dead.cell Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 It's gonna be such a long week. My friend, my girlfriend, and I all have the game preordered. I've also heard they have more than 300,000 preorders so far, and that was a few days ago I think when I read that.

TheRealDave Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Is anyone up for setting up a Neowin clan for aion? If we all get a race & server we could set one up.

TheRealDave Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 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.

trag3dy Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Pre select character creation and picking your server doesn't start until Friday. So you haven't missed anything yet. :) As for the exact time it starts where you're at, I have no idea.

Tharp Daddy Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 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.

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.

trag3dy Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I would assume so but I really have no idea. Maybe people should say what server they're playing on and what side. Zikel server and Asmodean side for me. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/785682-aion-online/page/25/#findComment-591589088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) Awesome news people, Aion will launch without Gameguard! http://aiononline.com/en/news/aion-launch-version-1.html I'm excited about that little piece of news.

+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted September 18, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted September 18, 2009 So I have the game installed since the closed beta. Which has Gameguard installed. If I run the update, will it get removed? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/785682-aion-online/page/25/#findComment-591593326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) 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: http://www.brighthub.com/video-games/pc/articles/1709.aspx 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.

trag3dy Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 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.
