AION: The Tower of Eternity

[Maester]

I'm pretty sure there was a post about Aion somewhere but I'm way to lazy to find it so I'm just gonna complile shit about the game here. Feel free to add anything you guys find =) So far from what I've seen via screenshots, videos and artwork it looks pretty good but doesn't it all until the game is released, right?

Hello Korea!!!!

[Hellboar]

allright im going to give this game a shot. me and NCNA have a past, and if they fuck this one up...im not gonna be happy.

[Xenorush]

Same, gonna give it a shot and see how it goes.
Anyone know when its coming out?

[Draegan]

I've been following this game on and off for a while. Looks good, definitely going to try it out. Hopefully they start updating their US site with news and such.

AION Community managers on boards like www.aionsource.com have stated this game will be released this fall (2008) in the EU/NA. Korean release should be around the same time as well, probably first.

Close Beta Phase 2 begins April 8th and will go until April 27th.

Here is another video which is pretty decent:

The striking resemblance with Lineage2 gave me the creeps when ive heard of this game and soon later realizing that it's being produced by PlayNC only furthermore increased that feeling. I just cant understand what makes the basis of korean grindfest games interesting to some players. Having to endure 2 years of non-stop grinding, no matter how awesome the game looks to finally be able to do some near impossible end game content is of no appeal to me.

Then again thats just my opinion based on my L2 experience (which i sadly regret). And imo the gameplay in TR was simply horrendous, which destroyed what little faith i had of PlayNC ever releasing a good game (do note i never tried guild wars).

okay Lineage 2 is the best pvp game ive ever played, personally. all bias aside, NCSofts American department has 0 control over anything. Every patch, every update every minor change they have no authority over, you have to sit and wait for the korean patches to come out, and then for them to be translated, and nothing is tweaked for the American player. The GMs cant get anything done, chinese farmers take over, and it all becomes a shitstorm. If NCsoft is actually letting the american department DO SOMETHING this game has hope.

Don't suppose anyone had an account that was part of CBT1 that no longer wants to use it? :/

Have to have a Korean SSN to have one so these accounts are few and far between.

CBT2 started today though. NA/EUR CBT is coming.

KSSN generators arent that hard to find. I took part of every beta test in L2.
