MARKNOTE: I'll type up an article about Aion's ads around town a bit later.

Warning: The content of this article may upset non-GC visitors.

You’re bound to have sprung across our flickr-page which should help you imagine what a big and purely mind-blowing event this was. It was like being carefully enclosed in a little bubble fantasy world. And to now leave everything, returning to real life, is like slamming rock-hard into a solid door (like the most expensive ones in Dungeon Keeper).


It was a great event and it was great fun meeting everyone from the community. Mark from Aionsource, Cori and Szabi from Aionhun.hu and Fleiva from Reign legion were present for almost the entire event. They even had time to visit all our ~50 advertisements scattered around the City of Leipzig (that translated into a lot of walking). Kudos to them for that!

There was also a solid and strong representation from our good friends over at AionOnline.se, running Scandinavia’s only fansite. From the sounds of it, they managed to get the time to both play Aion at the show floor (I was challenged in a 1vs1 duel) as well as having talks with me and the other guys tied up in the Business Centre. Worth pointing out is that Caineth (in the picture) also recently became the official Aion correspondent over at mmorpg.com. You can find his introductory article here.

Between the demo runs I had some time to participate in various activities down at the show floor, although of course not as often as I would have wanted to. As you may have heard, we had paper bags with a Shugo and Aion artwork on them. I set out to refill our supply at the front of our booth a few times, but let me tell you this: I never got the chance to. People would literally flock up around me as I arrived with the new bags. Hands would fly towards me from everywhere, eagerly grasping for a bag. At the end, they ran out before I got the chance to refill any of the hangers at all! :(

Thanks everyone who came and made GC what it was. I love this Aion community that we’re all building, and hope that you feel the same way. If we all keep contributing and doing our best to make it a cool place to be at - there’s nothing that’s going to be able to stop us.
That is all.

I hope that the PAX event gets as much coverage by NCsoft NA as NCsoft EU's given.

Well I think Mark going to GC 08 has made this website even more well known. Thus the 10k members. Not to mention we are continuing to grow at an alarming rate! AIon is actually being spread like a virus. And this virus is actually fun to play >

PAX likely won't be as huge as GC, but it will be America's first solid look at Aion, which is huge on its own.

Also, a NC Soft "meet & greet" party has been scheduled that Mark is attending and I likely will be, too, so you readers will likely get to see and hear about your NA team.

So, the energy of PAX might not compare with that of GC, but I know for sure my excitement is through the roof right now. It will be a great weekend!

Mark, I know we're pretty aware of it at this point, but every time you link to the article, you keep linking it as "More...", that's rather deceiving just so you know since it's not really more, it's just the original .

Since I do make changes that are not usually updated in this RSS-mirror, it does make sense for people to read the original however. Anything to lure them there is a welcome addition.

The GC was definitely a lot of fun (and noise, and crowds and crazyness.. But nevermind that)
Actually, I just sent a reply to your realm, Ayase. Luckily, I had fun and got bunches of stuff :3
