Mabye NCSoft is a bit embarassed after the unbelievable amount of hype richard garriot put out.  I know I was... Each time he put out something new, it was like one of those movies where you know a character is going to do something really stupid and you just can't watch...

I also think that more publishin is totally unecessary, there are alot of starters for aion, why more? will the game get better because it has better publishing? hell no.

Um actuall, hell yes.  More publishing means more populatity, which means more customers, which means more revenue, which means more money for developement, which means more content and a better game.

Lack of publishing/advertising just leads to an unknown game that struggles to survive and eventually becomes free to play with an item mall, and patches/updates stop coming and everyone just loses interest.

Even though the game is "unknown/not heavily advertised" in the NA/EU, it sure is wellknown in korea. And if it gets even half of the subscribers that L2 had around launch (Which it probably will get) in korea, the EU/NA market can start slow, and then build up.

And still, when we are approaching launch, I can bet my *** on that NC will start advertising. This means that when people start hearing about it, it's almost time for launch! Imho I think that will be great. Alot of people start to lose interest when waiting for a game for 2 years, only for it to get pushed back. This way, people won't have to suffer from the long wait time and pushbacks!

And like I said at the beginning, Aion can afford to have a slow start in the NA/EU. Then if the game is good, advertising or not, people will come.

It sure encourages me, and Im sure many other people will take these words with enthusiasm.

You have no idea!    

theres always 1 or 2 guys saying Aion isn't gonna make it or Aion just copies WoW  yadayadayada but theres always 5-6 other people proving better points / facts about Aion making them look bad

Well I'm from Europe, and the only thing that shines in my eyes atm is AION. I dont like AOC or WAR Graphics/Gameplay. Aion in the other hand just seems perfect...

A part of me tells me that i cant wait a single day more for AION, However other part tells me, that the more the game is in beta/testing, the better it will be when i get my hands on it :)).

Well... going on topic again, i guess all we AION lover's have to wait for European/NA beta fase, i do hope that the people that will have the chance (i hope i'm one of them) to go to EU/NA Beta, really make a good job on reporting issues/bugs/advices, and dont simply go there to "play" as it was final version :p .

Time to go work now, Cya All fellow gamers :)!

Hehe, I'm glad your so excited for this game and great for you :D.  I however, seem to think this game is going to be another lineage 2.  Great graphics, and somewhat creativity in the spell/damage department, but that is all.  I will say I haven't read much into it, but i just have that premonition about it with it's lineage-esque grinding etc..  But you see it differently and that's what opinions are all about :) Goodluck getting into beta :D

We try our best. ;)

Yes, we're currently planning to hold a beta for EU/US. Unfortunately I can't give you any dates or specifics yet.

Awww. I've been waiting so looooong.

You might end up surprised, this game isn't here to kill L2 or be killed by the upcoming L3, this is directed towards another audience ^^

I was wondering whether the release date for Aion has been set.

I went to Amazon and they say it will be released on October 30. Just wanted to know if that was accurate or just an estimation on their part.

*sry if its slightly off-topic O.o

Thats for sure! Ive been waiting since the time when Aion was just a footnote in the NCsoft site. O.o;; Soo very looong...

*dies*

Will the beta be available to the Oceania ? ( Australia and etc)

daym man that review makes me like aion more :S

I just pray they change the anime looking character models for the western version, really cant stand at looking at anime characters.  other than that game looks perfect.
