Servers are up, game on. :D

Server names have all been changed though, so we'll need to pick a new one...

Enjoying the beta atm and looking forward to higher levels and new skills & zones to explore.  I do miss the addons of WoW though, hopefully Aion will allow that in due course.

:sideways: well that's a good start.

I'm desperately trying to mustert up the willpower to start d/l again but may as well now wait and see people's reactions to it.

So...what servers did you guys start playing on then? And what names are you going by?

Seems my original server + Chars from the CB's were removed.

I'll be trying to get a few hours in this week.  
Anyone noticed any quirks or things they don't like in v1.5?

I see the game still closes down if you get disconnected, which I find a little annoying and a waste of time. Not sure why they don;t just drop you back to the main screen.  Might be worth my time dropping a line on the beta-boards to see if this has been mentioned.

Actually, my download from GamersHell went really fast Friday. Had the download in around 20 minutes.
Lumi seemed to have a really slow connection trying it yesterday though.

restarted my download from the NCsoft launcer (think it came with steam) and 2000MB of one of the downloads had magically gone so redownloading at 200 KB/s ftw :)

Has been mentioned roughly a billion times. :P

There's quite a few nice changes in 1.5, the only thing I didn't like was in character customisation, by adding a bunch of 'western' content they've removed the high pitched Bruce Lee type voice. :(

So what server is everyone on?  I got up to level 7 on Perento yesterday (character name Drueth) - but don't mind changing if most people are on another server.

Graphics are excellent compared to Wow and the game play is pretty decent.  

All toons from closed beta got deleted, as will all toons from open beta when the game goes live.  You start from the same level as everyone else.

My Daeva is now flying around and having a blast!

Btw, the guild costs just over 12,000 Ki to set up.  This is a sum that one person can easily acquire by level 10 when you get to visit Sanctum, but it is better shared over several people!  So please be prepared to give generously at start up time, I am sure you will be repaid many times over in Legion benefits!

Seems fun then. Sad that NCsoft put country restrictions on Aion and my place was one of them .... hopefully something will be worked out befor the official launch.

The question remains unanswered - what server? :blink::g:

For the beta?  Not sure it matters for the beta, but atm I am on some server towards the bottom of the list, begins with T and has one of the longest, if not the longest, names in the list.

TL.

Oh and lag was fine during the day, it did get a bit laggy once  schools were out, but it worked fine otherwise and tbh I have no idea if it is representative 'live populations'.
