I'll be sure to take a few screens

Not sure about my in-game name yet though. Damn hard to decide

Good news for all of our fans who received beta access from our partner websites for the first beta event weekend!

If you received a key which originally granted access to the first beta weekend only, you'll be delighted to hear that your key will get you into the next beta event starting tomorrow.

We're pleased to give all our beta players the opportunity to create an Asmodian character and see—for the first time ever—the story content we've created just for you.

Have fun!

I don't have the key *cries* good luck on your beta test guys:)

cHiN

Can someone explain what happens when i pre-order Aion? I've head people saying you get Beta access etc etc. Is this true? If so, how do i get notified of it, and when?

I hope they didn't just scrap the idea of the sweden exclusive key -_____-

Xex, When you pre-order Aion you will recieve an Email telling you about the Beta details and that you can play on all the closed beta's. All the information you need will be added to Email, I would suggest to pre-order from Game.co.uk

Ahh, i get an email. DAMNIT!!! I got my friend to pre-order it with his, because i was too lazy too. Guess i'll have to bug him for the email now, lol.

Thanks for the info though

np m8, glad to help

wow you sure on game.co.uk? because i ordered mine like 7 months ago and still h avent recieved any info
on the beta stuff from game.co.uk xD

cHiN

Woops not Game, Play.com i mean XD soz about that Blood, I always get the two mixed up

So i should pre-order from play.com and not game.co.uk? Am i guaranteed to get the info from play.com? :D

amazon did fine to me, just dont use their affiliates

I wish i could cancel my order, but i am not sure if the game reward points get deducted.
If i were you i would order it from play, i have some games preordered from their business.
Good lick with your order.

cHiN

Bah, i'll keep my order with game for a week or two, then if nothing happens, i'll switch to play

I guess i'm lucky to be playing without having to pre-order muaha
