Credit goes to MMOsite.com. QUOTE Finally, Aion's first beta test for EU/NA players has been announced to start on June 5th. In this first event, beta testers will play Aion as the Elyos, who occupy the bottom half of Atreia, known as Elysea.
"It's almost time to spread your wings and take flight in Aion™!
Soon, NCsoft will formally invite select players and members of the press to play in the first Aion beta event. Players will take their first fledgling steps in a world of unparalleled splendor and intrigue. Choosing between two powerful races and among eight character classes and thousands upon thousands of avatar customization options, players will embark on a journey where they must choose sides in a celestial civil war that threatens to destroy the once-peaceful world of Atreia." Cant wait. It's time to quit CN or Korean version. xD

I got into the beta. The weekend beta will begin at 3am, Saturday. I will post up the latency results when the beta ends.
Downloading of client was really fast. Started slow due to the heavy load and later speed goes up to 104kb/s with 60.50 IP (1Mbps). Compressed @ 5.3GB. 7.38GB after install.

The keys only for weekend beta if im not mistaken. After that they will start giving out more keys. OR alternatively you can get the pre-order CD and get your access to the beta

Aion is more on its own. Its Quest driven + grind at later levels with epic RvR battles be it on land and air. I cant comment more since nothing can be judge just by watching gameplay videos.

Oh i didnt know they charging differently from Aion CN. Its RM30 for 90hours worth of gameplay here. It may be worth for some but not worth for those hardcore gamers
Anyway, i can give you guys some comments. I'm currently a level 38 tank class in Aion CN. The game is quite interesting and you can take up professions and there is no limit on how many you can take.
However, its not advisable to take up more than 2 since its very time and money consuming. And you can only get to expert level for 1 profession.
This game is not similar to Wow be it gameplay or graphics. At high levels the game will focus more on PvP. Every map is a PvP map where opposing side can come kill you.
I'll be glad to answer more questions if you guys need help. Just keep in mind that Aion CN client version might be different from the EU version therefore what i said might be different a bit

Some initial feedback. Server is at peak so the latency is quite obvious. Currently i am getting 400 ~ 520ms with 118.100 IP range. Since its early morning at the moment, i will login again at later time, around 9pm+
Gameplay overall is fun, well for a change, they defined the classes as it should be. The interface from my first impression, it have some similarities with Rappelz but what makes Aion shine is their skill chain.

Will be back with the latency result  Got to lvl 11 and the latency in 60.49 is slightly better but the rubberband effect isnt that frequent. Ping reading goes from 398ms to 440ms. Good news is, grinding will be really easy and the cap level is currently at 45. There will be surely a leveling race in NA server as lots of guild is claiming themselves as hardcore. The flying... oh its soooooooo nice
