Yeah, I was playing a Scout on a different server and was kicked also. It's sad to see the beta event end. I am having such a great time playing. I am also very excited for the full launch of the game. We are going to have a blast playing!

Ok its looking good, but I buy everything, so I will preorder this weekend. Hope its play on windows 7, already upgraded my laptop.. The time limit is going to hinder my farming... but I sure I will have happyday to keep me company.... Isnt the beta closed down after today? No worries, wolfenstein is out tomorrow...
I gonna give this one a shot, just cause I miss all yall.......dont have much time to game anymore, but Ill try the causal route for once :)
hows this one looking? been thinking about finding something to taste while on my wow break.
Azmo - I had a blast playing Beta. It's a lot like WoW in that the UI and combat are similar, and questing is basically the same. It's very polished and the graphics are stunning.
I'll be playing casually just to have something other than WoW to do, but I have a feeling this one may suck me in!
From Aion's Facebook:
Within the next four weeks, we will treat European and North American gamers to two opportunities to jump into the world of Aion and explore Atreia as Asmodian or Elyos characters ahead of its release in Europe on 25nd September and North America 22th September. Aion's Open Beta Test featuring version 1.5 will take place 6-13th September and will include numerous Western enhancements, including improvements to Aion's innovative character customization with a host of Western styles, as well as new zones, instances, skills, quests and continued game balancing and improvements. Open Beta will retain a level cap for both Elyos and Asmodians characters at 30 allowing players to focus on getting to the same level so they can explore the lands of Atreia together, as well as the Abyss.
Players who have pre-ordered Aion will be treated to a Pre-Select and a two-day Headstart period giving them the opportunity to explore, organize and progress through the game prior to the official launch. Pre-Select will take place on 18th September, while Aion's Headstart will begin 20th September. Players can still participate in the Aion's Pre-Select and Headstart programs by pre-ordering the game through several participating online and brick-and-mortar retailers.
Sweet, we get a beta with 1.5! Will the beta key we used for previous betas work for the open as well? I hope so!
I need to go ahead and pre-order - I was just going to get it off Steam, but I like the idea of getting in a day or two early and reserving my character name early.
Speaking of names, I always have a theme. My WoW toons were named after my favorite female movie characters. My Aion toons are going to be named after Joss Whedon's Dolls. :)
I love stalking Aion's Facebook page...
As added extra spice, FilePlanet will--in addition to distributing the client--be giving away a load of open beta keys starting on Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Get on the starting line if you do not have an eligible Aion account already! Eligible accounts include any previous closed beta participants and those who have preordered or prepurchased Aion.
I haven't felt this much joy since [TK]'ing Kidd in a BF1942 match back in '03
If the patch download is any indication of the launch we are in trouble. 20kb per sec download it will take all week.
I got mine through the torrent and it just took a couple hours
Looks like an updated client via Fileplanet. I will use that. I also preorder so hopefully a beta key will show up soon, so I can try it out on sept 6th. I smell gold already.......
Thier on some trickle download thing now. 20-50k
When i got mine before I was downloading from 150-300K (still took all night)
How are you guys getting the new client - just through the NCsoft Launcher?
I got mine through the NC Soft launcher.
Ive been dinking around with the free trials of Guild Wars, City of Heroes, etc. I also Downloaded Dungeon Runners <--- I think thats what its called. Its pretty funny and free with the members get better stuff deal.
This game seemed to me like a mixed copy of WoW and Ragnarok Online with the gameplay style (WoW) and class style (RO). Both games are fun, so I can't exactly claim that this is a reason the game would be bad though :nuh:.
When does it come out? I think I'll be one of the many waiting for reviews.
General release is the 22nd of September but if you preorder you get in on the 18th to reserve your toon's name and get to play on the 20th.
Download is complete and fully patched. There is now an intro movie and some sound updates. For the heck of it, I tried to log in and *poof* nothing. This waiting really does stink a little.
Fileplanet subscribers can now get keys via the beta center. For those who have preordered its does matter I guess. I have a key now and hopefully Amazon will send me one too for the preordered software so I have the headstart key.. Then littlerocks can try it out too on the fileplanet key.
So preordered folks may want to share a fileplanet one too if you have both.
Torrent links and or fileplanet download links are right on the Aiononline.com page as well as on the Aionsource.com page. I can hardly wait to start battling my way into a instance with other players fighting for possession.
You guys have me a little excited about this one .... I may just have to join you !
You should grab a beta key and hop on this weekend and next week so we can BS if nothing else. :beer:
The more winged players fighting in the abyss the better!
:angel:
Totally! Just make sure your mic is working first <glares at Bojan>.
Turns out the beta keys are harder to come by than I thought. I've been trying to get one for a friend, but you have to be a subscriber to File Planet to get one from there. :(
If anyone finds other sources for beta keys, let me know. Otherwise I'll just preorder and give him that beta key.
lol
I go through 1 headset a month and I didnt see a reason to pay those cost while I wasnt gaming :)
Ill have a new nifty headset up and running this weekend though in anticipations of gaming again in the near future.
2 kids, 4 dogs, 2 cats and a fun nifty tastey toy on the end of a long thin wire ='s broken
Ok, I started my download yesterday around 6:00 pm. I just got home, and it's 47% through and says it has another 20 hours to go. For real?
I may have an extra one if Amazon actually send one for the preorder. But I wont be back in town until monday night.. If I do, you can use swae...
As of this morning it had 6 hours left. I'm not sure where I even started the download from, but obviously I chose poorly.
I am looking forward to having a whole week in beta, though, assuming my download ever finishes!
Not sure how this should act, but I receive an error message saying its not available in your country. Also the key from amazon states its already in use. May be yet another rocky start to a large scale MMO. Sigh... We have all seen this movie before.. How are others making out? Hopefully Swae's download will be done by sept 22...
That's strange Rocks, I wonder if you somehow got the European version rather than US?
When I was home for lunch today, my download had 2 hours left - fingers crossed that it's done when I get home tonight!
I will trying installing the Amazon version since the Fileplanet one seems to point me to the UK verses the US. 20k per sec, it should be done in a week or two... Tho I still dont have a valid key for the account. I have ticket into amazon and NCsoft... good test I guess.
So, Amazon sent me a new key and I have down loaded the AION client now via the NClauncher. Should be good to go. Still getting an error on launch saying "Program not available in your country" but I am told that this will go away when the US servers are up. So I am good to go once I return from the labor day hiking trip. (monday night)
I've prepurchased this one and have just finished downloading the open beta client, and I have to say, the install process left much to be desired. The launcher gave me endless problems which I had to reinstall twice, and after it semi-worked, I had to reboot my machine every time something changed with it. I've spent a couple hours looking thru the aion forums and it's really tried my patience.
Even with all that work, it will be a miracle if this works Sunday when the open beta testing starts. At least I haven't yet thrown my headset to the floor. Note to others - if you're ever getting off an airplane and see a headset just sitting there, take em - this one has held up well over all the times I've thrown it around in frustration! Easy on the ears, too.
Ya not sure what they changed... the last lil beta event they had I downloaded with no problems... it was still a little slow but i started it when I got home one evening and it was finished and ready to play in the morning.
Anyone able to get in yet?
