gaming Aion free-to-play update hits April 11

[(Spork)]

any torrents out for the full 3.0 update ? i see nothing has change the downloader is super slow

[Kondrath]

The downloader maxes my connection every single time. Weird. About to start playing right now. Might feel slow coming from a high rate private server...

And a fyi for new players, Asmodians have a much nicer homeland than Elyos. Almost everything in Elyo land is either a graveyard or a desert. Asmo land is colorful, snowy, etc. It also contains graveyards and stuff, but in general it's much nicer to play on the asmo side. I'm rolling Elyo this time around though, due to making way too many Asmos in the past.

Oh wow. Well I only have 10mbps download, so I guess maxing mine wasn't too hard. So far, this is sooooo much slower paced than the private server I was on...

[SMELTN]

So is everyone rolling on the new server?

[_neutrino Veteran]

I went ahead and started on the new server. They're actually attempting to make the races balanced, unlike previously.

edit: lol, that's awful man! 158 hours to go!

[firey]

I'm getting between 1, and 1.2mb/s down. I have a 32mbit connection so it's a bit slower than my max download, but not much I can do about it.

so far i have not had any of these happen to me i made lvl 12 lastnight

[firey]

so I logged in, I have a toon on Tiamat. Dunno what side I am on (Whatever the good side is). However.. my name was kinda changed. It used to just be Epiclol, but now it's EpiclolMS :/ What is the new server?

[SMELTN]

yeah if we are all going to play since its free to play, lets at least just play on the same server and make a Neowin guild. Just for the fun of it.

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

@Firey, the new server is Kahrun.

######?

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 :(

[SMELTN]

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.

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.

[x9248]

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