Didn't WAR have like 700k? I'm surprised Aion isn't matching up to WAR. Not enough hype apparently. Pretty sure War didnt have that many preorders. Think they were in the 150-200K ballpark. |

WAR had about 600k pre-orders IIRC. It was the best selling item across all categories on Amazon.de the day it went on sale.

NCSoft has been fairly tame on the external advertising, whereas Mythic went fairly crazy promoting the game pre-launch (interviews upon interviews, big hype at every conference, advertising on competitors sides (wowhead and wowwiki), promotional websites (can't recall domain, was a geographical contest) - the hype machine was worked around the clock. I can't say that Aion has done much of anything along these lines, I think most of the excitement has been largely fan generated. |
Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.

And Avira Antivir now (since today's patch) recognizes the main file Aion.bin as a trojan. It's Avira's fault, yet funny.

Hey Non, just a heads up. The goons are moving to Zikel. Not joking. Your welcome to come join my band on Azphel. |

And now this: We're going to push out a small patch to fix Aion disappearing in your launcher, and to resolve error 1024. Very soon now.
1 minute ago from Seesmic How the fuck could they fuck it up 40 minutes before launch?! It was fine 1 hour ago! |

I'm no pro but I imagine course-correcting on GameGuard this close to launch was bound to screw up something. I also keep forgetting the PDT part of the noon preselection. Which explains why I keep getting kicked from the login screen  |

I expect to consume many hours over the next two days tweaking and re-tweaking character appearance.

It took me 30 minutes to make one character (my main), now I have to make my alt.

Sigh. I did that in beta. Now it took me 5 seconds to replicate my two perfect models. I had notes and screenshots too, to be sure not to fuck it up. Character creation is serious business  |

It would have been a nice feature to be able to output a settings file for your character's appearance.

They probably could of created templates for you to keep from beta. Some games do that. |

That's not accurate. Many of those guild have left as far as I know since it became Oceanic. |
