Aion US Beta Weekends

[VeniVidiVici]

I didn't read the whole thread but this may sound as a dumb question: How can I play the Beta version? If anyone could explain it, it would be great

EDIT: just read the previous page, which says beta has ended. But when open beta starts how can I register?

[AkillerNXC]

No, Beta's are over. Next is open beta, date hasn't been released yet.

Video I made from the last beta.

News!

Press Release:

Players are now one step closer to the release of the year's biggest massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, Aion.

Within the next four weeks, NCsoft will treat North American and European gamers to two opportunities to jump into the world of Aion and explore Atreia as Asmodian or Elyos characters ahead of its release in North America on September 22 and Europe September 25. Aion's Open Beta Test featuring version 1.5 will take place September 6 - 13 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 preordered 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 September 18, while Aion's Headstart will begin September 20. Players can still participate in the Aion's Pre-Select and Headstart programs by preordering the game through several participating online and brick-and-mortar retailers, including Aiononline.com, Amazon, Best Buy, EB Games Canada, Fry's Electronics, GameStop, Steam and Target.

Unlike any MMO before it, Aion is a uniquely crafted online experience where flight offers much more than just a way to explore the landscape - it is a strategic and integral part of combat, quests, and exploration. Players will dive into battle and plunge through thousands of unique, story-driven quests, all while trying to save a world literally shattered in half from centuries of brutal conflict. Using one of the most flexible and in-depth character customization systems ever featured in an MMO, players will be able to create genuinely distinct characters and explore a visually stunning world of ethereal beauty brimming with otherworldly inhabitants, mysterious enemies, and ancient secrets.

Quick question: what the difference between the Pre-Select and the 2-day headstart?

[Da_Realest]

Quick question: what the difference between the Pre-Select and the 2-day headstart?

Pre-select allows you to reserve your character name. So I'm assuming you'll be able to create your character and choose your name but you won't actually be able to log into the world yet until the 2 day headstart.

[/Pi]

Thanks Da_Realest. I have another question: How many characters are we allowed to have across all servers?

[Da_Realest]

I'm not 100% sure but I think its 8 per server.

[Toshiharu]

Thought it was 10 characters? Either way 8 or 10 it's good enough. Use those mules to put more items up to sell. I just hope pre-selection is just 1 character.. it'd be kinda unfair selecting names and people that log in right away will get the uber 1337 names D: I wanna be Jebus! *Only saying this, because I get out 20minutes after pre-selection starts and gets home about 10minutes later* lolol

good to see so many SRF-ers playing Aion

I'll be in RageQuit clan, Elyos.

Don't know what my name will be yet, but I'll be looking forward to killing everyone.
I just hope everyone here goes Asmo.

Oh, and if you see me in game and know it's me, just sit there and take it like a hot chick on prom night, it'll make both our lives easier.

Zomg why is it taking so long to go up. Q_Q

[Da_Realest]

It is up. Well the log in server anyway.

I can't log in though because it says I owe money or something...

EDIT: Still working on getting everything up. We're aware of the error message "...you have not made a payment..." and are looking to fix it.

[TOloseGT]

it says my accounts been suspended because i didn't pay...that's bullshit

[dom]

WTF

When I try to launch it says it's unavailable in my country. Then I get these gameguard pop ups telling me to reinstall the game. **** that, it's like a 8gb game.

Clearly, you need to update the game. What version do you have now? Go to the launcher, right click on aion and check the properties. It has to be 1.5.0.3.

[dom]

Can we get an official server/player list for release?

I don't want to roll alone.
