trag3dy Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) ^^ My install is sitting at 13gb. :laugh: What if you hated Lineage 2, you're going to hate Aion too ? (Talking about myself here heh) To be fair I think the only similarities to Lineage 2 are that the classes are somewhat similar and the look of the game is similar as well. I think people are just calling it "Lineage 3" because it's made by NCsoft. Aion while not giving away everything for free like WoW is supposed to more casual and less grindy than Lineage 2. I hate calling it casual because a lot of people think that's what has ruined WoW, but for lack of a better word...yeah, more casual than Lineage 2, less casual than WoW. I haven't played Lineage 2 very much so I may be wrong on those points though. Edited June 29, 2009 by trag3dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ylcard Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 13GB ? Holy crap, downloading that would take a while ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trag3dy Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) 13GB ? Holy crap, downloading that would take a while ^^ That's after it's been fully installed. The download was only 6 or 7gb though. In comparison: Empire: Total War - 14.8gb Aion - 13gb Warhammer Online - 10.9gb Mass Effect - 9.69gb Interesting to note that Crysis WARHEAD being way more graphically intense than any of these games install only sits at 5.5gb.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted June 29, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 29, 2009 I was afraid the Aion beta would be exclusive to FilePlanet subscribers. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLaughingMan Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I was afraid the Aion beta would be exclusive to FilePlanet subscribers. :( I got the key, but can't dl the game T_T so whats the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraggles Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 TheLaughingMan, are you having trouble downloading the game through the client? If you are, I had the same issue. I'd suggest waiting until it gets a little later when less people are downloading. I had the same issue, however with repeated attempts it finally connected.

trag3dy Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Well luckily you have until Thursday before the next beta event starts so you got some time to get your download sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLaughingMan Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 well i got the key, but when i click "preload now" it takes to me a screen to subscribe to file planet. So did I somwhow miss a step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 You have to register at fileplanet to download from there I'm guessing. However, try registering your key/account on the Ncsoft website, you might be able to get a download link that way. You'll need to register there anyways to be able to log into the game.

Scraggles Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm salivating for this weekend. Unfortunately my girlfriend has the day off on Thursday and Sunday. I'm hoping I can figure out some way to play. However, she knows how I'm dying to play this game and she might try to distract me from the ol 'pooter. She already gave me the go ahead to stay up until 12 the day before release so I can log on, and reserve some names quick. She just wants me to reserve her name again. lol.

TheLaughingMan Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 was wondering will this be a pay to play or GW type? From what i see on youtube, i reall do not mind paying to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Pay to play. And yeah, this weekend should be fun. But when it'll really get fun is for the next beta where we can get into the abyss and do some pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraggles Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Pay to play. In japan I think they're on a 'pay per hour' type thing. and people are paying roughly 15$ for 340 hours or something like that. That means you can play for 10 hours a day, for 34 days straight. I hope they do that system here because I'll only be playing 3-4 hours every few days due to an absurd work schedule. I think I'm going to get a laptop that can pwn the game and run it off there from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trag3dy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Don't quote me on this but I think it's been officially stated that we'll just have the standard monthly fee. I don't see any reason why they couldn't offer an hour by hour rate though. I think that will draw in a lot of people that work a lot and can't play very much. It'll lessen the whole "I have to play 400 hours a month to get my moneys worth" attitude. Then again, the game offers player run stores/shops so if people are paying by an hourly rate they'll go over the 15 dollars fairly quickly if they leave the store up 24/7.

trag3dy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 A little bit. I think I got a character to lvl 4 or 5. For these betas I'm rolling a asmodean cleric or chanter, but when retail comes around I'll be playing a asmo templar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
