I don't think you have to download the client from fileplanet though, when I entered the key at NCsott's webpage it gave me the option to download it there.

The bulk of the game is downloaded through the ncsoft launcher, and I would really recommend starting it now. Before the first beta weekend, things were getting pretty bogged down.
Ah, Didn't know it worked for free accoutns, when you clicked the aion thing before the keys were out it asked if you wanted to subscribe, but hey, at least everyone can get it now.
Ah I didn't reliaze it was open for everyone since I am a subscriber I assume for people with subs only. Thanks for the info I will let my friends know anyone can try to get one.
Boo, they're all out of keys for non-paying customers.. ah well. I fail yet again!

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Damn, I just missed it as well. But EB Games / Game Stop is still taking $5 pre-orders w/ early access code and in game items.
Good thing I'm preordering tomorrow. I heard from a friend that certain Gamestops were out of preorder codes...............

obviously they will be wiped, have you ever heard of a p2p mmo that has released with keeping characters during beta?
Some have, but these will be wiped as it is a closed beta event. Generally open beta is where characters might not get wiped when release hits.
Name 1 P2P MMORPG where you gotta buy the box from a retail store to play that has let you keep your beta char, and please don't name a third rate MMO that no one has even heard of.

Honestly I can't, but I don't care either . I could have sworn there was some that have. No need to jump down my throat.

uhmm...how about Lotro? a AAA P2p game...had something called a Founder's Program that offered anyone preordering, a guaranteed beta spot and CHARACTER ROLL-OVER from beta server to retail. Mind you it was Open Beta and not Closed but it's still beta
Will the characters be whiped after this beta or are they now keepers?
It's my understanding that they will be wiped, and this makes sense as one of the percs for preordering is early access and the ability to reserve character names.. Can't really reserve a character name if they didn't do a character wipe, at least I wouldn't think so...
They will be wiped, but the chinese players in there CBT got to keep there's. It did not effect the outcome much because most of the testers moved to another server to be with friends.

But no worries, it was worth the wait!
As of about 5 minutes ago, there were still keys for registered *non paying* accounts as well. YMMV
Fortune favors the bold.
Confirmed... at least as of a few minutes ago. Gogogo!

IMO it was prolly ment to be for payed subs only, but someone messed up.
I think this is what happened too, someone just got fired at IGN's office.
