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.

No gameguard at launch, good for all those people who had problems with this .
I personally hope they will go for a different anti-hacking system, as GG seems to cause more problems then it solves.

Excellent news about no GG. Now I just need to get the new patch downloaded before pre-selection...

EDIT: In case someone didn't notice. It updates via the launcher instead of a link (in case I understood Livs twitter post correctly) --> source <-- (need to scroll down and click 'more')

Can i update from the beta client , or do i need to install another client first??

Ok, thanks

I hope there will be a manual patch, dl'ing at 20kbs is no fun.

Another question, i never understood how to calculate time zones, does anyone know the time and day for belgium pre-selection?

It's 21:00. If you click the (more) after the time on the official site it links you to a site with the time in other time zones

ah great , thank you
