Immortality · 07-10-2009, 05:24 AM

I got another question
in guild wars when u leave the town or city u get ur own version of guild war's, i mean u cant see other ppl unless u're in their guild, is it the same in aion? "i hope no"

You'll see everybody. Be it enemies, friends, allies, or some random dude. Well, unless they're stealthed, but that's running off on a tangent.

Nope, Aion is nothing like GW in that respect. There are no "portals" in between the towns and that vast playground where you would normally go questing with your eight partymembers. In Aion you see everyone, and can simply walk from city to the killing fields without a map change. You can also group with others and change your skills while out killing.

Like others have said already, nope, Aion isn't instanced

(Apart from the channels in the beginning zone)

Nice, i like that
i got another Qs, its about preordering
1) i want aion the eu version for better ping, so if ordered from amazon.com will i get the eu or the na version? what about if i ordered from amazon.co.uk will i have the eu version( i looked all over amazon trying to answer this question but nothing)
2) If i preordered and i played a few betas and i didnt like it, will i be able to cancel it and have my money back?

1, There are currently region IP locks on the game. If you live in NA, you need to buy the NA version. If you live in the EU, buy the EU one. It is still unknown whether this will eventually open up, but right now you definitely should buy the version for your continent. (If you live in Australia or New Zealand, buy the NA version) And btw, Amazon.com sells only the NA version. Amazon.co.uk will sell you the EU version.

2, That depends entirely on the policy of the store you buy it from. Do some research on that shop before you order

1) If you buy from Amazon.com, you are gonna get the US version, if you but from .co.uk you will get the UK/EU version (of this I am about 99% certain, but it should say somewhere in the product details). However! Be aware there is no official word from NCsoft on whether you will be allowed to play where you want. E.g. living in the UK, playing in the US (With US client) may not be possible.. we do not know.

2) That depends on the retailer. I pre-ordered a CE and regular edition, got two beta keys, but then went ahead and canceled the regular edition. I payed nothing up front, and won't be charged anything extra, other than the cost of the CE at release. Some people payed all up front, others payed only for a beta key, some people had to leave a deposit. It depends on your retailer. Also, not all retailers are giving out beta keys.. make sure the website says that they are.

I hope this helps.

P.s. To clarify for those people who keep saying the opposite: There is presently NO official word from NCsoft West regarding IP blocks and bans.

Uh... they'd be short a key and you'll have enjoyed a free beta? They aren't going to lock your account for something like that.
