I grabbed one in case they all went fast, first to ask gets it.  There were still over 4000 when I checked though, so if you hurry you'll probably be fine.

Where did you guys download the Beta from?
Gamershell doesn't work for me and Lumi.
The torrent one goes freakin slow (only 0.4% after a full day on).

Post by: b00n on September 10, 2009, 03:47:44 PM
I got it from torrent, 500kbps+ all the way.  Does your ISP throttle p2p?

Post by: DuVeL on September 10, 2009, 04:19:11 PM
Normally speaking no problems here with torrents.:sad:
Lumi seems to have the same problem with the torrent...:taz:

I've tryed to download it now for 2 days, no luck. As the betakey is still good for a few days, anyone interested in it? I got it from no_peanuts.

Have you tried getting it direct via the NCSoft Launcher and just leaving it running?

Finally seems to work after making a login for NCsoft which didn't work for me before.
Title: More open Beta Keys here!
Post by: DuVeL on September 11, 2009, 04:44:45 PM
How can I make it to start downloading from NCsoft?
I did download this; Aion installer.exe , it ran for a bit but doesn't anything anymore and just goes straight back to NCsoft after it's finished.
 
It did say this in the email;
When you run the installer, the Aion Downloader will begin downloading in the background. If you restart the Aion Downloader, the download will continue where it left off.
 
So, just wait untill it's done?
Title: More open Beta Keys here!
Post by: b00n on September 11, 2009, 06:34:10 PM
Aion installer.exe should be a small program which installs the launcher and starts it downloading the game.  You should have a link to the launcher on your desktop or start menu, and you should see the launcher appear with a list of games when it runs, and it should start downloading Aion. :)

Post by: DuVeL on September 11, 2009, 09:06:09 PM
Didn't the first 5 tryes, now it's downloading Aion finally.
Might even get it in the end :roflmao:
 
Cheers b00n

Are you sorted for a key?

Would you still like one?

I still haven't gotten round to getting it organised so if you (or anyone else) wants a key let me know.

Lol, had a chat with Lumi and if he wouldn't have gotten a new order in he might have taken you up for it Pen.
Thanks for putting it up here.
 
And Jim, Sunday seems the day to play although according to Lumi you can set up your profiles and such Friday @ 21.00 NL-time = 20.00 UK-time.

Yup. There are countdown timers for both the pre-select and headstart on the server status page linked in the server status thread.
