This will probably be my last post in this thread. I'll continue to read responses here (as I do with other threads on this forum), but I've answered the majority of the questions to the best of my ability. There are a couple questions I'll address and summarize earlier posts.
New info:
Aion is not a replacement product for Lineage 1 or 2. There are similarities in the targeted communities but we are not releasing a new game with the intention of closing other games to force players to move over.
Aion bought from a US vendor will play on the US based servers. A copy of Aion bought from an EU vendor will play on the European servers. I'm not sure what servers the Aussie community will play on, but will check into an answer.
Recap of earlier posts:
US and EU beta testing will take place concurrently but at different hours of the day. If things go as planned, there will be a closed beta test later this year, another closed beta test next year and an open beta test shortly before release. Nothing more specific than that has been decided on or announced.
Unless something major changes, US and EU releases will also take place at the same time. We have not announced a release date more specific than during 2009. Yes, I know this feels like a long way out but we want a quality game with as few bugs as possible.
