NCsoft is teaming up with Alienware to light a fire under Aion's PvP game. While recent changes to rifting have curtailed much of the open-world conflict, the "red equals dead" mentality is alive and well in the Abyss. This weekend (November 5th to November 7th), bring your best gear and you could win one of three ATI Radeon 5850 graphics cards.
You'll need to register for the contest and then score 15 PvP kills before 9:00 pm Sunday to be eligible to win. You can also follow the competition via the Alienware Arena Competitors webpage. Check out the news posting on the official Aion website for all of the details and requirements.

With the small pool of Aion players I would guess the chances of winning aren't too bad either.

Maybe if "your" the kind of person who doesn't know the word is "you're" instead of "your", YOU'RE not the kind of person who should call anyone else "idiot". ;)

I'm not sure of what the actual subscriber numbers are, but I woiuld have to guess they're in the hundreds of thousands...the server I play on, Israphel is so packed/busy it doesn't even make sense, there isn't an area of the game that I visit that I don't see people everywhere

Look at the fan site (AionSource) player counts threads. Last I checked there were below the 100.000 mark in EU and NA. The game servers are not closed just because they have a bigger player base in Korea and because the potential bad publicity for future NCSoft MMOs like Blade and Soul if they close yet another MMO.

butthurt wowfanboy aside what Marklide said this is true.
Since carebear patch 2.0 the new gamers raised in numbers on western server and old ragequitter carebears came back and continued with joy where they raged before. Right now its even growing in numbers again with zones packed with players though it came at cost of PvP and realising dumbed down content like Blizzard is doing it regularily..
Should be easily back at size of EvE by now which is more than 300k big.
Financials and stable sales proof the game barely lost any player at all this whole year even before, even when wowfanboys and butthurt raquitter on ( Blizzard supported) fake "fan" forums like aionsource.com, (filled with 80% trollpost and hater who mostly didnt play the game since a year or at all and GMs supporting hater leaving them free room to act like asshats and attack player verbaly nonstop) tried to spread the rumor and impression its supposed to be tanking or failing. Sad some hater therfore even fall back to make up false information, twist some reports or make up bogus calculations to pretend they have a point.

To the Aion fanboys: Look at the last NCSoft financial report (page 17) from september 2010. Aion subscriptions globally are at 2.7mil down from 4.5 . Guess now from what regions are the majority of the 1.8mil lost subscriptions. The subscription retention in Korea is good less then 10% were lost so is clear that in NA/EU lost almost all the 1.2 mil subscriptions which was the peak box sale. Aion is below the 100.000 subscriptions mark in EU and NA regions.
