Aion

I was wondering ... will there be an open Beta in with we, the oversea people, can test Aion out?

Or will it be a closed Beta with Aion launching (shortly?) after it, this being in Q3-4 2008?

Anyone saw any official information about this?

Thanks in advance.

official we dont know yet.. but what we know is.. 2nd beta starting 03/08 in korea... release in korea normally in Q2 so around june/ july... then same time that korea release.. you will have the open beta in US and EU.. release is plan for begenning Q4 in US/EU... all this is not sure at all.. how could it be .. depend of the 2nd beta in korea and release !

The word is they are trying very hard to give us a US/EU beta, but nothing specific or dated ETA has been given. ^_^

any news about eu/na beta yet?

Unless you can speak/write Korean and can therefore assist with the development of the game, there's absolutely no reason for anyone to be in the Korean beta. Beta testing is to help develop a game, not play around for your own desire to see if you like it or not. Don't waste beta spots that could be used by real testers. The reason a lot of games launch with flaws is because of the selfish hundreds or even thousands of "beta testers" who just want a free preview of a game. So stop destroying the MMO industry with your selfishness.

wow little agrressive exgageration there... i mean iv played in tons of betas that i havnt reviewed but iv also played alot of betas that iv reviewed... likw Sword of the new world... i didnt review that and look its still there

Really now, was your post even needed? you act as if you made the game. Everyone plays for their own reasons regardless of the reasons the beta is there for in the first place. Stop playing beta police and let people alone to express themselves freely. Oh and for the record I will also be trying to get into the beta, not only for testing but also for my selfish reasons of getting a headstart on the game because I think it's the next best thing. Does that piss you off even more?
