Edit, YOu can select your name on the 18th, and you can get in on the 20th to the real game to play. Europeans get a 5 day head start. The game itself is truly released to the rabid masses who did not pre-order on the 25th.

Ty ty ty, that was what i was looking for

I'm thinking of more and more questions as the night goes on... I read something about resetting my password for Aion. But i don't know if i still need to do it, and why, and how... Any answers to that too?

Password resetting, because we're old beta-farts who were here from the beginning! You have to do this if you account was created before the end of June... and I'm sure yours was. Just go login here: https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/plaync_login.pl

Then click on the little "Aion" section in the list to the right. Mine has Guildwars and some otehr games listed with Aion.


If it doesn't say "You're ready!" like below, click the link the arrow points to and change your password. You can change it to the same password that it was. It just needs to be reset... due to different encryption methods orso.



Cheers,

Letter from Aion Producer Brian Knox on Open Beta
September 3, 2009 2:08 PM

Hello!

Welcome to the Open Beta Test for Aion in both Europe and North America.

Below you will find a list of the major changes and additions to Aion since you last participated in our Closed Beta Test. We have done our best to provide a comprehensive list of changes. The Open Beta brings the game content up to the 1.5 patch that is available in Korea; the same updates that were made to the Korean live servers are being implemented here, as well. While there may be some differences when comparing the official NA/EU notes to fan site translations of Korea's official notes, the game content is the same.

Not only does Open Beta bring a number of game improvements and additions, you'll also notice that we had a major terminology overhaul to complete our effort of Westernizing the game. Many skills and items have changed since the Closed Beta Test and should be a welcome surprise as you explore the world.

While we feel the Open Beta version will provide a complete experience, we wanted to note that this is not our final update before launch. Our launch version is in internal testing, and it will continue to flesh out the 1.5 update with the help of your feedback and experiences in Open Beta.

Please remember this is an Open Beta Test, and while our goal is to provide you with a flawless Aion experience, there are behind-the-scenes infrastructure tests happening to prepare for launch. One very important area that will affect everyone is that we will be balancing races as folks rush to log into the servers. As a result, you may get a "This race cannot be created" message because that server is starting to become unbalanced. It's important to us that we try and keep a balance of the races during the Open Beta of Aion. If you come across this message, please feel free to try another server or wait until the server balance has tipped back.

Another hot topic has been our Web site and whether we will be bringing over some of the services that Korea has provided to their community. The short answer is yes! Just like the PowerWiki, we will be bringing some of these services to our own site. We hope to begin rolling them out in the coming weeks.

Overall, we are very excited for Open Beta - it is a culmination of a lot of effort and the feedback of our community. For example, one of the most requested features during Closed Beta testing was a suggestion to use the left mouse button to change the camera. We also added more content both in the persistent game world and in instanced dungeons. You'll see this change and many others were added in this game update, including:

1. New Areas: Theobomos (Elysea) and Brusthonin (Asmodae)
2. New Instances!
3. Over 40 new default faces have been added to character creation.
4. Increased PvPvE rewards
5. UI changes (click-to-move has been disabled by default)
6. New items!
7. New skills + increased balance
8. Tons of new quests.
9. Advanced Stigma Stone System
10. Chat Channels
a. Class
b. Region
c. Looking For Group
d. Languages

Find a full list of patch notes here.

With this update there is a lot of great content and a very fun world to explore, and we hope that during Open Beta you will experience the magic that is Aion.

Open Beta starts 9 a.m. PDT (5 p.m. BST, 6 p.m. CEST) on Sunday, September 6th.

Brian Knox
Producer, Aion

read the news Sector take a look go ..

( so your a bit late )

I don't find the time for playing, only the date.

Edit: Ok, found it...Nevermind. D:

Just a heads up.
Connected today to play GW.

There is a new patch out.
Its only 25 Mb but if everyone is logging in tomorrow to start the OB, it could swamp the update server.

I have seen speeds on it of 2Kb/s when busy.

Thanks for the heads up, Woolf... I'd have been a very sad panda if at 6pm tomorrow, I found I had to patch again! Updating now

Hey all. Im back from Austria
Hello to the new members, PEACE
i installed the patch and downloading this 25 mb now....so just 1 h and 10 min to go i guess
