Japanese play for free?

[Lablue]

So heres the story, I play on a NA server but I live in japan. I bought the game from a US store, and pay monthly like everyone else. This weekend I decided to go tokyo to visit the missus, and while im here, I wanna see if i can play Aion at any of the internet cafes here.....

After 3 fails, i finally find an internet cafe with the game installed! so i try to login with my account info, but fail, so i create a new account, new password, enter my info, and voila, in 5 minutes im at the server selection screen of about 10 servers, most names match the US server names....

I start playing, continue for about 2 hours, population is kinda small ingame, 0 gold spammers, and then i realise that i havent entered any billing information...so who pays for my account? im guessin the internet cafe pays a small fee monthly to ncsoft??

All i know is that if you can read japanese, dont wanna buy the game or pay monthly but just try the game, then head to an internet cafe like `gerogero` where aion is installed and go for it.

my apologies if this info has already been posted....

Ah, the interesting thing about playing AION in internet cafes is:



ITS FREE. Yes, it really is. It says so on the official site that you don't have to pay for game time if you play at internet cafes.
Obviously you just have to pay the internet cafe price.

Sometimes the internet cafes get other special things too, for example: depending on how long you play at the cafe, you get a certain amount of the Lodas' Amulets!

Pretty cool, eh?
