Aion guide for WoW players aka the beginner’s guide

Posted on September 19, 2009 by Mikro

Being a long time WoW addict (read that as ex-addict, stopped playing around 6 months ago) and considering that most of the MMORPG players out there probably played WoW at some point I thought I give you 10 tips that will make your life easier. I will focus on the specifics of the Aion gameplay mechanics that every player should know, so this can also be considered a beginners guide for anyone, not only WoW players. The list will go “less important” tips to the most important differences and it starts with:

Aion Launch Errors

Posted on September 18, 2009 by Genius
  1. If you get any errors, completely shut down your NCsoft Launcher and boot it up again. Make sure it’s patched, and make sure Aion is patched.
  2. If you are getting GameGuard errors, you haven’t patched the game completely. Shut Launcher down fully and restart.
  3. Getting “You cannot run any more cliennts”? Let me know what server you’re on and I’ll have it looked into.
  4. If you’re getting Error 36 it’s one of two reasons. 1) Something blocks your connection, 2) The server is overburdened.
  5. If Aion is in Korean for you – restart the Launcher, right click on Aion and click Properties -> Language Options
  6. Any other known resolution to the korean language in client issue – Close Aion and the patcher. Then relaunch and patch both. You should get a 800MB patch.
  7. You should now be able to patch up French and German as well, just make sure to restart Launcher.
  8. I keep getting ID or password doesn’t match. What’s causing this? – Update your game account password on us.ncsoft.com
  9. If you get the note “The name includes Forbidden Words.”  Either you are trying to sneak in a bad word or this name has already been given to an NPC.
  10. Error Code 3: First delete all files from C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\local settings\temp directory . In your Aion directory there is a version.ini file. If you have the wrong version (the correct one is 1.5.0.6.), you should manually edited version.ini to 1.5.0.6. Relaunched and patch.
  11. I just purchased the digi upgrade to CE and it wont apply the serial code? Any advice? – Please contact support/billing for that one. NA: http://is.gd/3qk8f EU: http://is.gd/3qknW

Bye GameGuard, Hello 400,000 preorders

Posted on September 18, 2009 by Mikro

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.

Aion to Launch with an Oceanic Server

Posted on September 17, 2009 by Genius

Aion Team has decided to launch Aion with an Oceanic server set to GMT+10. Oceanic communities have already masterfully executed unofficial polls indicating their server desires. To honor these community efforts, the North American server Nezekan will be adjusted to an Oceanic time zone and event schedule immediately.

The server will however not be labeled as an Oceanic server right away, but Aion plan on changing that in a patch within the first two weeks after launch. We are doing everything we can until then to let everyone know about the plans for Nezekan’s future time zone schedule to allow players to make informed decisions.
