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.

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By ad47uk · Posted

      Still hate Windows 11, I stuck it on my gaming machine again just for a nose to see what they had done, still as bad. Will restore Windows 10 back on it, suit MS anyway, they don't want me to run Windows 11 on it.

    • Microsoft Authenticator - Constant Login Approval Requests

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, What sort of Microsoft Authenticator account login approval requests are you getting?  It is a generic authentication app and can be used with all sorts of services (Microsoft Account, Google Account, websites and services that support multi-factor authentication, etc.). Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Windows 8? Nah. I found Window 8 worked well, get a third party start menu to get rid of the start screen, I used Start is back and windows 8 was pretty good. I used it even when Windows 10 came out as I found Windows 10 was iffy on my machine at the time was AMD FX Bulldozer based. It was only when I updated the innards to Ryzen that I had no choice but to go to Windows 10 as MS made it difficult to stay with Windows 8. ME, yes, that was not great, I liked the look of it, but it was not stable, shame really because Windows 98SE was the best of the dos based Windows.
