Aion Online


Recommended Posts

This game doesn't need to be a 'WoW Killer' to be a great game with a successful long life. But NCSoft have recently got a bad reputation for axing MMO's before there time like Tabula Rasa and Auto Assault.

I fear that if the game doesn't get enough subscribers within its first 6 months that NCSoft will end it. The game looks great I will definitely pick it up but I'll wait for a year first.

According to Aionsource the NDA has been lifted as of a few days ago. They said that because they could finally reveal their secret project, http://www.aionarmory.com/

And right now the only way to get a beta key is to pre-order. The give away keys that people got for the last event still work however.

More info here if you need it.

alright. Hopefully this allows the pictures to be shown full size.

Only a few for now. I want to get in an play!

If anyone knows how I can get these uploaded in 1920x1200, please let me know. These tiny pictures don't do the game justice.

seems to be a error with game guard and Windows 7 :/

I don't use Win7 so I can't tell you how to do it but there are fixes for that I'm pretty sure. Look through the forums on aionsource.com and the beta board if you have access to it.

wow it does look nice.. Looks like Guild Wars 2 to me.

Also WOW at that aionarmory. They straight stole it from Curse.com Hopefully curse is getting paid for it, that would be great for those guys.

Aionsource/Aionarmory is hosted or partially owned by Curse.com, or maybe fully owned by them, I'm not sure.

But hey, everyone likes curse, so why not work off of it right?

People complain that certain aspects of WoW are being ripped off when a game comes out, but thats going to happen no matter what way you looked at it. WoW stole almost every aspect of the game from other games themselves, they just 'did it right'.

there is a fix but its for the 64 bit so far :/

No, 15$ a month but right now it's in closed beta so the only way to play is if you preorder. I was skeptical at first but I dove in and preordered anyway. It's looking like I know what game I'll be playing for the next few years.

After showing it to 4 friends who have been playing wow for years all 4 preordered the collectors edition.

    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
