Are you ready?

If you plan to play Open Beta on Sunday, then at this point hopefully you have patched Aion up to 5.1.0.3 and patched gameguard. All this should happen automatically if you have installed the 1.5 patch, and keep running the launcher a few times. After all that, you should finally be able to launch the game to the splash screen where it asks for your account/password. Of course, if you actually type something in to those fields, you will get "Can't connect to the Authentication Server" and the game will close down.

Done and done.

All patcheed up here, can't wait to get back in-game!!

Don't forget that if you installed that nifty little DLL that disabled Gameguard like many of us did, thinking it would fix the "lag" problem for closed beta, you need to delete/rename it and re-run the patcher. Mine was named "winmm.dll".

Looks like you need to download a mini patch to 1.5 to 1.5.3 as well.

Also hoping they working on a better system at launch then the "your server is full of this race" message as explained on the beta launch notes.

Essentially they are stating if one race has too many players, they will stop ALL new players of that race from joining that server. That system is pretty stringent if it applies to retail launch and might make preselection vital to actually get on the server you want.

Anyway good time to try to find that class you want to play most for retail, don't forget pre-selection is in about 12 days from open beta, with retail three days behind that.
