers or other hardware, specific playfields, etc.). We also do lots and lots of internal testing with the development team and QA department.
As we move closer to release, more and more external players will be added to the beta. To sign up, please visit the beta application here: http://beta.ageofconan.com/beta_application/
