I know I'm going to sound like a broken record but the <a href="http://massively.com/tag/aion"><em>Aion</em></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/aion-beta">beta</a> is coming. Here at Massively Towers we've gone <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.aiononline.com/us/">Aion</a> </span> crazy since we <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/29/europe-getting-aion-beta-and-keys/">found out</a> about it and even gave away a <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/29/massivelys-european-aion-beta-key-giveaway/">batch of keys</a> to two hundred lucky readers. Yes, all around Europe and North America people are opening their inboxes to find magical golden (in a metaphorical sense) keys which allow them access -- however briefly -- to the mystical world of Atreia. <br /><br />The beta, which is taking place between Friday and Monday, is the first of an ongoing series and each will examine a specific aspect of gameplay. This first jaunt introduces the angelic Elyos and the starting zone of Eltnen, you will be able to level to 20 and try any of the four main classes (which then branch out into two subclasses as you level up).<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/04/aion-tower-of-eternity-prepping-for-the-beta/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Aion: Tower of Eternity: Preparing for the beta</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/04/aion-tower-of-eternity-prepping-for-the-beta/">Aion: Tower of Eternity: Preparing for the beta</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:00:00 EST.

Well <a href="http://twitter.com/aion_liv/status/2010861677">confirmation</a> came last night via the official <a href="http://twitter.com/aion_liv">NA Community</a> Twitter page that keys for this weekend's event are now being distributed to thousands of lucky testers who took part in numerous giveaways. But that's not all. A couple of hours later aion_liv <a href="http://twitter.com/aion_liv/status/2012412788">updated</a> with a link to yet another beta giveaway, this time at <a href="http://www.mmorpg.com">MMORPG.com</a> <a href="http://www.mmorpg.com/giveaways.cfm/offer/71/Aion-Closed-Beta-Test-Giveaway-NORTH-AMERICA.html">confirming</a> there will also be a US beta this weekend. However every one of the 5000 keys they were offering had gone in a matter of hours.<br /><br />US players will be able to take part in their own beta test which follows the same lines as the EU: the chance to roll an angelic Elyos and level from 1 to 20 while exploring the zone of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/12/ncsoft-reveals-eltnen-in-a-video-tour/">Eltnen</a>. The US beta will begin at 12 noon PST on Friday, June 5, 2009 and conclude at 12 midnight on Sunday, June 7, 2009. More information about entering the US beta and respective giveaways can be found on the game's NA <a href="http://www.aiononline.com/us/">official site</a>.<br /><br />If you use Twitter and don't yet have a key to either beta, don't fret as both the <a href="http://twitter.com/aion_liv">Liv</a> in the US and <a href="http://twitter.com/aion_ayase">Ayase</a> in the EU are tweeting about any beta giveaways so you might want to add them to your follower list, along with the game's producer <a href="http://twitter.com/aion_xaen">Brian Knox</a> and, for those in the EU, German Community manager <a href="http://twitter.com/aion_amboss">Martin Rabl</a>. If you have already entered a giveaway for a key - such as the one <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/29/massivelys-european-aion-beta-key-giveaway/">we held</a> earlier in the week - you might also want to keep one eye on your inbox and keep checking you spam folder just in case.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/03/aion-beta-keys-now-in-the-wild-us-beta-confirmed/">Aion beta keys now in the wild, US beta confirmed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 03 Jun 2009 09:30:00 EST.
