The fiasco that was the Aion "Open Beta"
Hi folks here is a copy of what I am sending to all mentioned. good luck 
To Whom IT May Concern;
Amongst the many issues I have had trying to join the Aion "Open Beta" here is an update for your records;
Became a minimum subscriber to Fileplanet
Joined Aion open beta
downloaded gameclien
NCsoft
and the game(took an entire day)
No where does it state you have to pay for anything or that you must have or buy a game key to play. You find this out after it is too late. Money is tight for many, Americans at least, at this time. For some gaming is the only entertainment. Before I would invest in any game I would like to try it first. With Aion this is not possible. Imagine how many customers you have lost. Fileplanet and Ncsoft have lost many as well. The entire experience for myself and many others has been a fiasco.
The icing on the cake....
Attached is a screen shot from my AVG system showing a virus found in Aion/NC soft.
Thanks for absolutely nothing, except for a giant pain.

You actually didnt have to pay a dime for it... If you played your cards right.
Its been said before and it will be said again.
Dont let the door hit you on the way out.
Holy fuck man, is the only open beta you people been in before something like Runes of Magic?
Where have all these magical games been the last couple years where you didn't need a beta key to get to play?
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
I didnt think people could be this dumb...honestly
What dont ya understand in " BETA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hello can i call the OP a WHAAAAAAAmbulance
Fileplanet!!! You should get a years worth of bandages (real, not game) for dealing with that.......place. By the way. I love your french. Fiasco is french.......isn't it?
i checked that file with norton and its not a virus .
even ad aware doesnt see anything wrong with it
Um ah don't think I'm the moron. I have played many games and done open and closed betas...never had this much bs. Didn't say you all had to agree with me. this is FYI. A game that comes with a virus is moronic. Filepanet is moronic.
Opinions are like a holes everyone has one, so you all are entitled to yours.
Happy gaming

AVG is known for always finding something and calls it a virus when it NEVER is a virus lol..so thats pretty hilarious, if you want Aion to work...add Aion in the exception List on AVG...then redownload and all that..it should work lol...*shakes head*

It is a false positive. Some anti-virus programs get them a lot.
You might not be a moron, but you certainly wish to remain ignorant.
"The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in."
I agree with Donna.
Hello, did you play other OPEN BETAS? What does OPEN BETA mean? "Another Closed Beta"?
I played many mmorpg's open betas, and it was like open registration through the site.
If you want to play Aion OPEN BETA, you need to buy preorder, suscribe payed site, or be one of 5000 free tickets.
It shouldn't be called OPEN BETA, it should be called Closed Beta v2.0
It's a shame of NCSoft for being so mean on money.
I was about to try a game and buy it, now i wont even touch a box of this game.
Peace.
Yeah, right, clearly you've been in tons of betas if you weren't even aware you might need a key to activate a beta account.
...and the game doesn't have a virus.

What types of games you tried? F2P OR P2P? there's a difference you know?
F2P let's everyone in open beta and sometimes(rarely) in closed betas while P2P need a key for both.
ok aion or who ever is behind the trouble is affecting the main majority of gamer
anyway i always said from may there are post here ,that this game wasnt worth it
today there are even better game then when i started flaming aion
that being said ,the file you linked isnt a virus if it was norton would have detected it when i downloaded it
or yesterday scan ,but i did scan it just to make sure and its not a virus
and ad-aware doesnt see a treat in it either
sorry men but either norton doesnt detect your virus or norton crew did analyse it and concluded it wasnt a virus
Wow thank you all for your help and intelligent comments.. the virus, or whatever it is, is not the only issue. And I'm not 12. I enjoy gaming. It isn't truely my life. You all are brutal. I wasn't whining btw. The post was my experience and opinion which is a s valid as yours.

I didn't pay anything to play in open or closed beta. Just like someone mentioned before about the virus, it's a false positive-of which AVG is very well known for. You should use Avast, it is much better.
While I respect and agree with your opinion, they are right about your virus program finding a false-positive. That is not a virus but probably a file that requires your computer to do something "fishy" according to AVG (such as coonecting to the internet without your knowledge or transmitting unknown game data).
Whoever was in charge of Aion's community relations should be shot along with the idiots who originally thought up the idea of open betas being a paid enterprise rather than a chance for the MMO community to get hooked to the game. Early Start to OB and Retail? Sure, let preorders have that. An OB for people that shell out money without knowing if the game is any good...you can kiss my ass on that one NCSoft.
You speaking to meh ?

Well if you have done any "open" beta in the last 4 years apart from ones that had no hype then you would know this is now the norm. I could rhyme of at least 20 titles during the last 4 year that have operated a beta through a site requiring a sub or on a limited key basis despite calling it a "open" beta.
AVG is absolute crap get a real virus scanner there are many other free options out there such as avast or avira it's always giving false positive's on lots of thing's, the reason it detects that as a virus is because of the way gameguard works but if it was worth it's salt it would have it as a exclusion like the vast majority of other AV's.
You speaking to meh ?
I lol'ed
I might not be a stong supporter of the game but complaining about an open beta is just idiotic.
It not a virus, how times do you need to be told? Allso most AAA MMO titles require a beta ket to play in the Open Beta, so i doubt you have played many. Your post is full of lies
Aion v3 "RELOADED" - A glimpse into the future of the MMO genre
If you paid to play the beta, you did that by choice. Many people, including 10,000 MMORPG users, were able to play for free.
This was a beta, not a "Free Preview". Once the game has been open for a while, I'm sure there will be free trial offers for people who are not sure it is worth the money.
To be honest, you do seem whiny. AVG never told me I had a virus, and I've been playing since the first beta event.
If you had fun in the game, then get over the petty BS and play it and have fun. Otherwise, just find another game and get over it. The key here? Get over it.
