English Patch

6. Is there a working English patch?

- YES! Download here

Go to your chinese aion folder/L10N

1. Copy the CHS folder in the same directory and name it ENU
2. Download the file, and place it in the folder L10N
3. Make sure your regional setting are not chinese but english (don't know if it makes a difference if your regional settings are something else)

You have to set your regional settings to English (US) and region to United States!
Works. Tested. (thx to kakashigr!!!)

Account creation - http://register.sdo.com/register.asp?from=78&zone=web



*note* after you fill that out and confirm the link in your email ,you have to update some information, name/CID etc..
You can also play without a CID but you will only get 5 hours worth of XP and loot, so after that you get nothing
*note*

step 1 : Fill this page out(Optional)

Lmao over 6gb file and my current speed is 0.6kb/s. GG.

tempting.... but if the speeds are like anything gamef said, eh no. lol

holy crap .6k/b for AION????? SOOOO WORTH IT

Tempting indeed

wow.. thats un usual then O.o it took me about 4 hours to dl off the http links. i can see if i can upload them to filefront or somthing if enough people want

EDIT: just tried the http links again, got around 90kb .. which is pretty slow but alot better than 0.6kb lol.

also i hear the torrent is slower than the http links so i dont recommend that

Hmm i will dl this game and try with my friends.

Yeah i tried through torrent but was going too low I guess there isn't enough seeders atm. I've tried the http links and the highest I get on that is like 50kb/s which is over a day just to download 1 part. I'll wait for someone to upload it to gamershell or something which would be much faster for me.

found another mirror for the client on another forum

link to thread - http://www.onrpg.com/boards/124625.html

Thanks for the post~

thanks for posting !

can some1 give me a working @mail domain ? ( ex. @yahoo.com,@gmail.com ) much appreciated.

I cba..

Oh but it's so tempting..

No I have so much stuff to do, can't waste my time on another game..

Yet it would probably be awesome..

God. <_<

Getting around 100-400 kb/s dling part 1. If i'm in Australia, will the Australian servers go faster for me?

*EDIT it's now going it 567 bytes/s. Idk wat happened lol\

*EDIT downloading it from tht game on.net one, going at 2MB/S now

I'm not sure about the acc creation stuff though, but i'm doin something else atm, ill try later.

seems like alot of work.....i don't like alot of work.....

If you do decide to dl it let's me now! You and your Aion thread are the only reasons I even consider the game $15 or not.

560kb/s is what I get.

XemnasXD wrote:seems like alot of work.....i don't like alot of work.....

hmm not really. the 2nd part of the account creation is just to verify its an adult account. you CAN play without it but you only get 6hours? worth of xp. took me about 10 mins for the whole thing

its the edit under manual patch.

^Maybe he did it because he thinks that people deserve to know about it + he likes to help ?

i stopped last night 60% threw part 1, at my rate it was going to take 3-4 days to dl everything, then have to make an account and what not, only to play for an unknown amount of time before they impose p2p. or end beta, either one.
