Thread: Aion

Anyone preordered this yet?

I did it today just to get the beta key for this weekend to see if I will play it later on or not.

Yes it does have the anime style to it but it seems to be more polished than any other MMO I have played as of late (and I have played almost all of them).

Beta starts on Saturday.

Its sexy, sleek, looks polished (past beta stages). First quest line if you actually read it all brings you in depth to the whole world.

Crafting seems simplistic but yet satisfying, you even get xp for gatering (not much however). Buying and selling items just got so much more simplier. You can basicly sit down and put items for sale via an automated shop interface anywhere ingame. You dont even have to click approve you can be pretty much afk (after you set prices of items)

The music is top notch and it all ties in with how much health you have. If you have played Maple Storey it sounds simlar in the fantasy aspect. But funnly enough it all works together.

The cut scenes ingame look very nicly and it is not pre rendered. It appears to be using the crytec engine(it says so on startup). It is the sexyist mmo I have played coming alot infront of LoTR:O.

Lag is to be expected in a beta whilst they polish netcode and is noticable say once or twice every 20min or so but I'm not complaining.

I am quite happy with the games first 6 hours, and as such with only playing this long no other mmo has sucked me in for a sitting that long at the start.

AION - New upcoming MMO - Gamers Underground
3 Years for a game they must be happy with how it has come.

downloaded and played it yesterday. ****ing AWESOME looking game. so many awesome things from Wow, War, Lineage 2, LOTR all put together. cant wait till there are a group of us playing. should be ****ing fantastic.

I am on Nezekan for the moment playing on a character called NoHealz. Dom is the same playing on Papadom. Hit us up ingame or on xfire or steam or something.

just bought it too - sigh.. better not interfere with my Champions Online time when that comes out ;P

how do i add it to my existing NCSoft profile? does it give you the serial number when you install it?

edit: nvm found it

answering your own questions on forums for the win

I pre-purchased it too. The DL didnt finish til after B4 finished though :p

Bring on July 31st.

i didnt answer it on the forum - i just negated it

(it didnt give it to me when i installed it because i didnt install - being at work and all - can only fit city of heroes on here )

but going into the game properties and clicking the visit aion website button takes you there with the serial number

did anyone in the beta manage to reach level 10?

Just ordered it then. Cant wait to try it out.

Hope someone can get gamegaurd to work in wine, cbf installing vista again.

Just got to 10 this morning at 2am. Was definatly worth staying up to get to the cut scene and selecting specialisations.

For your level 10 skills you need about 12k in game currency for all ya skills (dont go out an buy a nice weapon with ya money as you will reget it).
