You do know what fantasy means right? Might want to rethink what you just said.

It's really nice that NCSoft prefers to have lotteries for beta access on fansites and ignore the people who have, from the beginning,  been registered on the official site.

Thanks NCSoft.

So went out to gamestop today and got a beta key for Aion for 5 bucks.  My account for NCSOFT says that Aion is playable. So looks like I get to play this weekend after all..only I had to pay 5 bucks :P

I have a key. Been downloading it for 12 hours now. 75% done.

/sigh

Sorry about your luck...but look at it this way.

It gives those who have ignored the game from the beginning and never registered at the official site a chance to ...oooohhh...I think I see what ya mean.

Once you finish the download...can u play the game at all?  Or we won't be able to log in until this weekend?  I thought I'd at least be able to mess with character creation before this weekend. 

It is so unfortunate that a game like Aion send only 5,000 copies in the world having more than that amount, I think you should enlarge a little more for the next you see the number of licenses for future betas.

Its more than 5, 000 other websites are doing give aways as well, although most of them ask you to enter a competition of somesorts. On mmorpg, you get them without any additional effort :)

Is this a p2p download or direct download off their website? Most launchers use p2p and im wondering cause comcast blocks p2p for me.

p2p = peer 2 peer

Its a direct download via the NCsoft launcher :) 

Its a wee bit slow at the moment but you will have plenty of time to download it for the weekend.

I also got a key though not from this site but I signed up in here just to type in this thread.

Just to put some more on the fire, I downloaded with around 2700 Kb/s :D

I'm really looking forward to try this specially the flying :)

Would be nice to see FP host the client  heh

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?
