Updated: Latest round of Aion server transfers botched

Subscription.

Transfer are free,with my guild we were supposed to move but looks like we will have to wait some more days.

No. ArenaNet = GW and GW2. NCsoft is, IIRC, just the publisher?

Arenanet may be the developer but it is wholly owned by NCsoft. Of course fans of GW and GW2 would have you ignore this fact because they love to hate NCsoft for whatever reason they can come up with.

ArenaNet created GW and now GW2. They are owned by NCSoft. ArenaNet runs GW worldwide. They are widely acknowledged to have done a very good job both creating and running Guild Wars.

Aion was created by the Aion team of NCSoft Korea. Aion is run by NCWest in North America and Europe. They are all owned by NCSoft. NCWest is widely acknowledged to have done a terrible job running Aion.

So, you take your chances that ArenaNet will continue to be in charge of all things GW and that NCWest will have nothing to do with it. But they are really just different divisions of NCSoft.

You can get an Aion trial from any active player (that has been playing 3 months and has some available), but...

The trial is so totally limited you won't get any real idea of the game from it. It is limited to 3 days OR 5 hours OR if you level a character to 7 (you can create 5 characters I think). That won't even get you out of the tutorial area or any real idea of what the classes are like. Let alone get you to the capital city or your wings.

They really should release a proper trial that would let you play some characters (say 4) to level 15, at the very least. Or maybe one character for a few weeks.

Mm i know but I'd still like to have a nose around, sadly i don't know any active players, i would just go out and buy it if i didn't hear so many bad things about it :\

Delayed isn't the right word, though. Trine herself on the Aion forums said there was an error.

NCSoft consistently making errors = the word botched.

Or: "Aion server transfers... botched again."

You've proven my point with your statement about NCSoft. You say they consistently make errors, but a lot of us think they make a pretty damn good game. I expect the kind of negativity displayed in this the title from the mmo players, but not from Massively. With the kind of bias in this article, I expect to see a new slogan: Massively - Fair and Balanced.

NCSoft does consistently make errors. They're also one of the most prolific and profitable MMO publishers in the world, which is why so many players are puzzled and upset how they can have so many problems over mergers and transfers. These are things that other MMOs do automatically and instantly.

Nevermind that most players are unhappy with the core game mechanics.

Feel free to enjoy the game, nobody here is going to make you stop or take away your subscription. Aion's sub numbers in Korea will ensure it continues to run for several years at a minimum. In the meantime, I (and many, many others) am happy I cancelled my sub after two months and articles like this just remind me that this was the right decision.
