This is right off the Aion website, go to www.aiononline.com ofr more info

The final noteworthy topic relates to beta keys. Many of you have wondered why we have been so restrictive in distributing them. We know many of you have guildmates or friends who would love to give the game a try before making a further commitment. To ensure that we had time to set our servers up properly and get rid of initial connectivity issues, we throttled the key giveaways and so that we could ramp the distribution up slowly but securely. We are now at a stage where we are confident enough to open this final beta phase up to a much broader audience by giving away North American open beta keys to everyone!FilePlanet is hosting this giveaway, and you will not need to be a paying subscriber in order to get your hands on one of the keys. FilePlanet also have a number of European keys to give away, so get them while they last! Many more European websites in different languages will also be offering European keys.

Annoying since I had to sign up to FP just to get mines. Anyway, where's the EU keys? They don't have those. I can't find the EU keys anywhere. I know Ensidia were giving some away but they're gone.

It's not exactly with a monthly fee. For Aion you buy a month to play the game, as in 24 hours x 30 days and you use up time for the game, so it'll last you a lot more than a month, well it could last you a month but that's only if you play 24/7 for 30 days. This is one of the things that should be used for all MMOs.

I thought they weren't using that subscription option for the NA release, only the standard $15/month.

Cool, thanks for the update. I kind of have my doubts about this game, but I might as well give it a try.

I don't know, I'm not really that interested in it, so I don't follow much of its updates but it would be stupid to change this system.

There are still EU keys at Eurogamer for those who want. About 3800 left. Just have to register, which is painless and free.

I haven't followed Aion at all....Is it not really a MMO, and actually a CORPG (Like Guild Wars)? A system like that just doesn't make much sense from the business end to me. Sure it would attract more customers, but they would make a ton of more profit doing the standard $15/month. It would be nice for the customers, especially for somebody like me, hell 720hrs would take me at least 6 months to go through and that's if I was playing it on a regular basis.

They don't check because I'm using the NA one and I'm from EU.

Thats how it works in China, but im 99% sure that it'll be $15 a month in the US/EU.

That is how it works and I know its not like that here in NA. It will be 15/m for it just like most other MMO's

Crap. I vowed after quitting WoW I would never touch another MMO. But people won't shut up about this game, and it's just a beta so it won't last that long anyway
*gets his free beta key*

I just wish my university didn't block torrent traffic. downloading a 9GB file plus a 3GB patch through some crappy direct download server is going to suck.

It's a good MMO but the combat system is a bit clumsier in the US version than in the Korean one. Hopefully they polish that up soon.

I have my beta key. Too bad the installer I got off of Fileplanet just kind of sits there and does nothing after a few minutes. I left it run for a whole hour, hoping beyond reason that eventually a "Next" button or something would show up.

The open beta version of the game is now patched to 1.5, the same exact versions the Koreans just got.

I know it is, but I'm consistently getting a half second delay and the mob movements aren't as fluid as I remember. Or maybe I just forgot how mobs move :P

I'm playing the game now, so far I'm loving it, alot of polish, the game looks great and combat is excelent. It took me about 1 week to get all the patches installed (very annoying) and I pre ordered the game from ebgames which got me the beta key. IMO Aion is a exelent game that I will spend alot of time on (but hopefully not get addicted).

So if you want to get a beta key, just pre order, try the game and if you dont like it, just cancel your order.

^- Im quiet sure there is about a 100 page thing that you sign when you preorder but to take it short: *Thou are not allowed to cancel the order for any beta reason (even if you don't like the game (yes thats a beta reason)). Anyway i have played for a while now but i will write abit more soon. But overall? 7.5 of 10 for me.
