Just my 2 cents here...

    I'm currently playing Aion because i do enjoy the game to it's fullest and can actually provide a challenge. Aion is a great game, along with WoW, and many other games. For myself as an example,  i hate EvE. The game is not my play style and i really don't have time to sit there for three hours to jump a galaxy. It's just not fun for me.. at all. Yet games like Aion and WoW are.

        The game was well made, and well done. granted the botters suck and the grind can be rough, but all in all the game is very well rounded. Sure the " end game content" isn't the most wonderful, but why would it be? there is something called the abyss? mostly of what the game IS directed at, hence the title "aion : tower of eternity". Just stating a fact.  Either way it brings players closer together as a community because you actually HAVE to play together to survive. Even if you're grouped or not. you're level 25 going into the abyss? good luck :). You need those other people there. You mean the other faction rifted over with a huge alliance and are owning the crap out of the "safe" camp and you?? oh.. guess you should call for help. lol

     Either way, if you left the game because there was no solo pvp/instanced pvp, or not enough end game content. then you shouldn't have even started, because that is not the games focus. The instances are an 18 hour shut out for crying out loud lol. The Focus was PVPVE  Elyos vs Asmodian vs Balaur .  :)

Either way good gaming to yall... going to hop back on in game and see who i get to kill next.

eh, it's whatever i guess, just sort seems a bit nit- picking now imo. but i guess i can see where you are comin from.

ok, just so there aren't any stupid flames here in this thread. I did buy the game when it came out the first day of release at Gamestop.  My mother board was fried and had another one on the way in the mail so i could play warhammer. I DID have a dvd drive that COULD have installed the game, but since in does not work now i need to know if there is a client of some sort. IF THERE IS NOT ONE, then do i email mythic? do i email EA? who the hell do i talk to? 

 ANY

         Advice would be great :) , sorry if this thread comes out a little wrong but i don't think people understand how tight of a budget people are on now adays, so no, i cannot run out and by a new drive at this time.

It's more about PvE, and probably always will be. They're trying to fill in the PvP game a bit now. An issue was just released which rebalanced PvP considerably, and SuperGroup bases are in the middle of a big redesign as well to encourage group vs group Base Raids.

However, PvP is completely separate and avoidable.

RP has pockets here and there, but Virtue has been adopted as the unofficial RP server. If that's your thing I would start out there.

ah , alright then. my biggest thing is im just really , really trying to get away from the whole wow seen and try something new. i was looking at EvE as well. i just wasn't to sure. i really like the scifi/ super hero concept, and if the rp and pvp is that great i might subscribe lol.i appreciate your input.

i understand there is a client download for the beta. but since the game has been live now for awhile, i guess i just would have thought there was a client download so i could actually just try the game. 

I DO HAVE THE GAME BOUGHT. i just cant install it. i need a client download.

now is COV/COH leaning more towards pvp, or pve? i like the RP bit that i was reading,  it seems the server "virtue" has more of the community for that. Im downloading the free trial now to see how i like thegame. im just trying toget away from WoW and i have a child on the way. and advice, input would be great.

just as topic says, can any one link me a client download for the game, my dvd drive is busted.

You do NOT need to wipe your HD, and XP does NOT write to the motherboard at all. So long as your copy of XP Home isn't an upgrade you can install straight over the top of your XP Pro and get it all working.

Else you could attempt to repair your XP Pro install for the new MB. If you are able to boot to safe that is.

oh wow really?

The product key from the Home Edition CD will not work on the Pro Edition.  This is because the key is written to the specific OS.  That OS also writes itself to the motherboard to prevent installing it on multiple systems.  You would need to wipe the pro edition and install the home edition to use that key.

If you are talking about having the CD-Key that came with your Pro Edition, but don't have the Pro Edition CD to re-install.  Using the Home Edition to repair also will not work with the Pro-Edition CD-Key.

ah ok i gotcha, so i MUST then wipe the hard drive of the "pro" edition first. i gotcha. thanks for your help then. but i am not quite sre what the cd key is to be honest ( lol ) i have 2 pro and 1 home. but the disc is home :) lol.

When you install a New OS, you first have to format and completely wipe the drive.  So what I would do first is hook the drive up to another machine to take out those files you want to keep.  (Note:Most if not all applications you will need to re-install with the OS since they have driver related issues otherwise).  This should be possible because if it boots from another machine it boots from the primary drive, and the other drive is readable since it is formatted in NTSC.

Once backing up your important data is done.  You hook your hard drive back up, boot up and open the boot menu.  The screen will tell you which button on boot.  It usually is F8 or F2.  Open your DVD/CD tray and insert the disk.  Then choose to boot from your DVD/CD drive.  It will then ask you if you want to boot from CD press anykey.  It will switch to a new screen and it will take some time to load the files from the CD to memory.  Also during this process if you want to setup RAID you press F3. 

Once this is done it will ask you what you would like to do.  Install a fresh copy of windows, Repair an Old Copy, or Cancel.  Don't choose repair, it will merely take you to a DOS prompt in which its hard to work from.  Choose the install a new copy. 

It will then display partitions you can install on as well as an option to wipe a drive.  You would need to first wipe your 80GB HD by scrolling to the NTSC Partition related to it and pressing the key related to the delete option.  Naturally, it will ask for comfirmation then procede to wipe the drive.   You will also need to wipe any additional partitions on that drive.  When done whiping you should have 1 partition on the drive called unallocated that should be relatively close to 80GB.

Next choose to install or format that drive.  For the Format type I would recommend NTSC over NTSC Fast.  After its done formatting it will immediately progress to installing the OS.  From here on out it is pretty straightforward.  Choose your language, time, enter your key, and input your internet settings. 

After this is done comes the long part, installing updates.  Luckily SP3 is a cumulative update and should be installed ASAP after drivers that came with your motherboard.  After that just use Microsoft/Windows Updater and install all the updates available.

i know how to do all that. the problem im haveing is i have a home edition of windows xp, i use pro edition. the hard drive should be fine and ready to go. i have a completely different product key. can it work?

i honestly , do not like obama at all.  Granted  the other candidate is not the greatest either, but i know for a FACT that obama should NOT be running this country.

probably not since u have pro version yet have a home edition cd with product code. what is the issue? are u installing a second harddrive? is this harddrive going to act as the main OS HD? what type of HD is it? ive had a SATA harddrive and a motherboard (MSI) in which i had to use a floppy to install SATA drivers into the computer in order for it to recognize the harddrive. you could have a similar situation. look up your motherboard manual (go to the motherboard manufacturer website for it) and see what u need to do in order to install new Harddrives.

i dont think home and Pro have the same drivers avialable. perhaps the base drivers but not all of them possibly, though i could be wrong.

well, see i just got a new mother board and hooked all of my old parts up to it. and it keeps on rebooting windows over and over again. My buddy told me i was needing to reinstall windows xp, which it shouldnt be to hard. i really do not know what to do in this case, never have had this problem. *Shrugs* my mother board is an " ELite group" ECS and im running an 80 gig hard drive. here is a link to my mother board.
