Pre-ordering is kind of like buying tickets for a cruise on a ship that hasn't been built. I'd prefer to see it float first.

ummmm, you can cancel the pre-order you know? That logic is flawed.

Never ever pre order a MMO! Wait one or two weeks to see of it run stable on the server and wait till the first bugs getting fix. You will have a much better xp!!!

Like Mythic did with Warhammer, NCSoft is to a large extent limiting access to an early preview of the game to those who have already committed to buying it. To those like myself who are mildly interested and might decide to purchase the game if given such access, these sorts of marketing schemes are frustrating. I'd like to find out if Aion is the next MMO for me, but I won't pay for that privilege even if I can just as easily cancel a pre-order and get my money back.

Well then u r screwed, no one is forcing u to buy anything. I love how u guys take a hard line on the silly stuff yet stuff your face with fast-food, inhale cigarettes and booze while falling prey to the marketing of those companies. But video game marketing is considered unacceptable. Don't buy it, just read the previews online and/or wait.

You do know there is probably contests that will run to get into the "preview" right? And 5 bucks isn't exactly a commitment either. The NDA has dropped for the game, so people can talk all they want about it.
Besides, nothing stopping you from just canceling your pre-order if you don't like the game.

I'll correct myself real quick, NCSoft West dropped the NDA, not sure if that applies to Europe, but it isn't hard to find a site with Euro and NA players are on, so... eh.

Methinks Leshrac should get back under the bridge.

Maybe most of you dont know but Aion has been tested for years and is totally bug-free. The amazing graphics of the game might let u think that the servers are laggy and that the creators have thought only about the visual details of the game but if u have tried the Beta or even watched a gameplay video of the game you would soon find out that is not true and that there is no such thing as "lag" or "bug", no matter how populated the server is.
