Despite the fact that they have to read through all the submissions and choose the best candidates, I never said that choosing testers alone would take that much time. They've also gotta update all the servers with the new updates, as well as make sure everything's working correctly technology-wise. They're also making changes based on the comments of CB2 testers after CB2 ended, so they have to plan CB3 along that schedule, most likely giving a week or two extended leeway just in case.

Its why i stopped posting been waiting for this game for 2 yrs plus and continual delays. I never mind waiting if its worth the wait but it gets to a certain length where no amount of good should have taken this long. Nc Soft prgramers = laziest ppl on earth srsly they go to work order pizza and shoot the **** lmao. However i am not so dissapointed that i dont want to play, im still looking forward to it very much i just wish theyd hurry up already.

Last time I checked (L2), they don't pick testers through submissions.

That could be true, but then I don't see a point to asking what games we've tested/played in the beta submission.

Where is this beta submission? O_o

That was 5 years ago.

I hope the OB releases here before Champions Online, otherwise I'll get that first and possibly get sucked in... >_<

And can't you see the striking resemblance between L2 and Aion? Very little has changed.

A: As stated in a previous interview, Asmodeans level fast in early game, but after mid-game will face hell-like grinding when levelling. There will be penalties when attacking mobs with a significant level difference and lastly, the time required for both races to reach level 50 will be the same.
However, due to players' interests, the Elyos population is sure to be larger. Fewer leveling grounds and other reasons will cause players to feel that they are leveling more slowly.
Some people will think 'Since Asmodeans level faster, they will possess better skills more quickly and be able to complete higher level quests with better rewards. Wouldn't that mean they will reach the level cap faster than the Elyos?' However, Aion is not a game with quests at its core. The Asmodean population will be relatively smaller, with the same amount of experience required to gain levels, the time both races will take to reach the level cap will be the same.

why would people want that? is he serious about that or is it a translation fault?

really, more and more indicates that this will be another grindfest
it would be seriously a waste of this beautiful game
they can make so many interesting and diverse quests with all those beautiful locations

I really hope there will be more than enough quests to lvl without grinding

Would you please read the rest of the paragraph? He explains exactly why the Asmodians might, MIGHT level slower than the Elyos by the endgame. If you need me to explain it for you, I can. But you'll feel stupid for not getting it without help. I guarantee it.
