Aion pre-select and head start

Hey guys,

I created a calender event for the head start weekend. Find it by going here:

Vindictive's Aion head start weekend


Also wanted to give a quick update on Aion launch. I'm getting people organized to help run events on Sept. 20, the opening day of the head start. The goal is to get as close as we can to level 25 during head start so we can enter the Abyss early and PvP up a mother fucking storm. I'm trying to organize people for a gank squad and another group of people to become dungeon experts and help run quests/dungeons to get us geared up quickly.

As the calender posting says, if you need a name saved, the pre-select program allows you to do so on Sept. 18, before the live servers launch two days later. Myself, Lanks and renek will be helping people save names during pre-select if anyone needs it. Contact us through the forums.

The full Aion launch day details will be posted a couple of days before the head start. I'm just trying to give Jared and Champions Online the spotlight now to help Benediction through its growing stage. But yes, there's a concrete plan in place and there will be BIG head start day events. We're going to become the top PvP group on Siel. End of story.

Don't forget to sign up for the calender event so we know how many people are joining. Below is a list of confirmed Aion players so far:

Tryden
Lanks
Renek
Aribella
Toxiik
Ashelia
Taichi
Hanna
Frooz
Genma
Malietha
Dominion X
xcerebusx
(Maybe Stomp)
 
So I tried downloading the client a few days ago, no luck.  Tried downloading it today, now it's gonna take forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<div>
</div><div>Also, is it true that anyone can play in the open beta? If so it would be a good time for those that are still undecided or don't want to buy the game to try it out.</div><div>

Yup game is up after a rocky start. Servers werent fully up or something @ 9PDT. Made a cleric, look out for Godsyn if you see her. Halfway to getting wings already.
 
Out of the four people that signed up on the calender, three are healers. Where the meat shields and nukers be at
 
Seems the beta is having major lag issues.  Renek was playing on a totally different server because Siel was unplayable.  Hopefully it's something that will be ironed out soon.  There were some discusion threads in aion source, but no resolution in the one I checked.
 
What server are we on as asmodians? I'm playing on lumiel or soemthing like that right now. whatserverwhatserverwhatserver???!??!?!?!?

I just made a mess in my pants I think.
Oh dear.

chances are that they are using open beta to see what the servers can take and how many they are going to need, kinda like a stress test

Pffft, fuck that. We can still duel-faction, just means were on two different servers. Shouldn't be a problem since everyone should be on vent or x-fire, RIGHT!?! :)

<div>
</div><div>The idea of dual factions, at least the threads at aion source forums, was that on one server you have two legions of the same gaming group like vindictive and when in the abyss, you do the pve content together so when a group of pvpers show up and either try to fight, kill steal, or what not, the opposing side can kill them and the same sided group can stay out of it.  Also, flipping control points was another theory. All that is a null point when you can't have the same group of folks on the same server, we'd have to spilt up Vindictive, which would be no fun.</div>
 
<~~~  Be nuker.  And possibly part time tank.


Just not sure how to sign up on the calender thingy.  I keep getting something for champions o_O;
 
So we're on Siel? As Elyos? I thought most of us wanted to be Asmodian, me being one of them.

.. Isn't anyone doing the open beta?

Nononono ... Our current idea is to roll Siel at launch, but as Asmodians.
