Yeah... http://truly-free.ai...-free/index.php

I'm guessing you could always change your client to switch to the NA server, but I don't know how bad the lag / ping would be.

That sucks that there is a difference between regions :(

OK so we are all going to make a new toon on Kahrun then?

What side are we going? I personally want the side that looks cool, like snowy grounds, and pretty cities, but thats just me

Sounds like you want Asmodians, then. They're not evil as the character select screen makes them out to be. I went Elyos, though, due to having done the asmodian quests way too much in the past.

That is for the European server only. The NA server is actually free without restrictions.

@Firey, the new server is Kahrun.

Okay, which side should I be on? Asmo or Ely? also, what class are you? I'd prefer to be either a Tank or Healer. I'm not sure how dedicated you are, and I can't dedicate much.. but be nice to have a decent group.

I went Elyos already but I have no problems starting over, I'm only like level 13.

Yeah, I'm not super dedicated this time around. Last time I played Aion, I was addicted for an entire summer. Now I just play in short spurts, since I actually have a job / life these days, lol. I'm an Elyos Mage. Sorc is the easiest class for me to play. Healer was too much pressure to do your job correctly. Tank was decent. I'm only level 12 so far.

I think i'll give this game a shot. I'm pretty burned out on the WoW formula, but I need something to hold me over until D3 and GW2 :p

I would prefer to go Asmodians since I have never played the game passed level 8 honestly. I usually play mages in every other MMO I played, but I made a Priest the other day when I installed Aion and really like it. Don't know if I will be a full time healer or DPS priest though.

Who is going to take care of starting the guild? Someone who knows how to play this game I assume? lol

OH HOLY Cow this game has player housing now!? So its like Asheron's Call. Thats cool. They just added that with the 3.0 patch.

I know what you mean.. My free time consists of maybe 1-2 hours a night, little bit more during the weekends. With a job, a son, etc time is slim to none.

I made a Elyos cleric named Epiclol

Restrictions on the free to play vs other subscriptions are here. http://www.aionfreet...bsite/features/

I don't think those restrictions are in place for the US servers.

Edit: guess I was a day late and a dollar short on that one.

Yeah, I know what you mean, although I'm not that restriced. I'm "Harimakenji" if anyone wants to find me later on.

Not sure if there's really enough people for a Neowin group...

Ilena - 18 Gladiator
Sayu - 7 Priest
Mitsi - 1 Archer or w/e (gonna play her next)

Quests got boring really fast, it's actually faster to grind mobs to level up if you can tolerate it. I joined a guild hoping we can do some exp'ing but nobody wants to do anything except talk about anime and other games... lol :rofl:
