None of the Hungarian shops are selling preorders atm, and I'm looking for CE actually.

aion was surprisingly fun. I found myself missing it after beta weekend. Can't wait to play on 19th. I was a warrior - gladiator. next time i'll try a mage. Flying was interesting. It was nice to come to edge of a cliff and jump off and glide. I want to find out more

I think i'll have to buy aion. GW has really become stale nothing new, pvp became mediocre.

Aion is amazing. Can't wait until the next beta, and the next, and the next....

oh, and the final game. Have the CE preordered.

Yep. It's very rare that I actually find myself enjoying one of these new MMO's, but this one did it.

I hope I have enough time to play this game when they release it. It looks great!

I came across this review of a lvl 50 Korean player, talking about both the good and the bad parts of the game:
Click

I'm glad he also mentioned it's not really a grind game since it took him 2 months of casual play (2-4 hours a day) to reach lvl 50. Also, the portal and boss raids sound awesome!

I look forward to playing the betas more than any released MMO.

Neo Nugget · Jun 18, 2009, 04:12 AM // 04:12

Would I be able to download the game client before a beta weekend to see if it works beforehand? I have a new laptop, but I have no idea how to compare the system reqs to my system settings.

Despite what people say about me, I actually know very little about computers

Yes. It will get you to the login screen, which is enough to see if it's installed and connected properly.

Got a link? My searches have had little to no success. I guess i found my graphics card type, no clue how good it is for gaming though. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, along with a 4g RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.

It will run pretty fine if you ask me.

By the way, you can also try out the chinese version of Aion for like what, 0,10$/2hours. (Yeah, you can play it for that much)

Empress Amarox · Jun 18, 2009, 08:46 PM // 20:46

I downloaded the whole thing in like 4 hours. Pumpkin, have you tried the .ncpatch file? You can find a guide here: http://www.aionsource.com/forum/gene...-problems.html

Hopefully that will help you.

As for me, I'm upset that they're doing two Asmodian events back-to-back. I have absolutely no interest in those... things.

Abedeus · Jun 19, 2009, 07:26 PM // 19:26

Whoever is ramming the login servers, STOP THAT! I want to play :[

Seriously though, hundreds of players have login problems since there are thousands who try to log at the same time... Jesus Christ. It's almost like Korean Open Beta.

haggus71 · Jun 20, 2009, 11:50 PM // 23:50

dayum. And they have two servers, too. I haven't had any problems, though. I'm liking the Asmodians.

Nice to see my character from the last beta is still up. Be nice when they open the PvP to have a char available.

Verene · Jun 21, 2009, 01:41 AM // 01:41

I played a bit yesterday...I don't know. I'm not caring for it too much...

Abedeus · Jun 21, 2009, 11:22 AM // 11:22

Why are you two using the verbs "like" and "care" totally incorrectly?

As for me, I got my Spiritmaster ready to become level 11 next week. I tried playing Asmodians on Friday, but I really dislike them after few hours on Chinese servers. Thank God kids think they look cool.

Oh, and got to Craft some things. Pretty okay, I already have 32/99 Armorcraft ;d

daraaksii · Jun 21, 2009, 11:38 AM // 11:38

I will have an Elyos Chanter and an Asmodian Templar. That's for sure.

The dictionary disagrees with you, and I'll go with that...

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/defi...1473&dict=CALD

care Show phonetics
verb [I]
to think that something is important and to feel interested in it or upset about it.

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/defi...6169&dict=CALD

like (ENJOY) Show phonetics
verb [T]
1 to enjoy or approve of something or someone.

"I'm liking"/"I'm caring" are present-tense ways of using it and not incorrect. "I am liking it right now." "I am not caring for it at the moment."

:P

Anyway, I got an Asmodian Mage to level 5 and an Elyos Warrior and Scout to level 4. That's...pretty much all I could be bothered to do. I'm just not really an MMO fan, and so far there is absolutely nothing to differentiate this from every other traditional MMO, to me.
