Aion: The scam from Aion online.
Yes! its true!
Aion betrays all of his fans in Europe and North America!
When you buy aion, you get a ''Game Activation Card'' Thats what it says.
Also it says: This card gives you 1 month of gameplay.
so,, Game Activation, and 1 month gameplay.
BUT NOW!:
Recent events has shown that you need to pay for ANOTHER card, 1 month to play!
So we are DUBBEL PAYING becouse NCSOFT has made new rules!
This is a SCAM, we payed to get the game and activate it, and what do we get?
We get to buy ANOTHER CARD!
We got scammed.

Um? When you activate your account with your serial key as far as I know you will have the first month free so what's the deal? your getting your free month no?
You get 30days free, you are clairly mistaken.
No, you dont.
After entering your free card, you will be send to a payment page
We got:
Paypal
Creditcard
Paysafe
Gamecard < when you reenter the code you used in the game, you will get an error that its not correct.
Here is a qout from the edited FAQ from NCsoft:
Question
The game box says, "First month of game play included," so why am I being asked for billing information?
Answer
All game accounts must be activated using a valid credit card, PayPal®, or prepaid game time card in order to gain access to the game.
In all P2P games you have to choose what payment you will use in the future lol....
First, welcome to P2P ( Paid to Play) mmorpg.
Second, all P2P mmo requires you to enter your CC info even though you have the first month for free. They wont charge you for the first month.
Hope this clears up the misunderstanding...
RIP Orc Choppa
same as every other P2P mmorpg, they won't charge your card.

LOL, so you don't understand English now?
You have to pay monthly, to do that, you have to ACTIVATE it with a valid credit card or whatever. You still get that first month of gameplay free though. From all the information you've given so far, nowhere does it say that, that has been taken from you.
That's a pretty elementary interpretation mistake.
"IRL is a pretty upstanding MMO with thousands of classes, a lot of PvP and even some pretty unique emotes and titles you can acquire. Explore that world first, then we'll talk about this virtual one."
The problem is, It says 1 free month, i did the same with WoW, no problems there.
and now i get a free month they say.
and later they say i have to get ANOTHER one bevore i can use the real one.
Thats telling lies to make more sales...
Dont tell me, wha thats becouse its p2p.
I already payed 40 =/
???????
The cheapest you can buy the game for is $50.00 US Dollars brah, which includes a month free. You're doing something dramatically wrong here.

It is a scam, but very typical for the industry.
You should not have to buy another month's (or two) time in order to play that 'free' month which comes with purchase. If you are using game cards, you do. No refund on your purchase that I know of, if you use a game card and quit within the first month.
This is a general observation. It's possible that Aion is different from other games, but it doesn't sound like it's any different.

This is how it works for every P2P MMO. I think you're bad because your mother won't let you use her credit card.
Some people don't use credit cards, or refuse to use them online.
Your comment was very childish.

They won’t charge you for the month like I said, it's just to get you CC details for when the month is over...it is the same with every mmorpg.
Even WoW, I remember I had to enter my CC detail's...but that was back in 2005 so that may have changed

Nothing has changed. The P2P model is still the same and has remained untouched for the past few years.
As a Blizzard Dev would say: Everything is working as intended.

At day 29 Log in and Delete the Credit card info to avoid charge. asuming you didn't like the game and dont want to keep paying.
All MMO's have grinds. If you don't like to Grind then MMO's are not for you.
Only some free trials now days do not ask for payment info. Ususally you are not charged for a monthly fee until the initial 30 days free is over. If you are so worried put in the info get into the game and then cancel right away so it ends at the end of your free month.
If you decide you want to quit in that first month and you used a game card to activate, you are out the money you paid for that card.
So much for the 'free' month. False advertising.

you make the assumption that if you bought the game without the free month card it would be $15 cheaper.
Did you buy Aion, and tell your mom its free to play? Yeah, I know its true, you don't have a credit card.

Why would you buy a game card if you do not intend to use it?

Doubter assumes the price of the card is in the price of the game box, but he has not shown a box without the card for $15 less.
To use the 'free' month included with the game.

you even need a credit card to activate a free 2 week trial for netflix. If you choose to stay past 2 weeks your trial is over and you begin watching movies on your payment plan, credit information is required regardless. It's only if you choose to stay will you be billed so yeah you're not being scammed by any means. It's just the way things work.
If you buy the game, and activate with a CC, then cancel in the first month, all it has cost you is the game's price.
If you activate with a game card, and quit in the first month, you are also out the price of the game card.
