For some weird reason I couldn't go on the BBS of Aion China's official site, so here is the link of someone who copied that article.
Aion will have it's CBT the end of Nov. and have it's OBT Jan. 1st, 2009. Tomorrow which is 11/18 in China, few of the China's major game site such as 17173.com will have event to give out few of the OBT account.
I went on 17173.com myself today and confirmed that there will be such event tomorrow. But since they are only give out 5 account tomorrow I guess I'll just wait for later.... I was never that lucky anyway~ :cry:

China's will have cbt aswell???

[Mila]

yes, to see if there is any bug after translate Aion into Chinese

one of those CBT that you can't get account for, only for 10 days I heard. For those top players they invite over only

[lyankyj]

Thank you for the infos!

So NA/EU should get Aion around March then. Shucks. That's far too long from now. I hope there's a few preview events during Dec/Jan/Feb. One each month would be cool.

[Mila]

no problem, also China's official site is doing things like sign up and complete your info. and get certain # of crystals which you can later use to trade for an OBT account, but the crystals are not that easy to get and you probably need alot of them to trade so I gave up on that too~

I suppose since from Hellrose's post seems to be China first then NA/EU... least we heard from China now, so the sooner the better

Yeah preview events in 2008 would be very cool....but they said 2009....

from some source of information, i know that some publisher, in some country already know date of release:sparkles:

When they announced PEs, I estimated them to start in early April, no surprise here.
And no surprise either that we won't get proper support like China gets. PEs and nothing more..
Oh wait, I'm not worried, they've got agressive plans for the western launch!!! They mean it!

[Aryan]

Good to hear its on the way. :)

I really wanna get into the chinese beta ;d.:sigh:

[Terpsichore]

So did they already removed anything resembling a human bone from game?

Why the hell chinese beta is coming out sooner than english one? ._.

[Komea]

Yay another CBT! Were getting closer!!

Agree, agree! Men... Waiting till March is like suicide for us, I mean, you know what I mean, everyone knows the feelings. Since K-Aion performance was way over expected, I think they should work double or more than times to get in NA/Eu version. =(

And I'm so jealous to China, they will have their Aion soon... and we(NA/Eu)? ???

China's been a bigger market for NCSoft in the past as far as I know.

[HunterX]

Thx for the heads up.

[Mr Mage]

/exasperation
So why is China getting beta testing and we are only getting preview events?:sigh: :angry:

On the other hand we were told that China was getting the game second after Korea so we know that it is getting closer to our launch.

[XemnasXD]

maybe the preview events are like character customization so by the end of Jan we'll just get to go straight to open beta

I think people will have more lcuk getting into chinese open beta, i guess.

I don't think so. they are only giving out 10,000 OBT accounts and just think how many people there are in china..... ya, think again~:sigh:

[Aragros]

like in c&c generals


china will grow larger ;)

hmm they should release demo (character customization ) in EU/NA after Korean Release.

[justamemory]

[Shoee]
