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.

      Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen

      Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one. At that price they should, possibly for the first time, offer an installments option, say 24 months, they may sell a lot if they do. I'm sure they would have no shortage of credit companies willing to partner.
