NCsoft has announced that its upcoming MMORPG, Aion, has received almost 400,000 pre-orders, wiping the floor with competing MMOs.
The game, which has already won several awards including Gamescom 2009's "Best Online Game", goes on sale next week. Players who have pre-ordered Aion get to pre-select their servers tomorrow, and have access to the servers from Sunday through the Headstart period.
Discover the immersive world of Aion in 2023, complete with deep crafting, aerial combat, and a unique flying system. Join one of two factions and explore the vast land of Atreia, where new challenges and updates await.
Would this be self promotion, I personally don't care but just wonder.
Gameforge and NCSOFT has just announced that they have launched the 7.2 ("Shadows Over Red Katalam") update for their fantasy MMORPG "AION".
DSOGaming writes: "Gameforge has released a comprehensive update for its fantasy MMORPG AION in Europe. As the press release reads, with the launch of version 7.0, Gameforge unlocks the new region of Dumaha with the PvE instance ‘Stella Development Laboratory’ and provides Artist class players with a second specialization to select."
nice going Aion
Most convincing evidence yet that Aion will fly off the shelves, literally :P
Not a surprise really. But how many of them will keep the game? And didn't Warhammer have, like, a million pre-orders?
That's similar to WoW back in the day when it started, right?
The momentum just keeps building for this.
