Ya know,

every weekend the beta servers are open that's when my schedule fills up.  I swear I had nothing to do but sit on my backside last  week...  Yet this weekend I've already got plans for 2 out of the 4 days.

 

The event before this beta was on the US independence day holiday...  Cmon NCSoft, pick the weekends I'm not busy.  I had to ditch all of my alts just to try and make one character to 20. 

LineageII | LoTRO | RFO | 9Dragons | Aion | Perfect World | Ether Saga | Dungeon Runners | GuildWars | Hellgate London | tCoS | Warhammer | AoC | Tabula Rasa

Get her hooked too, and preorder for her so she can enjoy the beta events with you!  I love playing mmos with my bf, we have a great time :)

Haha same, my girlfriend is in her aunts house babysitting the pets, and she asked if i would stay there the entire weekend, she knows iam following Aion, but i asked her if i could come Friday late in the evening so i can spend a few hours on the Aion beta.

She said that it's no problem at all   lucky me!  so i can still play a bit. really excited too.

I believe the correct answer should have been sorry darling but I'm alergic to cats/dogs/budgies/parrots/chinchilla's/rabbits.guinea pigs or any other household pet available and i will have to stay at home and play Aion.

Well to be honest, iam really am alergic to pets.. i have astma(not that heavy though) but i still am alergic to them, but you know.. i prefer to only play Aion for a couple of hours and then go to my girlfriend the entire weekend, i want to keep Aion a suprise to myself dont want to do alot of things again when headstart begins.

I have two words for you. "Strep. Throat."

She won't want to come near you for at least a week. Well, you may not want to go that far but hey, it's worked for me in the past. Great thing about strep is that you can get it over and over again since it's bacterial. None of that chicken pox crap where you get it once and never again.

I think it is a good idea not to go overboard on betas. As some others pointed out you can end up being burnt out on a game if you play it to "hardcore" with your desired class during a beta.

Games I've played:WAR, LOTRO, Tabula Rasa, AoC, EQ2, WoW, Vangaurd, LoTRO, D&DO, Lineage 2, Saga Of Ryzom, EvE Online, DAoC, Guild Wars, Star Wars Galaxies, Hell Gate London, Auto Assault, Grando Espada ( AKA SoTNW ), Archlord, CoV/H.

Games I Am Currently Playing:

Checking out Darkfall and Fallen Earth ( Taking a break from EVE )

Ooh, harsh. . .

Or you could just tell her that you would rather play a game than spend time with her and I am pretty sure you would get all the time alone that you would need. 

It's a Jeep thing. . .

Your either pretty young and inexperienced with women, or older and have been married or together with a woman for a while, and neither of you give a damn what the other does :P

I'm female and honesty does NOT work with most of us. Alot of women will say "just tell me the truth, be honest!" but they don't really want to hear it, or they're not prepared to deal with honesty in any way. I don't speak for all women, of course. I'm a gamer and I've been hitched for a while. I just don't care if my guy wants to go out fishing for hours. That means he's out of my hair and I can play my game(s). I get really tired of adult females who act like crying babies if their guy isn't fawning over them 24/7. Are they really that insecure?

And the whole concept of "being with her" instead of having fun in game? Why? Because "most" girls' idea of being with her really means doing what SHE wants to do. Like.... watching Twilight for the 100,000th time.

They need to come out with a Twilight MMO for these girls. Get them out of their guys hair for a while so they can meet us in game and have some real fun.

I didn't get  a chance to play 4th weekend, but I did get a chance to see it at my friends house.  I preordered it the next day. :D (unfortunately the day it ended).....

 

What time does it start exactly? I read one post that said it will start at 9pm (I forget what time zone) and I saw another post that had a converter that said it will start at 2 pm.... Any help here? I need to know how to play my friday.... :D 

 

I'm so hyped for this game.. -_- How hard will it be to get into the abyss in a weekend?

What's more sad is the fact that you really felt the need to put this person down for having fun and enjoying something.

We all can't be cool like you and just hate everything, so you'll have to forgive us for that.

ive been trying to get my girl to play an mmo with me. I figured since she already plays sims2 that it might not be that hard to get her to like it. Not true. :( I got some work to do lol.

LOL! I cringe at the thought of what that MMOG would look like... but then I'd probably have to try it out just to experience it first hand. It would probably look like that Twilight parody animated video that's going around. Epic. 8)
