Alright I'll be the first to admit that the thread title is somewhat misleading but who knows, maybe I'll find time to actually rant on about clocks somewhere in this thread.

Now as some of you may have noticed there have been a few tweaks/changes/additions to Aionsource over the last week or so, for the sake of our dear forumites here's a summary of said changes.

Why thank you good shop-keep!



We'll start off with the latest addition to Source, the post "Thank You" system.

Running off a similiar idea as the previously implemented reputation system the "Thank You" system allows for forum dwellers to show their appreciation for a thread or reply posted. This system does not allow for negative feedback nor specific comments so positive reinforcement is the name of the game!

In order to thank a user for their post simply scroll down to the bottom of it, near the reply and quote buttons you will see a Posted Image button. By simply clicking on this the user will receive a "thanks" Please note you may only thank a user once for their post.

On the left hand bar of the forum you will also note some new statistics, these being "Thanks" and "Thanked X times in X posts" Thanks refers to the amount of times that user has given thanks while the second one is fairly self explanatory. You will also see a "Remove your thanks" link there if you've thanked the user for that post. Obviously that can be used to revoke your thanks if you so wish.

One last thing to bear in mind, we have disabled this system in the following forums:
  • Legions
  • Chit-Chat
  • Introductions

Divided we stand? (zuuuh)



Well after a fair amount of requests we finally decided to split the Legion forums by adding North American and Europe server subforums to the Asmodian and Elysean forums. To quote myself...

Cynic said:

Good evening my darling cherubs, hopefully everyone here in the big cloud known as the Internet are well tonight ;)

Just to keep you all informed and (hopefully) prevent too many zuuuhs :eek: I'll fill you in on the changes that have just been made to these forums. Assuming you're even remotely aware of your surroundings you would have noticed that all the threads in the Elyos and Asmodian forums have been moved to NA/Eu subforums.

Due to the constantly increasing influx of players to Aionsoruce a general consensus has been reached that the forums needed to be split, hopefully this will reduce the amount of thread bumping legions need to do to keep their threads in prime position. However me being the wise bunny that I am decided to do this after not sleeping for a couple days so there may (OK there probably were) a few snags on the road.

If your thread has been hit by such a snag you'll need to PM me with a link to your thread and stating that it needs to be moved. I do apologize for the inconvenience but such is life, chances are only European legions will be affected by this.

Oh and on a passing note a special thanks to Killer for lending a hand with a couple threads ;)

I can count past ten o_O!


Well for all you unwashed Basement dwellers that's now a reality with Technical Support now being part of the post count equation! Again to quote myself from earlier this week...

Cynic said:

Greetings my unwashed lurking cherubs, just a little bit of info for you lovely lot.

After a few recent petitions regarding the Basement (now known as Technical Support) and the relative high quality of content found here we have decided to add TS(Technical Support, typing is tough... sue me) to the post count equation. Not that many of you will care nor do you need the motivation to post here but for the few forumites hiding back here this may lighten your day.

Bearing in mind that post count has no bearing on forum authority after you reach ten posts and can post in GD although it does affect your forum title. So no we haven't forgotten about you lot, keep it up and help your fellow technologically illiterate man!

One last thing while I'm managing to hold your attention (kudos to those of you that got this far), just a quick shout out to our beloved Howling. Not only did his post count just sky-rocket (woop) but he's been giving up a pretty decent hunk of his time to babysit you mischievous lot here in The Basement(TS) Keep up the work good sir, we love you for it!

Later, Cynic <3

And that about sums things up in the world of Aionsource, be good and try not to get too excited too soon!

Aion is quickly approaching with open-beta just around the corner for you lot to enjoy, also as a not-so-subtle precursor we've nearly reached 50,000 members (700 to go!) Rumor has it something might happen when we reach that milestone... you'll just have to wait and see :D

Toodles, Cynic <3

Hey everyone,

The Penny Arcade Expo is definitely a happening place to be this year. 3-day passes and Saturday-only passes have completely sold out. Friday and Sunday only passes are very close behind, so if you plan on visiting the Aion booth this year and don't already have a pass for one of those days, I suggest you do it soon!

I will be there covering the booth, talking with the team, showcasing version 1.5, and meeting all you happy people.

Of course, Aion and the NC West team will be there, too! Here's a writeup from the Official Aion site concerning PAX:

From www.aiononline.com

September 4, 2009 marks the opening of the sixth annual Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), a major North American gamer festival that takes place in the heart of Seattle, Washington.

With gamescom still in our rear view mirror, Aion is ready to follow up on last year's efforts at PAX and once again glide over to the convention center with the entire Aion team tagging along for the ride. Don't miss out on this excellent opportunity to view our beautiful booth (#642), get some hands-on time with the latest version of Aion, chat face-to-face with our present staff, or walk away with some much coveted swag.

Follow our Aion community blog throughout the coming week to get a peek of what delicious highlights to expect!

See you there!

Hey everyone-

The CBT to OBT installer is UP on Fileplanet. Download that here!

Just to clarify, you need to be a FilePlanet member in order to download from their servers but you do not need to be a PAID subscriber. That just gets you faster download access. Just FYI :)


Also, they've told us that a torrent will also be available for this, so if you're waiting for that, keep checking this thread and I'll update as soon as I have the link!

Happy downloading, everyone!

Here's that much-anticipated announcement!

Press Release:

Players are now one step closer to the release of the year's biggest massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, Aion.

Within the next four weeks, NCsoft will treat North American and European gamers to two opportunities to jump into the world of Aion and explore Atreia as Asmodian or Elyos characters ahead of its release in North America on September 22 and Europe September 25. Aion's Open Beta Test featuring version 1.5 will take place September 6 - 13 and will include numerous Western enhancements, including improvements to Aion's innovative character customization with a host of Western styles, as well as new zones, instances, skills, quests and continued game balancing and improvements. Open Beta will retain a level cap for both Elyos and Asmodians characters at 30 allowing players to focus on getting to the same level so they can explore the lands of Atreia together, as well as the Abyss.

Players who have preordered Aion will be treated to a Pre-Select and a two-day Headstart period giving them the opportunity to explore, organize and progress through the game prior to the official launch. Pre-Select will take place on September 18, while Aion's Headstart will begin September 20. Players can still participate in the Aion's Pre-Select and Headstart programs by preordering the game through several participating online and brick-and-mortar retailers, including Aiononline.com, Amazon, Best Buy, EB Games Canada, Fry's Electronics, GameStop, Steam and Target.

Unlike any MMO before it, Aion is a uniquely crafted online experience where flight offers much more than just a way to explore the landscape - it is a strategic and integral part of combat, quests, and exploration. Players will dive into battle and plunge through thousands of unique, story-driven quests, all while trying to save a world literally shattered in half from centuries of brutal conflict. Using one of the most flexible and in-depth character customization systems ever featured in an MMO, players will be able to create genuinely distinct characters and explore a visually stunning world of ethereal beauty brimming with otherworldly inhabitants, mysterious enemies, and ancient secrets.
