You would think that the Aion community would get excited over new patch notes, or new game content, but no. The biggest excitement since the announcement of release dates was brought on by last night’s news of GameGuard, the dreaded anti cheating software included with Aion, being removed from the game on launch day. Being the cause of many gamers’ discomfort all throughout the beta testing, GameGuard has been proclaimed “worst. … thing … evah” by the Aion community (even those that didn’t really have problems with it). I think people held small celebratory parties last night after Ayase announced it. It is possible that GG will make a comeback in some later patch, but for launch things will be GameGuard free.
In other news, VG247 (and other news sources) reported that there are 400,000 confirmed preorders of Aion making it the biggest MMO launch this year. Not only does this means we’ll all have enough people to group with, but this also means the servers will be busting at the seams. It’s all good though, better a lot of people than not enough.
i dont know if that is that great….
that will open the doors for the bot/hack users.
and i dont want to see these people ingame 🙁
Lotro had the same problem with bots. I hope Aion will find some quick solution or we’ll see 50-lvl players in a few days.
