Thread: Epic Aion Patch for Release

Aion Launch Version!
September 17, 2009 4:34 PM

Greetings!

As we draw closer to tomorrow I wanted to give everyone a brief update on the progress of our live version. We are excited to announce that we will be serving out the final update for you to patch within the next few hours. You will be able to use this version for both our Preselection and our Head Start. We are very excited with our final product and think that you will be as well! Below are the release notes for the patch you will see later today:

- Aion now features all three languages French, German and English. To select your language simply right click on Aion within your launcher and go to Properties->Language Options. Please select which languages you wish to download and which you wish Aion to display.

- After analyzing our open beta test results Aion will not feature GameGuard at launch. We will however continue to pursue ways to effectively utilize GameGuard within Aion in the future. Right now we're focused on providing players with the best possible Aion experience.

- The level cap is now level 50 (previously 45).

- Players will be able to reserve 2 character names during Preselection and create 8 characters in total once Head Start begins and beyond.

- Channels will be set to 10 instances for the beginning 2 zones of each faction. Please note that these will be lowered as characters progress and spread throughout Atreia.

I would just like to say that THIS is the last straw for me. NCsoft has completly stolen my loyalty away from blizzard, some updates may be on short notice but the NCwest team has continually listened to the community and done what is in their best intrest.

15/10

NCwest is 110% Pure Win.

awesome

Yay! No Gameguard!

Wow, that's awesome news! Great job NCwest. Glad they care about the community and listened to their feedbacks.

Hey cool, maybe i can use my extra mouse side buttons now

Oh yea, and maybe my keyboard will stop turning off, lol.

Wow I actually am rather surprised by how well they listen to us... I don't know if it's because they want to make happy, or simply because they're afraid of losing money (although I think I know which one it is). But either way they do seem rather aggressive about fixing bugs and other issues.

Also I think in general they have been adding new features to the game at a very fast rate, major content patches for end game, instances, the Armory, and remember this game has already launched in Korea and China, it's hasn't truly been in beta for some time now. We over here in NA have just been throwing our two cents in about how it appeals to us. Perhaps it's because they have other games to look at and take notes from, they learned that ppl like being able to change the way their toons look, so they added that capability and expanded it with armor skins and dye, and even allow you to change gender.

These guys really got me pumped up about the game, they've added things that WoW took years to figure out, right from the start. Let's just hope and pray that they keep this level of service going for years to come... They're already working on an expansion, now lets see if they can keep us happy until it comes out!

In all honesty when it comes to p2p mmo's aren't these really the exact same thing?

(At least when there are other available options (mmo's)for us to choose from?)
