Aion Online


Recommended Posts

How do i get involved in the open beta? Just download the client and wait until the 6th? Or do i need to register / get a key etc?

In EU they released keys from a number of game sites;

Most sites that released them early are already out of keys as far as I know.

There are no similar news on the North American site, so I don't know about that.

I looked at this game a month ago and swear none of the screenshots looked that good :p

I'm tempted by it, if it will be anything like (or better) than Guild Wars. However, is it possible to buy one months access, and then have your account disabled next month until you want to buy another months access? I'm doing that with EVE at the moment, and it works out OK. I don't want to pay for a game every month if I only play it every other month, that's all.

On the other hand, I really (shouldn't) have the time for these anyway :p

Hmm :-/ Well I am in the UK. Anyone know where I can find one at? Would be greatly appreciated.

Those sites arent the easiest to navigate. I guess they're all gone from those. Gutted.

Yeah, I checked a few and just searched for anything Aion but many didn't even have something on the frontpage.

But for example this one worked but all keys was out same day (2nd Sept).

When you buy the game you get a free 30 days with it. I'm not sure if you have to set up a payment plan before that or not. But either way you can cancel your plan before your free 30 days are up. Canceling your plan won't cause you to lose any of your characters or anything. They'll be there if/when you resume payments to play again.

Well I've just deleted my EVE account. I bought the 30-day trial of it for $4.99, not realising that to renew your subscription for a month costs 14.99 euros (~?14/$30).

I was willing to spend up to ?8/8 euros/$16 on a MMORPG, so maybe I can migrate to Aion when it's out.

I'm assuming it's started. But not able to connect with the authentication server, aionsource, or aionglobal? Anybody else or is it just me
Same. Looks like it has been thrashed.

You have to reset your password to be able to log in to the game. However the aion web pages are getting hammered right now. Just keep refreshing and you'll get in. Took me a while too.

Is it suppose to be around 3gb?

The patch alone, yes. The full client is over 9gb. Remember, the patch from 1.0 to 1.5 version adds around 20 new areas, 4500 items, 160 new spells, and 418 new quests to the game so it's not like the size is unwarranted.

It's been going all day, but they are having some serious lag issues. It's not exactly Ncsoft's fault. If you have access to the beta board look at this thread here to see what's happening:

I'm getting stopped at the llnw.net. So hopefully there is a solution sooner rather than later. Not that I care overly much as long as it's fixed by the 18th.

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
