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.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
