September and Aion

So, after getting a new position at work I have not really had much time to update the blog. It is September which means Collette is about to turn 2 and there is about 1 month left until we enter freeze at work. I was going to post about the Aion Closed Beta a month or so back but I never really got around to it. I do have a Legion that is a merger of my Guildwars play group and my co-worker’s Lineage 2 buddies. After much deliberation we cam upon the Legion name of Aeterna Lux which means eternal light in Latin. Long story short between setting up servers at work, playing the beta, and helping set up a new legion website, the chamber has fallen by the wayside.

What is coming up you ask. On the 13th Collette will be 2 and she wants a baby doll over all other things. This Sunday is the start of the week long open beta for Aion (we get to play with our legion buddies this time) and Aion releases on the 22nd. It is going to be a fun month all around and a fast moving one at that.

So, in the next several days while I am on vacation I am going to work on adding a more definitive Aion section to the site and I will be adding links to the legion. Other than updating the website I am just going to relax and be glad that after two months of crazy effort things are getting back to a more manageable flow with work and everything else. 

I can’t really think of much else to say right now that would be exciting to anyone but me so I think I will work on the other parts of the site and get some more posts on the forum. Ok, the exciting thing only I really care about are I found out how to make my hosting service use PHP5 which let the auto update of wordpress run when it just broke and hung with PHP4 and they just removed the traffic quota on my hosting service so never will I risk having mass charges if more than the normal 6 people come to my site. I told you only I would care about that stuff.

Aion Obsession

So I have been tracking the news on Aion and discovered that they not only released information on the collectors edition but they announced that preorder packs with beta access are going to be available starting the 9th of this month (that’s next Tuesday). In digging further I found that they are already at some stores and after failing to find any in Minnesota we helped a friend track one down in Texas. We are awaiting the arrival of the key s locally so we can enjoy the beta goodness this weekend so I am excited.

I will admit I am getting ready to retire Guild Wars and move on but there are no MMO’s that have really looked that appealing. I am hoping Aion is as good as it sounds. I already started the client download. I guess only time will tell.

For those of you not in the know Aion is the new MMO from Ncsoft and has been in development since the second expansion of Guild Wars released. I am glad to see that it is finally coming.
