The reason you get booted out of the game with a bad login or failed login is to prevent spam login. Imagine if everyone who couldn't log on because it was queued and all 10,000+ of them were just holding enter waiting to login. That would cause some major problems. Obviously there's been no word about it, but I'm assuming that will be changed a bit into retail. However I do agree on the long NCSOFT logo screen.

 I agree, but that mutual lack of content is okay as long as it's compared to WoW. According to most of the people coming to Aion from WoW. :)

 Lol, now. Servers are going down in a bit

 Said it in game.

 Al Gore resigned. 

Sorry, had to say it.

 Makes sense. Hadn't heard that though. Where'd you get that info sorrow?

 How is windows 7 compatibility as far as other games? I'm waiting for sure, but  is it only the new games that wont work?

 Look at the amount of problems they are currently addressing now. If it was your version of an open beta I don't think it would ever be fixed because there would be too many servers and way too much overpopulation. I think they did it the right way IMO.

 Actually....well said. I should stop trying to make sense of it to people. I'm glad they had this lag so they are more prepared to fix it in the future. However it could have been better if there were no beta keys and more servers. That way they'd be even more prepared. The only things I haven't liked about the game so far are....

1. Gathering Aether with flight time. (not really a bad part about the game, just kind of gets annoying to have to fly back down to rest. In eltnen ill normally just fight mobs while waiting.

2. The fact that there's not a flight path in Tolbias Village lol. (def can be overlooked)

And that's all that comes to mind right now.

I'm pretty sure the Lag and GG issues will be fixed after a few weeks, that's why I didn't mention those.

 I must be missing something then. I don't see how that gives you an advantage. Possibly in flight yes, but you have no comparison to give since you can't name many MMOs with aerial combat. How hard is running up to an opponent? The game had click-to-move set to default in CB and thats the only way to attack something with that sort of movement, that's why it's there.

 One of the main things I see people complaining about is running up to the mob or opponent in pvp when you use an attack.

The fix for the couldnt possibly be more simple. 

1. Press ESC (Options Menu)

2. Click Options 

3. By default it is already at the gameplay tab, if not click that.

4. Click  "Disable auto-approach target"

To some of you that leaves nothing else to complain about. For example the "Aion - Not that great thread. 

 drel, 

http://betaboards.aiononline.com/ more directly -- http://betaboards.aiononline.com//forumdisplay.php?f=7 It has been announced on multiple threads and acknowledged.

 Who from ncsoft said today or yesterday that this lag is a client side problem, sorrow? Haven't seen that yet.

 Daytona you should go to http://www.aionsource.com/  and check those forums.

You won't get much info here from people who have actually played it enough to compare the game to others or to review it.

 Many of us have played the CBTs so no I'm not wasting money, nor is it on something I haven't tried yet. You are still missing the point on the TOS. You paid for something that may not be available 24/7. The point of this OB is for more translations, 1.5 issues, and stress testing. The server's you are playing on are brand new on the East coast. That's going to take some time to figure out all the little and huge problems.

 This was posted on the official beta forums but seems like it needs to be reposted here as well.

"In alot of the threads i've been reading, people are complaining that they paid for the pre-order of the game to be able to play in these betas. They are stating that NCSoft is not providing the service they should. However, many are missing the fact that NCSoft does not guarantee gameplay at any time, for any reason. This especially holds true in beta."

And I'll add to that. Lag does not show incompetence of the game developers. They would much rather have this happen in open beta than at release. If it's fixed during the OBT period then it shows they will actually do their jobs. And Yes they have addressed the lag issue many many times. It's been mentioned in-game and all throughout the forums that they are actively working to fix it.

Please take your time to read the print that's available to you at any time you wish. They are working on the issues, and we'll get to play the game. Be patient."

 It is noon EST.

 There are many reasons, but I have 1 that is big enough it doesnt need the rest.

Every skill in the game hits when its supposed to. Unlike Warhammers long ass delay because of the bad coding.

That's good enough for me.

I'll keep this very short.

Guild of friends. Hardcore and Casual depending on when.

Check out the site any questions just ask me.

  “Is there any legitimate or realistic reason to believe that WoW won’t still be the number one MMO on the market in 2012?”

Yes.

Final Fantasy is the 6th best selling franchise in video game history. The only RPG to beat it is pokemon--and i don't see any future plans to make a pokemon MMO so that leaves FF.

And since they've said they are going to add many casual elements (which i realllly hope they dont add too many) that will make it big.
