Beta information

[srinknorei]

i was never good with math. ever. so its probably why i went to art school and not smart school, but, i am having a really hard time figuring out where you go those numbers lyankyj >.< is it that green bar that splits up into 7 parts? i could have sworn 've seen it at different fill amounts. but my eye-witness accountability is probably are reliable as my math

Awesome, thanks for your translation once again.

Yes, I too fail at all things algorithmic. Also have total recall of all things imaginary, as well. Gogo Liberal Arts majors!

Anyways, I'm sure it's just a counter for the progress of that week's beta. I don't think it would be all too wise for a company to release a "progress on the game bar" when something could easily go wrong or need total revamping. That could destroy the hype if the bar would stay still (or even go back) while they're fixing it. ;o

So, yeah, just my random opinion.

So, if that bar really represents the beta period (closed and open), they're planning to release the game on July-Aug! )

Well, i hope thats not the caseDD

@_@ I can do math too D:! 3249*43218&3183dayz2^#31ljk*slasd(34green12
Seee, looks like yours. D:
But yea, if that's really what you calculated, then that line doesn't count days till' release, lol.

Thanks again Elliot, I really appreciate the time you take to translate things. You're a great addition to the Aion community.

On another note, I really hope that they change the formula for the release date when they make more progress. Hopefully NCSoft will cancel some beta stages and merge others if the progress goes well.

Yes I know there is another side of that coin, but I don't really want to go there :P

Thanks for the translation Elliot, what would we do without our translators XD

I used Paint for cut and copy the green line to the bar to fill it, and Calculator on pc, 3 min altogether)) ::really hates math::

But as others pointed out, that bar does not show the beta progress

[Haubix]

Thanks for the infos!

[Niteo]

I have been hooked since i heard about aion in 2006.. I thought we would get it Beta English by the end of this year.... which I believe has gone through really fast. IO want to play aion... I don't really want to wait but i know i will have to.. which is sad...


I hope to god they don't finish the beta in 8 months That means we wont get it for ages

Hmm, one year isn't really so much to be honest.
There are games which have people waiting 5+ years, heh.

But I'm really happy that Aion's making very nice progress now.
