Would be nice to see FP host the client  heh

What the hell ? Aion beta Key give a way sure yean right you have the link up there for a long time i don't see any point of keeping it up the if there are 0 keys left TAKE it OFF!!!! Getting peoples hopes up so they click on it just to be kick in the b@LLs

The DNS issue they were having last night and this morning seems to have worked itself out. We were able to start downloading after lunch today at around 400 KBs.

I have the new client installed now after 15 hours of downloading. I cannot log in however. Says invalid username/password combination. I checked and verified it is the same one. Could it be that it is just not this weekend yet so its not turned on?

p2p = peer 2 peer

If you find a p2p link for the NA client, let me know. Their broken launcher is shit.

Why does anyone want to play yet another "shitty point and clicky" (C) 2009, game?

This is WOW with wings :(

Seriously people go play something innovative like Darkfall or Fallen Earth. 

Because darkfall is an innovative turd, while Aion is a good same old.

And please, point and click? No wonder you don't want to play when you know shit about this game.

Having played Darkfall and Fallen Earth in beta (Darkfall into release) and played Aion-C (the worst version) I would gladly choose Aion.

Cheers!

For one know your facts,

Do you even know that this game is
"point and clicky?"

I played Aion at PAX 08',  i got invited to demo a two hour trial and got to level 7 in that time.

I play WoW i play GW.

Aion gives you the best of bothworlds imo, WoW is fun, sure, everyone knows it, its a popular game, but for me it lacks in creativity. It's become a generic MMO. I despise the character creation as well, you can't really get your personality out whatsoever.

Playing the Aion trial, the character creation is nothing like i've ever seen. It's up there with City of Heroes, but unlike that game, here we get Armor sets.

this Beta is going to kill, forums are going to flood with how epic this game is. If i were you, i'd belive the hype.

Coming from someone whos played almost every mmo game to date, this has been the most fun.

Yep. According to people like you, all games that have come out after wow are just wow clones. Right?

So we should all stick with the so called shitty original? Is that what you're saying?

Lol, or is it that you guys are always afraid that a new game may take the spotlight?

What is it? What is the reason you can never just be excited about a new game? Huh? WHY?

I downloaded the game and updated it and everything. Then i started it up just to see if it would work and be ready for friday! When i start it up my Moniter says "out of range" and turns off. I still hear the music and stuff in the background though. I alt tab and my screen turns back on.

Whats goin on? is there a way i could fix this? Any ideas before friday? I realy wana play! hehe

I think your problem is that its trying to load up on a 2nd moniter or its just loading off screen and in this case window out and look for the game tab at the bottem of the window, right click, and click move a couple of times. Also when you do this try putting it in windowed mode on a small resolution, it will make it easier.

Now for my inner fanboy, I got my key today and got the client all loaded and ready. I am giddy to try out Aion, though I dont know if I want to hit lvl 10 or not. I kinda want to save that for live!!!! Friday is gonna be amazing as I have cleared my schedule haha. My only hope is that after this beta event Ncsoft announces an actual date for the US release that is short in coming. I wont believe the date on gamestop and such till its actually announced! That way I can keep hoping for an earlier release hahaha.

oh this is so cruel..former Tabula Rasa players were supposed to get beta access and the note i got yesterday from NCSoft said to expext the iinvite in the next 1-2 days.....why do i feel screwed again

As for those crying about "only" 5,000 keys released in the world please read up before you post. Although I understand your plight all you have to do is go to a gaming store, pre-order the game, and BAM you have a beta key, yes its that simple and has nothing to do with luck. They give you slim game case with an Aion card containing a beta code which gaurentees you access to all their beta events!!!!!!!!! So get off the couch and to a gaming store near you if you want in the beta! You still have time!
 

yeah but my arguement is former TR players were GUARANTEED beta access and not a single one that I know have gotten jack as far as the beta goes.  Keys were gone here by the time i got off work too.

I can understand your plight sir as that is a valid reason. I am just trying to get word out about the beta opportunity that you recieve for pre-ordering. Not trying to target anyone. Plus at worst you'll get to start on saturday according to your post earlier about a 1-2 day wait for the beta info.

FU Mmorpg,

Yeah, next time also put they EU keys online when all Working EU Players are ASLEEP.

Yeah, put them up in the middle of our night so all freeloaders can get into the beta weekend again. Here, have some extra pot and beer to get you through. Sure, yes, we, the working people, will wait again and buy the game when it gets in stores. Facking lame event like this. At least give working EU people a fair change. Bastards.

I'm off to work. Good morning!

Was that only people who were active when they stated it would be closed?

I bought TR and played for a few months I never heard about this /shrug

Nothing to add.. just never knew this somehow.

Correct ACTIVE subscribers when they decided to can the game were the only ones given this Promo.... No i do not know the current status of this promotion. I will try to do some digging around about it tho.

Edit: On a side note, all those who said they got home too late, what shift is it you work? the keys ran out roughly at 9:00 PM pst for the NA beta.

I can almost smell the darkfall like hype-hate machine waiting for this game.. Those keys got gone FAST..lol..

im curious as hell... but it loooks like just another asian grinder..tbh.. like a lineage 3 or something..

What would make you say this? as everyone who has really tried the game says the "Grind" to max level is actually FASTER then that of what WoW was from 1-60 when it came out.

So again, where are you getting this impression or information that this game is going to be some great elaborate grind like Lineage where you ground for 2 weeks to get half a level... died once and lost it all... (little over exaderation i know)
