Can you please give me any official source on that?

Ive read the pre-cbt1 interviews about  the 9 sections (devs couldnt describe how big Abyss will be), then in April they released the pictures of the 3 Abyss maps (the same ones which were presented on G*07 on concept arts).  Jameinkaiser translated that one (Analyzing Abyss), it didnt mention a thing about 9 sections. In fact, they never mentioned the 'magic number 9' again since cbt1.

Maybe I missed some official comment or whatnot, but i got the feel we only have this 3 sections for release, and they will add possible layers later on, many months after launch.

Abyss test will be in stage 3. I dont think there will be more testing stages for every section of the Abyss, so unless they surprise us and pack all 9 sections into this test, there wont be more sections than that 3 :(

   Also the Abyss is all complete , good job NcSoft :)

Yeah, all the three layers of it..... what, we expected like 9 layers?

Im not quite sure 3 layers could offer enough  endgame activity for a long time, but well, who knows.

I remember theyve said how enourmous size Abyss will have,  i just cant imagine this 3 layers could fill all that role.

We'll see, we'll see,  im a bit worried though.

There are more ships like that, this is a simple transportation ship (or more like the Cylon resurrection ship from BSG)!

You can actually attack these ships, and after weakening them (since they are organic), deactivating shields, etc, you can invade them and as a raid dungeon, you can clear and destroy them from inside!!!

Thats why Abyss is the most awesome place in the world:)

They were banished from Atreia to an other dimensional plane, but after they managed to destroy the Tower (due to a betrayal), everything changed, the world became this twisted apple, and in the middle of the destroyed Tower huge portals opened. Since there is no balance and harmony in this world since the catastrophy, the Balaur can create portals between their world and Atreia.

So they live in an other dimension, but they are expanding their territory again, starting from the middle.

on the ground you can use click-to-move controls. Your choice.

Again, im not against paying well deserved money for their work.

Im against stuffs which are bothering me ingame when im about to play a fantasy game.

I play because i dont want to be bothered with real life in those hours, i want to emphatize myself into the game. Ingame cash-notify windows, coined items @ vendors..these are things that ruining my gameplay.

That is why i dont want coins.

Not to mention ingame economy and hard effort to get items...

yeah, but when they announced p2p in korea there was a rumour about a cash-shop for customization items... whats with that? Maybe this is the same thing...

God, i hope not.

How are you so sure that those stupid coins wont appear in the game?

I really really hope you can give us some statement about this (i havent seen one so far), coz i live in fear since they came up with those coins... I havent waited for this game for 2 years (spending 18hrs every day with Aion adv) just to  realize this will have that idiot system. I would gladly pay 3x more for monthly fee, just dont ruiin my ingame fun with those non-fantasy elements  Cash-windows would bring into it.

i would gladly help with aion news.

However i think the main reason for the lack of news is that till NC doesnt start its own advertising projects in eu/us, this site is  not  interested in the game, since they wont get money for it. Why do you think WHO and AoC is on the main page whenever a single new screenshot arrives? Money, money, money.

Little correction here:

- CBT cap in stage 1 was 25, stage to will be extend it  to 35. There was never an announcement about OB.

- Asmodian dont grow wings is an old thing. They wont have feathered ones, instead they have bat-like ones.

- The "weather affects skills' feature was removed from the game,  however will affect the growth of crafting materials and other things.

- There was no press release about "no dungeons in Aion". Theyve said from beginning 10% of the game will be instanced. For story missions and for some raids.

- Raids (or Force as koreans refer to it) will be with 4 party max, which is 24 players.

- There will be set bonuses, but only in end-game contents.

- THERE ARE NO ANNOUNCED RELEASE DATES!!!!!!!! only estimated ones, which are highly doubtful.

(best estimated release in Korea is May-June and Sept-Nov EU/US release)

Here's the announcement for Second Phase CBT

Or check any aion fansite for an english version.

Also, the extended customization movie can be downloaded in HD @ the off. eu website:

WMV format
MOV format

this vid and those characters were created for the korean gamers, thats why they look like that,  but if you look closely, you can notice western type characters as well.  No worries:)

funny thing is, thats not even the final version of the customization. They said at g*07 that there will be ~42 different options to modify things on your body:)  

Aion - Aion - Aion - no more games till then.

The game will be 100% translated (text. audio) to Engllsh, Chinese, French and German.  + we can choose voices for our characters.
