I was playing games a 4am in the morning. (+1GMT)... :P then i decided to check MMORPG.com, in the middle of a mission (i dont know why lol).. and saw this thread about aion beta keys! oh boy, was i excited!
782 Keys left! when i got mine.
it's nice, finally i can try it out, i didnt want to play china version... -.-
Ya, I got mine around 10:30 CST last night with around 2447 keys left or something like that.
Ya, that is understandable to have a 30 day member period before allowing participation in events like this. Of course, I am pretty sure this drew lots of attention to the website (even though I doubt they needed it).
But to everyone who had gotten a key, I will see you in game on Friday! Lucky me, I have no classes on Friday over this Summer so I am pretty sure it is going to be Aion non-stop for me.
MMOs Played: I can no longer list them all in the 500 character limit.
Thanks so much to MMORPG.com staff for that 5000 keys, when most other sites get 200/250 keys! Thanks once again, downloading the game right now. (Hope Win 7 RC won't get in the way lol).
I'll add to that. Thank you so much MMORPG.com!
I got my key last night when there were still around 4,200+ left.
As of this morning I had 53% of the program downloaded. Very excited!
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
Yes thanks MMORPG.com for shafting the EU playerbase.
I am pretty sure your fellow North Americans were happy getting all our keys too.
As you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that if you put the article up at a time the Europeans are asleep that the NA people would hijack all the EU keys, before we even woke up and had a chance at getting a key.
Maybe next time delay the EU key distribution till early afternoon CET. Just a thought.
For the record. I don't need a key as I am gone this weekend. But I know a lot of EU diehard Aion fans got shafted on this, because of the ridiculous time the article was put up.
These dissapeared in a few hours and I really want to get in this beta. If anyone has an extra NA one and could PM it to me that would be awesome, thanks
It's really nice that NCSoft prefers to have lotteries for beta access on fansites and ignore the people who have, from the beginning, been registered on the official site.
Thanks NCSoft.

So went out to gamestop today and got a beta key for Aion for 5 bucks. My account for NCSOFT says that Aion is playable. So looks like I get to play this weekend after all..only I had to pay 5 bucks :P

Sorry about your luck...but look at it this way.
It gives those who have ignored the game from the beginning and never registered at the official site a chance to ...oooohhh...I think I see what ya mean.
Once you finish the download...can u play the game at all? Or we won't be able to log in until this weekend? I thought I'd at least be able to mess with character creation before this weekend.
It is so unfortunate that a game like Aion send only 5,000 copies in the world having more than that amount, I think you should enlarge a little more for the next you see the number of licenses for future betas.

Its more than 5, 000 other websites are doing give aways as well, although most of them ask you to enter a competition of somesorts. On mmorpg, you get them without any additional effort

Looks like I was a little slow on finding out about this giveaway. There are no more beta keys available on mmorpg.com.
If anyone has one they do not want to use please feel free to email it over to me. Thanks
How can I get a key for aion, I am very concerned on the beta, it would be possible if it can send any key?
Greetings!

You do know what fantasy means right? Might want to rethink what you just said.

Is this a p2p download or direct download off their website? Most launchers use p2p and im wondering cause comcast blocks p2p for me.
p2p = peer 2 peer
Its a direct download via the NCsoft launcher
Its a wee bit slow at the moment but you will have plenty of time to download it for the weekend.
I also got a key though not from this site but I signed up in here just to type in this thread.
Just to put some more on the fire, I downloaded with around 2700 Kb/s
I'm really looking forward to try this specially the flying
Would be nice to see FP host the client heh
