I believe him, and obviously others do too.

....

. I will take any info from anyone, as i'm sure others would also.

Sorry, for pointing out false and misleading informations that could hurt some minor part of the community, not to mention the credibility of a precious fansite.

If something is about Aion and its community, I take everything kinda  personally... simply because I'm one of the fans too, and when there's a chance to avoid confusion, I'm trying my best to clear things up.

lol.. kidding.

lol I am mad , I didnt get an invite to this fight!!!

 I'm READY who wants some!!!!  

Just j/king .

Damm that user for getting my hopes up. In retaliation, I'll make fun of him not being able to speak 'engrish fruentry'

:D

Well I have been involved in doing localization for a game and I just do not believe an organization like NCSoft won't at least be doing an extensive closed beta cycle for Aion localization.  MMO's today are far more complicated than they used  to be and players demand a polished product.  I am sure NCSoft is very aware of that fact.

So I will be quite skeptical of anyone claiming that there won't be one.  

It's pretty common knowledge that there won;t be a beta for Aion in NA/EU. 

Now normally, I don't get pissed off on forums but As for you Devil, I'm not mad about fake information, I'm pissed that you fucking copied hellrose's translation and put it off as being your stupid fansite's.  WTF? I think me and most of the 15,000 members of Aionsource would be apalled and INSULTED by this offense.  Do us a favor and stay away from any other forums about Aion because what you have done is totally UNACCEPTABLE.

Aiononline --> NCsoft's official US website

When will the beta test start?
In lieu of beta testing, Aion fans will be given opportunities to participate in a small number of Preview events before the game's release. In addition to soliciting player feedback, the Preview events will help prepare for Aion's release, as well as provide a great gaming experience on launch day and beyond.

As with Aion's release date, the schedule of these Preview events will be announced in coming months.

As in using the same account without having to pay anything apart from the monthly fee?

 

Yeah, if I remember correctly I downloaded WoW from the original site, then upgraded to a p2p account after my free trial period was over. They started billing me only the monthly fee, the only thing I had to pay for were the expansion pack I missed which I think was only $30.

So yeah, hopefuly this is how they do it. I never read where they said there will not be a NA CB or OB, that would make sence though because they have spent so much time on testing sofar. I really don't mind not having a beta here, everyone starts on the same pace, fine by me.

Yeah you're right for the Korean Open Beta, you don't have to buy the actual game to continue playing after the OB, just pay the monthly fee and you're good to go.

Sad thing is, seeing as there probably won't be an OB for EU/US, we will have to pay for the game q. q

And oh, just because it launches soon in Korea, doesn't really mean it's getting close for a Western release. I'd say atleast half a year until it's released. Faster depending on if they have a company releasing it here in europe/states and such. Buut yeah, only time will tell.

 

In fact you are wrong This is Corea :

 

Non-European names are romanized with a "C" (Cambodia, Canada, cocoa, Comanche, Congo, and even old Canton, for example) except where the first letter is followed by an "e" or an "i", (as in Kenya). Other than that, the "K" spelling is used only in connoting childlike ignorance of spelling conventions ("Kitty Kat" and "Skool", for examples).
Therefore, the American "K" spelling is

1. offensive from a historical standpoint (remember "Peking" and "Canton"?);
2. violates western rendering conventions;
3. suggests a lack of sophistication toward Corea; and
4. by connoting naiveté, imputes a lack of sophistication to Corea and its people.

The Corea rendering will ultimately become universal when more Americans are educated as to the offensive and relatively recent origin of the "Korea" rendering.

There you can see the the complete article about this. www.goldsea.com/Air/Issues/Corea/corea.html.

Thank you. That was really interesting. (The link as well) So it is really "Corea". I will remember that.

No you don't, and lying on an online gaming forum is pathetic.

Explain why they would jump right to Open Beta for Westerners, when CB has not even been discussed yet, NCsoft never (and I mean NEVER) skips the closed beta phase. Regardless of testing having been done on the same product in a different region.

You posted some legit info, and for that you have my thanks, the rest of the thread is, and will continue to be, useless.

NCSOFT have already said there will be no beta in EU and NA, they have done all the testing they needed in Korea....only thing that needs testing in EU and NA is translation.

To thank our loyal Tabula Rasa fans we've prepared a little closing down gift. Any active paying player as of 10:00 AM Pacific Time on November 21st, 2008 will be eligible for all of the following:

No, he's correct.

They will be having a "sort of" beta, but it's not a beta like you are thinking.

They announced that they would be doing beta preview events. From the sounds of it, it seems like it is remininscent of the Guild Wars preview events.

Lineage 1- 10 years and has 1 million active subs

Lineage 2- 5 years and has 2 million active subs (100k na and eu)

Guild Wars - 4 years  and has 5 million players

city of h/v - 5 years 100k+ subs NA and EU

No I am not a TROLL I am just PO'ed that after promising to keep TR open just days after everyones accounts renewed they device to close the game.

As far as lineage and the other NCSoft games go.  Those are not new games.

Given NCSofts CURRENT track record dont be surprised if you play the game for a year or less before they close this game as well.

People who played TR are being given a free beta account for Aion.

Thats a poor substitute for peoples time invested in TR.

Auto Assault developed by Net Devil only distributed by NCSoft

Tabula Rasa designed by Richard Garriot and other people coming from UO, revamped in NCSoft under the direction of Richard Garriot. Distributed by NCSoft

Guild Wards developed by Arena.net (currently absorbed by NCSoft) distributed by NCSoft.

Lineage I and II Developed and distributed by NCSoft.

Aion Developed and distributed by NCSoft.

May be it will tell something to you

I understand your frustration.  I felt something similar in Asheron's Call 2, when Turbine shut down the game. The end begins (and ends).
