Trying to decide whether i want to play this game, i find $15 a month (though that's not alot of money) hard to motivate myself to do. I played WoW for about a year, if i see this game is doing well a few months after release (no end game content issues and such like AoC) then i may purchase it.

Anyone know how to activate the preselection? I preordered the game through GAME.co.uk and they are sending it out for the 25th. Does that mean I miss out? :( I sent them an email but got no damn response.

I *think* you just need to login as per usual when using beta. I think the Aion guys are activating those that preorder because of different keys. I ordered through steam but I dont think I will be getting another key.

This is guesswork though but I dont think I have to do anything other then login and make 2 chars on the days.

You are aware the game has been out for around a year in Korea and China and has several major content patches? That is the advantage that this game has over games like AoC and Warhammer Online. I posted details of what has been added in these patches a page or two back if you want to see what all was added. I don't think end game content is lacking in the slightest at this point as that's mostly what all patches focused on. One even went so far as to add 5 levels to the game just to suit the new content.

Oh, cool - once the trial comes out (or i get a buddy key) i'll give it a shot.

Not quite a year but not too far away:

Not removed, but disabled. Wait until the patch is out tonight and the game has updated for the newest version before you try to remove it.

Then follow the instructions here:

I'm personally not going to remove it just yet. I don't see much of a point. It only activates when Aion is running. Once they officially disable it it won't ever run.

Anyone can login for pre-select? I keep getting "You have been disconnected from the server"

You have to have pre ordered before a certain date to get in I think. I want to say you had to do that before Sep 9th but that doesn't seem right, because I know a lot of people have ordered within the last week and are getting in.

If you go into your account on aiononline.com it should say your account type is preorder, or standard, if you bought through Steam or the NCsoft store.

Also they had to delay the log in about 40 minutes because they needed to apply a last minute patch. No biggie. As soon as the servers were up I got in instantly.

      I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
