RMT Ads on Facebook

Ladies and Gents, we have a bit of a problem. It seems that Facebook is now taking money from RMT sites to advertise gold selling, account trading and the like.

One of these sites is player-auctions.com/aion-products/.

Your chance to ask a Community Manager!

Aion Oceanic has been given an opportunity to interview Andrew “Tamat“, one of our community managers. We would like to bring the community together on this opportunity and give you a chance to ask questions relating to our Aion community as a whole or Aion Online in general.

So if you have a question or questions in mind head over to our forums and drop them there. We would like to have all questions in by Saturday AEDST.

Thanks,
Tazm.

Aion Vision Trailer

It’s hard to put in words just how great this trailer is.

From what I can see they are ramping up the graphics, improving environments and spell details. Looks like they are also finally bringing in customisable building interiors as well as mounts. One of the things to take note of is how the player kills, or stuns the mob and is then able to mount it.

I’m not sure if it was just me or when a player was attacking both something in front and behind of them they were able to keep back both with what looked like normal sword swings. Same as the dragon’s tale pushing away the zaifs. Anyway, enough chat from me just watch it and you’ll see.

Early Christmas Present

After the servers came back online recently, players would have realised that NCSoft has removed 16,000 accounts from the game. This should give the legimate players a little more breathing room.

Please read the official post if you were unfairly removed from the game. Gold farmers/sellers need not apply.

On a side note I’d like to thank our resident admins Korthal, Darkpheonix and Spry as well as our dedicated member base. Without their help we would be like every other Oceanic fansite for Aion… closed.

Great work guys,

Tazm.

Pre-Selection Details.

NCSoft have released further information regarding the Pre-Selection process for the 18th.

Starting 12:00 p.m. PDT (more) on September 18, 2009, eligible players will be able to start their game clients and log in to create a total of two characters ahead of everyone else. You can name and create these two characters through the standard character creator and be ready to play with these characters right when the game Head Start Program begins (but not beforehand). Preselection will end 9:00 a.m. PDT on September 20, 2009 (more).

So running by those times we on the East Coast of Australia are looking at a 5am Start for the Pre-Select on Saturday 19th of September.

Let’s make sure we all jump in early and get our Characters made on Nezekan! However please remember that if you aren’t able to make a character straight away please do not run off to another Server, just wait until the Races balance and try again. It’s best to get the entire Oceanic Community in one big place instead of having us split over multiple Servers. Read Violences post regarding the Pre-Select here.

Let’s all jump in and get creating! I know i’ll be up at 5am to get my 2 characters created :D Hooray for a week off work!

Hit the jump for the full post.

NCSoft change their mind. Oceanic Server to be redecided.

So, it seems as though NCSoft made a ‘mistake’ when releasing the proposed full server list by flagging Zikel as a West Coast Time Server. As Zikel was voted in as the (un)Offical Oceanic Server through the voting over on AionAus with the help of the Oceanic community, this puts us in a bit of a pickle. Zikel is now flagged as East Coast Time, which quite frankly, doesn’t work for us. Not only do we have to do another Poll regarding Server Selection but we have to do it fast.

The (now) updated list is as follows:

  • [East] Azphel GMT-5
  • [East] Israphel GMT-5
  • [East] Lumiel GMT-5
  • [East] Marchutan GMT-5
  • [East] Triniel GMT-5
  • [East] Zikel GMT-5
  • [West] Ariel GMT-8
  • [West] Kaisinel GMT-8
  • [West] Nezekan GMT-8
  • [West] Siel GMT-8
  • [West] Vaizel GMT-8
  • [West] Yustiel GMT-8

So essentially we are left with a different set. A new vote will go out on Sunday 13/09/09 over on AionAus again to (once again) come to a decision. Our main three choices should be Ariel, Siel or Nezekan as they will have a much higher population in comparison to the others. I suggest having through a read of a post regarding the Oceanic Server Decision and make an educated decision based on what we know. We WANT to fit into a timeslot in which we can participate in the Dreadnaught Battles, and a West Coast timed Server will allow us to do exactly that. Please also read Violences post on what happens after Server Selection is made, this information is crucial to keeping a good healthy Oceanic Server alive.

Once again, read up, head on over, be present and make your vote Count! We need to take a majority vote to the ‘Official’ NCSoft Poll so as that those whom are Legionless will know where we should be headed!

Cheers :)

Zikel! (Un)Official Oceanic Server

Last night, as some of you may know, at around 8pm there was a vote made on the AionAus IRC regarding Oceanic Server selection. The vote was made by the dedicated Legion Leaders from the Aion Oceanic Community to select a server so as that we will all have a home come Live. The outcome of the Vote was tallied as follows (full transcript located here):

Zikel - 27
Siel - 4
Nezekan - 2
Israphel - 1
