Post in General Hardware, this isn't a spec me thread and you will probably get more/better responses.

 

[gw_gamer_luke]

ok thanks

Click for full size

If i had to spend £500 today for what you specced this is what i would get.

But i would much rather save my money to see how much I5 and the new graphics cards will cost.

 

[gw_gamer_luke]

ahh ok thanks very much

Thinking of cancelling my preorder because in all fairness the CE was a bit questionable

I say keep the CE pre-order and stick it on an auction site after you get it. With it being sold out long ago there's bound to be some hardcore Aion fan that missed out and wouldn't mind paying for it

just thought I would pop in here before the beta started.
Sorry guys majority of the keys have been put to oneside for when our US friends get in gear, were still waiting on an official comment on the whole regional and IP blocking situation.

Thats what I was thinking Timko but since the whole $10 upgrade to CE Im not sure if its worth it :/ plenty time to decide like.

I have 2 CEs and 2 Standards on order for me and another 12 for friends lol, my bank come release date Will need to notify bank too I think as theyre all in orders of 2 so we could use discount codes lol.

hmm that's a bit disapointing about the CE, payed £44 for the steam CE version. Ah well...

So starts at 8PM? Bring it on

Yes, here's a page with a count down and server up/down status...

The 8pm always seems a little wibbly wobbly...last time round for instance I was in playing at 7.30ish.

I e-mailed them and you need to have ordered before the 11th in order to receive the key.

 

[Tombstone]

Servers are up, just logged in.

Oh i see then, sucks that i missed out by 2 days

If anyone has a spare key i would appreciate it if i could use it.

 

[Fenris]

blimey, logged it, that was fast.

The codes are sent to them direct from NCSoft as needed (eg that online store receives 50 orders, NCSoft then send 50 keys) and so they don't have spares sitting around. Try it but I doubt you will be successful

 

[TheRedZealot]

I'm not going to bother after hearing what afoster told me, i thought they may have pre order packs like what i picked up or Guild Wars Eye of The north and what they are selling in certain american shops.
