You people who got those keys need to be checking your PCs and make sure the game is gonna run right, because I know atleast 40% of you don't have gaming PCs. Reason why I am saying this is because it will be bad for people who have shitty PCs with out of date drivers, to come back here saying the game sucks just because they can't get it to run or they are lagging.
I would just like to say in my own opinion the game is great have had no issues at all I have pre ordered and have had beta access since CB4. By the way my name is Kirisame on server (Israphel) Asmodian, if anyone needs help with something or simple questions.

I would even venture that a much higher percentage of people who frequent these forums do not sport "gaming" pcs. And YES if every aspect of your pc meets the min requirements but your video card does not this is a big deal and can potentially greatly hinder performance.
Anyone know if the beta key turns into a regular game account at release?
or does the level of each beta server continue with what we hav at the previous or we need to relevel every time a new beta event and or how bout when the real server release?
btw when does the real server start, thanks in advance.

Nope they didn't make you relvl you kept what you lvled in beta 1 up until now, but they will do a clean wipe when open beta starts so I hear that may change but who knows. The games release is sept 22 but people who have pre ordered get a 48 hour head start so servers should open up for everyone else on games official release which is sept 22.
And, you can apply the retail key to the same account you applied the beta key to. Even if they wipe, you will still technically be using the same account for retail.
The account will not magically turn into a full retail account, however. You will still have to purchase the full product (and the retail key that comes with it) in order to activate the full game upon release.
Yea, got mine from Curse. It's taken all night to download the game AFTER I switched to NFTS filing from FAT32. As many others, I am excited to try it, when it is finally downloaded & installed.

Now, as much as I want to try Aion and help in the beta, I don't think I'll be turning off my security in order to do so. Has anyone run into these Gameguard issues and found a solution that does not involve removing the antivirus software? Thanks.
What antivirus software are you using?
Symantec Endpoint Protection. I have been looking around to see if there are any solutions in other forums, but most of what I have found involves turning off or hacking the av software.
Open up the Symantec Endpoint Protection main screen.
Click on "Change Settings" on the left hand side.
Click on "Configure Settings" next to Centralized Exceptions.
Under User-Defined Exceptions click Add...
Add to the exception list: C:Program Files (x86)NCSoftAionin32GameGuard
The above is for a 64bit operating system, if you're using a 32bit OS it'll probably be just
C:Program FilesNCSoftAionin32GameGuard
If you can't add a whole folder then add the GameMon.des file in the GameGuard folder to the exception list and see if it works.
Thank you. I will check that out tonight and let you know how it goes. *fingers crossed*
I was able to launch the game with no alerts. Now I just have to figure out what it is actually doing to the antivirus application for my peace of mind.

While it is true I don't have a high-end gaming pc, my computer isn't quite in the crap category. If, when I am running the game, I have any performance issues I will be sure to note what hardware I am on and what my game settings were when I had the problems. I suggest others do the same so we can have a good idea what will and will not work for Aion.
That said, I really hope I don't have any problems. I'm not expecting I'll be able to run graphics at ultra-high (or whatever the top option may be), but I would be a bit disappointed if I could not tweak the settings to get a decent experience.
