There was the Korean Beta and an the European Beta a while back, I don't know if it's still open or not.

Why don't you ask your friends? If they're playing it they're more likely to know.

Also go to the AION website and look up the fansite page here as some of these sites are quite helpful with any other questions you may have about AION:

You would think with the amount of threads around about Aion that this was a Aion fansite...

I think this may be the wrong forum , you would probably be better asking on one of the forums that is actually something to do with Aion , here may be a good start.

You can get the game right now....but you can't play it until they have a beta weekend.

https://secure.ncsoft.com/cgi-bin/St...en&category=14

If you buy the CE you will have access to the closed betas, open betas, and a 2 day head start. I am only refering to North America, don't know about EU Aion info. I played the closed beta last weekend, and there will be other closed betas in the near future.

The best Aion website by far for NA is: www.aionsource.com

Aion is on closed beta/ release date 23rd Sept

To reiterate some of above.

beta keys are given if you pre-order from various sites for e.g amazon gamestop,play.com ect and most importantly direct from NCsoft themselves
which is then linked to your master account same as Guild Warsjust to mension a few.

Really as this is guild wars go to aion or ncsoft for fuller info as they have there own forums /fansites ect

I have the ce edition from ncsoft so its digital download

Gennadios · Jul 08, 2009, 10:25 PM // 22:25

Um... why not ask your friends/guildies how they got in?

That's odd, I just checked it and I went to the American site. Who knows...

Neo Nugget · Jul 09, 2009, 06:36 PM // 18:36

Well, this isn't a Guild Wars question, and the OP appears to be banned. There also seems to be a few Aion threads in the Offtopic section.
