New Poll and Old Results

New Poll and Old Results

- 0 Comments
With a resounding "yes" victory, 423 of those questioned did indeed participate in the open beta. No surprises there, haha.

But now, with release merely hours away, all those who preordered got access to a two day head start.

So this week's question...just how much of a head start did you get?

As we count down the minutes to today's head start release at noon PST, players swarm the forums and frantically refresh twitter in hopes of being able to login and play immediately. Realistically, it won't be that smooth, but a small part of us is hoping that because this game has been out for so long that 400,000 pre-orders storming the gates at once shouldn't have any affect, right?

As usual, stay tuned to the Aion Tower for the up-to-the-minute action as we also frantically hammer the server, news sites, and twitter so that you don't have to.



Update 11:30 AM: - The servers have come down in preparation, so character preselection.is officially over.

Update 11:50 AM: - The NCSoft Loader is back up with a message to remind you to get your preorder items.

Update 12:08 PM: - Servers are up!

Update 2:45 PM - They're increasing queue size limit and discussing a more permanent solution (like more servers?)

Update 3:10 PM - Triniel is currently having login issues and Marchutan is hard down! All of the other servers are experiencing at least a 1 hour wait.

Update 3:30 PM - Marchutan is back up. Triniel continues to experience issues.

Update 4:30 PM - Triniel continues to experience connection and disconnection issues, but the server remains online as some players are able to play. A number of servers are experiencing severe latency in the starting areas as well.

Update 5:30 PM - As we move firmly into prime time, all servers are experiencing high load with over 2 hour waits being the norm. Marchutan is down again.

Update 5:41 PM - Marchutan is back up.

Update 7:10 PM - Azphel is down.

PalTalk and Worlds.com Sue NCSoft and Other MMO Companies

PalTalk and Worlds.com Sue NCSoft and Other MMO Companies

- 2 Comments

PalTalk, holders of two patents, one of which allows for chatting while playing an online game, recently filed a patent infringement lawsuit targeted at NCSoft, Blizzard Entertainment, Sony Online, Turbine Entertainment, and Jagex. PalTalk recently won an undisclosed amount from Microsoft's X-Box Live for a similar patent claim, and now looks to target all the big fishes for their cut of the MMO pie.

Additionally Worlds.com has filed a claim against NCSoft and Activision, parent company of World of Warcraft, for infringing on patents held for "scalable virtual worlds with thousands of users". If successful, they will no doubt target all of the other MMO companies for its share of the wealth.

Add these two babies to a long list of stupid patent lawsuits that have been fought in the last decade. Perhaps it is time to revisit our system?
