“Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a massively-multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) based on the world and works of acclaimed author Robert E. Howard.  In Age of Conan, players enter Hyboria with thousands of their friends and enemies to live, fight, and explore the dark and brutal world of King Conan. “ 

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is about to be opened to the mere mortals that didn’t have the chance to pre-order it. People that pre-ordered it had the chance to start playing earlier and also had a nice extra added to their account, the most popular being a nice mount.

Tomorrow, the 23th will be the official release of the game. Some people have already started playing it and they say it’s simply fabulous. One of the greatest features in this game is the ability characters have to do finishing moves like cutting heads out

It is a very good competitor to World of Warcraft. More than 1 million people have pre-ordered the game. Let’s see if it meets the expectations

Quick SQL tip that I find useful. If you want just the date part of a datetime value, the following neat expression yields it:

SELECT DATEADD(d, 0, DATEDIFF(d, 0, datetime_column))

This is useful for comparing dates. Alternative approaches include casting to string, and comparing the date parts (day, month, year) separately. The context determines which is most appropriate.
