Khyzar the Priest and Essia the Mage. I was a little impatient yesterday, but when I got up this morning everything was fine and I could create my 2 new Asmodian characters. Now I can’t wait to login. I gave myself a couple goals for the headstart:
- Reach a level between 10 & 15
- Get my 2 main crafting professions
- Adventure throughout the world
I know there’s only 3 goal, but I can’t play much so I try to give myself something I can achieve in the little time I have to play.

Essia the Mage
This is the start of a great journey on which I intend to make a lot of friends, and kill a lot of Elyos! (on Triniel…)

What a surprise I got this morning when I visited Aion’s official site. First, here’s the quote:
AION LAUNCH VERSION!
September 17, 2009 4:34 PM
Greetings!
As we draw closer to tomorrow I wanted to give everyone a brief update on the progress of our live version. We are excited to announce that we will be serving out the final update for you to patch within the next few hours. You will be able to use this version for both our Preselection and our Head Start. We are very excited with our final product and think that you will be as well! Below are the release notes for the patch you will see later today:
- Aion now features all three languages French, German and English. To select your language simply right click on Aion within your launcher and go to Properties->Language Options. Please select which languages you wish to download and which you wish Aion to display.
- After analyzing our open beta test results Aion will not feature GameGuard at launch. We will however continue to pursue ways to effectively utilize GameGuard within Aion in the future. Right now we’re focused on providing players with the best possible Aion experience.
- The level cap is now level 50 (previously 45).
- Players will be able to reserve 2 character names during Preselection and create 8 characters in total once Head Start begins and beyond.
- Channels will be set to 10 instances for the beginning 2 zones of each faction. Please note that these will be lowered as characters progress and spread throughout Atreia.

Did you see the part in bold ? No gameguard at launch, BUT they’ll put it back in the future. Gameguard as not given me any trouble with Aion so far, but I had my share of trouble with in in other games. We’ll see how it goes from here on.
Also, today, in less than 7 hours, is Pre-selection day! I’ve now chosen my name and I’m planning on taking my time creating my character. I have a day off today and it’s raining outside. I’ll post a screenshot of my character once it’s done here.
Today the guys over at the officil site posted a new articles giving more details about the pre-selection. Here’s the post:
Aion’s release is right around the corner, and our anticipation is running high! The beards and hairstyles of the character creator are groomed and lined up, jostling against each other in eagerness to be picked for your characters in this coming weekend’s Preselection and Head Start Programs.
Preselection is a benefit available to anyone who preordered Aion. If you are not sure whether or not you are eligible, simply log in to your NCsoft Master Account to verify that your game account is listed and your account type is notdesignated as “Beta”.
Starting 12:00 p.m. PDT (more) on September 18, 2009, eligible players will be able to start their game clients and log in to create a total of two characters ahead of everyone else. You can name and create these two characters through the standard character creator and be ready to play with these characters right when the game Head Start Program begins (but not beforehand). Preselection will end 9:00 a.m. PDT on September 20, 2009 (more).
Don’t miss this great opportunity to claim your character’s name before anyone else does. It isn’t too late to preorder, even if you have been holding out.
I’m surprised, I didn’t know we could create two characters. I just found my name for my chanter, and now I have to find another one. So make sure you’re account is not listed as beta on your NCsoft master account, if so you won’t be able to log in on the 18th and on the 20th for the headstart.
