I was in love with this when I saw first pics & movies a few months back.
Too bad I don't have the time to play mmorpgs, this would be the first one I would really want to play.

Found some chick reading a book, took a screenshot

lol awesome


edit:

for the ppl who are getting the game, we should set up which world/servers we will be playing in.
Title: Re: [MMORPG] AION
Post by: ebc on September 14, 2009, 10:40:24 AM
Yeah true, although I'm usually still at work when you guys might be online. I only just get home right now (at time of posting this) so that's the soonest I can do anything with you guys if you're still on.

Ok reading the forums, the Aussie players are going to be playing on Nezekan so if anyone wants to join me I'll probably be on that one too lol
Title: Re: [MMORPG] AION
Post by: Asmodai on September 15, 2009, 12:25:39 AM
All the beautiful screen shots made me cave. Looking forward to seeing what it's like.

Post by: limitbreaker02 on September 15, 2009, 03:13:49 AM
Ahh, I missed the beta. Looks real pretty though. It's like an updated version of WoW. Hope they have some kind of trial of some sort.

But then again I don't know if I have the time. I bought a 360 mainly so I can stop playing WoW.

So you're getting it Mugen? What will happen with you and your PS3 games? :P
Title: Re: [MMORPG] AION
Post by: Mugen on September 15, 2009, 03:48:45 AM
lol im playing both.
Title: Re: [MMORPG] AION
Post by: ebc on September 15, 2009, 04:09:26 AM
hehe I think I'll just be playing Aion when I'm bored, I know there's a lot of serious players on there but from playing the beta I think it can be really fun just playing it at your own pace doing whatever you want to do without having to have to be the best at the game to have fun.

I'm looking forward to Uncharted 2 when that comes out so won't be playin Aion all the time.
Title: Re: [MMORPG] AION
Post by: ebc on September 18, 2009, 03:41:14 PM
So who's ready for the pre-selection? Only 5 hours to go.
I got my alarm set for 4:45am lol
Title: Re: [MMORPG] AION
Post by: Asmodai on September 18, 2009, 05:00:54 PM
Ouch on the time. I'm all ready. Leaving the NCSoft Launcher open so the game will update as soon as the patch comes out.

I'll update when I'm done. :)
Title: Re: [MMORPG] AION
Post by: Asmodai on September 18, 2009, 07:31:40 PM
Patch is out now. No GameGuard! (Yay!)

90 minutes to go.

And now it's gone from the launcher. Looks like a bumpy day.
Title: Re: [MMORPG] AION
Post by: ebc on September 18, 2009, 08:03:30 PM
:o crazy lol
I just woke up now and ran the launcher. It basically doesn't find the update server so I decide to go straight to plan B and setup an SSH tunnel to the US (something a lot of Aussies have to do to get through the lag of this game). It connects straight away and updates 5mb.

Now it's just a matter of waiting 56min from now before I attempt my first login :O

If anyone needs the update here's a megaupload link, just put this file into the game directory (aion folder) and try restarting the launcher and hitting update it should detect it and update.

Thanks!

I'm all updated, got the launcher back and told Avira to ignore the file, so I should be good to go. :)

Damnit! someone else took the name Yoona while i was creating my character T_T
At first it said name was available but once I was done making the character look like Yoona it said the name was taken T_T
ohwell, I just went for Yoonatron instead. But my 2nd character is Sica :p and I took longer to make her so she looks a little bit more like real jess, but Yoonatron doesn't really look like real Yoona T_T

Up to level 19 now and starting to get more into the group content.

It's definitely a lot harder than WoW - but that's kinda nice in some ways.

I can't decide what type of character I want to be so I've just been leveling 4 up at at time XD I mostly just grind on the laptop at work.
(http://www.eyeballcancer.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/normal_Aion0058.jpg) (http://www.eyeballcancer.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/Aion0058.jpg)

But I'm kinda stuck at the moment because most of the quests now are group based and I can only do that on weekends so it'll take awhile to gain levels from now on lol.
My latest character is a Cleric I've been enjoying cause I like randomly healing other people when they are low and giving them buffs :p but then I don't really like grouping up with strangers cause I just like doing my own thing and sometimes get easily amused by little things in the game (like gliding XD)  and I die a lot.

This is my Cleric I named her Computer
But she kinda looks like Okada Yui maybe? XD I dunno
