Alright everyone, now that GamesCom is winding to a close, it's time we compiled the Aion information we came away with.

The NC booth was a very popular attraction this year (both live and virtually as they featured an internet feed!).

Some great info about Aion's future was disclosed as well. There have been a few interviews with Aion's Lead Designer Yongchan Jee as well as insight from NA Producer Brian Knox.

Also stay tuned for the results from this thread. We had a HUGE amount of questions and we're sorting through them to send to Yongchan Jee. We'll be posting his responses as soon as we can!

EDIT: Some forum posters have been speculating that open beta will begin on September 4th. We haven't received the official announcement yet though, so take what you hear with a grain of salt. :)


If you have anything that was missed in this recap, post the link below and I will add to the original post.

I just placed a pre-order and shut off my wow account. Aion is my next MMO. Don't get me wrong here, I've played Anarchy Online when it launched and Starwars Galaxies pre-combat upgrade. Just a big fan of MMO's in general.

[Fearlessbro]

Can't wait for the release, thanks for the info.

Awesome videos. Good way to kill some time waiting for the OB.

[BlueMoon]

Now that GamesCom is over the developers should just skip the whole open beta crap and push the release up to this weekend!

Us folks who already have a really bad addiction' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.addictguild.com/]addiction to this game would really appreciate that..... A LOT.

It says "Video Interview with Brian Knox" and.... does he got a new hair cut and changed into a bush or is just the video that's missing?

[Shocker]

not enough information! >_<

MORE!


lol nice videos.

must feed the addiction till OB starts some how..

[Makkah]

New casual content, nice :D
Casual content is not bad unless it gets to the extent that Wotlk is now.

[Aiko]

Those videos were a awesome set to introduce new players, so am going to use these to show friends:sparkles:

[Devrak]

So.. he pretty much confirmed that you will have Addons in Aion, eh?

[Raivyn]

The voices are definately real then, i was hoping that it was some joke. =/

Hope they let us use the korean casting/attack voices.

My fav thing at gamescom was seeing the NCSoft folks in person and snapping a few shots of the smiles, it was great fun.

Brian and Lani were a riot during the Friday interview:


Ayase poses nicely for his close up:
