Aion to Launch with Oceanic Server! | Aion™ Fantasy MMORPG

Aion to Launch with Oceanic Server!
September 16, 2009 5:04 PM

The key to launching an MMORPG of Aion's magnitude is communication. We been keeping everyone following the game aware of what our plans are and listened to your feedback, creating a dialog with you. We've also kept an eye on the various Aion communities, talked to Aion community members, and compared what they have said and requested with our beta test data. Based on all this input, we have decided to launch Aion with an Oceanic server set to GMT+10.

Our Oceanic communities have already masterfully executed unofficial polls indicating their server desires. To honor these community efforts, the North American server Nezekan will be adjusted to an Oceanic time zone and event schedule immediately. The server will however not be labeled as an Oceanic server right away, but we plan on changing that in a patch within the first two weeks after launch. We are doing everything we can until then to let everyone know about the plans for Nezekan's future time zone schedule to allow players to make informed decisions.

We experienced some frustrating technical difficulties with the surveys we launched early this week meant to help roleplayers and language-specific communities choose their unofficial game servers. Many Aion communities saw a need to coordinate their members and were much quicker than we were to organize surveys. We have decided to honor their hard work by permanently taking our own survey down, since we have no desire to interfere with what our great communities accomplish or cause confusion. We will continue to work with the fansites in our Fansite Program to promote their community survey results.

Stay tuned for more information on Aion's release, and be sure to follow us on Twitter (@aion_ayase, @aion_liv, @aion_xaen, @aion_amboss.

If you guys want access to the Aion GU Legion, just request it under groups. and we can add you.

Just gotta be patient with it, keep trying to open the window and eventually it'll give you a character select for Asmo only or either faction.

Seems like the more organised Asmo legions were trying to do it together.

[HeReTiC]

we still got 40 hours, we should be fine.

[Joshuayu101]

Well, it seems the races for the oceanic server at this time is unlocked

It doesn't take long if you keep on trying, it's an automatic race balance system.
