Funcom has issued another Friday update. It mostly covers the announcement from earlier this week about Age of Conan's packed to the gills Collector's Edition. But they did sneak in three more new screenshots in today's update as well.
The first is above and shows off PvP mounted combat. When I was talking to the Funcom folks earlier this week at CES during my Dark Templar hands-on, they mentioned there were two pre-order combat mounts: the Woolly Mammoth and the Rhino. I wasn't able to see the gameplay of mounted combat, but I did see Woolly Mammoths that you could kill. If the mounted version is any where near as big, you will definitely have your enemies trembling before you as you bear down on them on one of those bad boys.
The second and third screenshots are in the gallery below and show an Ice Demon as well as a battle over an expansion bridge. Hopefully the next Friday Update from Funcom will have more new information.

I don't usually get giddy like a school girl over these "mammoth" piles of Collector's Crap (it's worth something to someone somewhere, the trick is to get the sap to buy it)... ESPECIALLY not one's going for $90 a pop! I've never ever bought one before. But the second I saw that this particular "Collector's Edition" came with something truly near and dear to my own REAL LIFE heart... well, I'll have to plunk down the coin.
WTF am I talking about? Why, the Drinking Cape of course! The Drinking Cape gives me unabashed access to free drinks in every tavern in Hyboria?!?!? Oh, they don't know me very well do they?! MOOOAHAHAHAH! Let the drunken bar brawls and mead pong begin!
By the way... if you pre-order from GameStop or EBGames (one and the same basically) you get the War Mammoth, which comes with the Mammoth Traveler's Bag (8 additional inventory slots). Haven't found a place offering the Rhino. Anyone know?

According to a competing site, there will be no open beta. So make sure you sign up fast, or hold out for the "invite a friend" ticket.
