[Luminance]

t's official - Aion is the biggest MMO launch of the year and is one of the must-have games this holiday season. NCsoft today revealed the latest preorder figures for its newest massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, Aion, which is nearing 400,000 preorders and outpacing other major MMO launches this year.

400.000 preorders :blink:

Imagin how many players it will have at the beginning of October, and if the game lives up to the promises/expectation, how many players it will have at the end of the year.

I hope this doesn't mean we all will get 3fps for the first 2 weeks after pre-launch

p.s. quote is also a link

Well hopefully Aion wount experience the same lag fest that WoW did in the early stages (until BC was launched).

Aion this weekend!
And Lumi, your link is not working m8.
 
EDIT;
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.

It shouldn't be too bad, usually jumping to a quieter channel works fine.
