Your Aion release day...

[Karnage]

@ Mark, my dad does, but I don't. Can't stand the feel of my lungs burning when he smokes near me. I had to work last summer in a trailer where everybody was a chain smoker. I couldn't sleep properly for a week after I went back to school.

@ Nytemere, I ordered Tabula Rasa three months before it came out with no regrets. It came a few days early too.

Horray MMO Release Day.

From sea to shining seeeeeeea! *wipes away tear*

Lol I'm in no rush. For all i care if chanters can solo pretty well. I can just play a few hrs a day. (1 or 2 hrs) dont wanna screw up my physical health for a game =P *omg blasphemy!* but my social life might be on the lacking side on the weekends =P for a good week or two.

Let's see.

At the moment the release date become known to me I will start reserving copies with every game shop in town. Don't get angry at me. There are only 3 shops around here that frequently stock games like this, and the last time I only reserved at one store and they never received their batch of World of Warcraft =(

The day before release I'll drink beer untill I'm about half way to passing out. This is the only way for me to wake up early in the morning. The next morning I'll call in sick with school. I'll get to the stores and buy the game from the first one that actually has it. I'll also call off my reservations with the other ones at this point.

Back on my way home I stop by the super market to buy:

- 2 boxes of chocolate cookies
- a pound of smoked salmon
- freshly baked white bread
- a bottle of soda, flavour depends
- a sixpack of my favourite beer

I start installing the game while having smoked-salmon sandwich for breakfast. Once the game is installed I can start systematically destroying my social life again =)

I will finnally convince my m other that I need my mac. And then I will download the game. If The games releases after septmber I would have already the computer so would buy the collector edition(ifm it has the music) or would buy the normal. (But just days after because here in Portugal we always receive those things later). Then at night I would read the full manual. And in the enxt day I would fix the problems (if it ahd) and PLAY, and jump etc

Happy I havn't caught that dirty habit. You guys should really lay off it; my dad's having a crappy experience with them already.

Anyway, on release day, I will....probally be at school while I'm crying and wondering why I couldn't be born a year earlier
(b- day is on the 3rd of January) since I'm in my last year of school now. My pals will buy it and skip school, only to laugh at me when they say "What happened to the Aion boy who wanted this game so badly?" I'll go home, buy it at Eb games, take it home, turn on my crappy "gaming" laptop and play it while my friends are already Daevas. So much fun.

Assuming I'll have my pre-order in time (else whichever shipping company's going to suffer alot of employee deaths) and I don't have something important to do that day, I'll take the day off and probably be waking up around 5-6am and keep refreshing the forums/webpage and launcher in hope to get the patch first/get in first.
Then.. well, i'll have redbull and pizza and i'll probably be playing untill 2-3am.

Simple but..

[Gharik]

I don't like planning stuff, cuz it rarely happens like i would say it will

so im just gonna wait for the release date and see

[Azza]

Smoking is really bad mkay

Well im sure ill have the game downloaded intime for early access or something. Have a guildmate give me my NA version cd key or by email from ncsoft, whatever.

I'll have all my food & drink ready, all the guild on vent & only sleep on server maintaince. Reach max lvl & then ill chill.

EDIT; but then again, i say ill do something & i always oversleep hwehee

[Kazi]

Probably 48hrs of strait game play, then i will break for a day then do the normal grind schedule of any core MMO player.

Throw the box on my bed and start the game...I'll have my character design already selected/memorized from beta, so I can make my char(s) as fast as possible. I'll play all day, probably wont sleep, could easily end up doing close to 20 hours straight (lol)...When I eventually do sleep (probably for like a 2-3 hour power sleep when the sun is already up, I'll have a look at whatever else was in the box then...Although when waiting in game for something I might browse through the box a bit...my only breaks will be to eat (which will be running and grabbing whatever can be cooked fast (most likely an ordered pizza) and to use the washroom.

This. Except I'll be buying my key from NCSoft.
