Aion

Well, the time has finally come, in a little less than a week, the Aion Open Beta will commence, this will last one week, from September 6th to September 13th. Open Beta will require a key to access, keys can be obtained two ways, you can pre-order the game, or you can subscribe to FilePlanet.

NC Soft will be making an announcement sometime this week about Aion moving into Open Beta before it's Sept 22nd release date. NC Soft recently wrapped up it's closed beta with their 6th Beta Event from August 14th - 17th.

Aion is an English port of the incredibly popular Korean MMO of the same name. The American developers have also done a lot to make the game more suited to a western audience, things like increased customization, turning "click to move" off by default and giving the keyboard layout the standard western treatment are just a few of the changes.
