Details on Aion Launch Version: GameGuard Out

In a recent news post several details were revealed about the Aion launch version. Most notable is no doubt the decision to strip GameGuard from it.

As many of you noticed GameGuard caused more than a few problems during the open beta for countless players. It was mentioned awhile ago GG will be either improved or removed before launch, and it looks like NCsoft decided on the latter. It’s definitely one of the best news we’ve seen in awhile, and there was plenty of good ones.

I must admit I never thought it will come to this, but it’s good to see NCsoft care. Looks like they’re fighting for as many players as possible and I wouldn’t expect anything less. Let’s just hope they can come up with a better alternative before things get out of hand.

Here’s the rest of the news:

• Aion now features all three languages French, German and English. To select your language simply right click on Aion within your launcher and go to Properties->Language Options. Please select which languages you wish to download and which you wish Aion to display.
• The level cap is now level 50 (previously 45).
• Players will be able to reserve 2 character names during Preselection and create 8 characters in total once Head Start begins and beyond.
• Channels will be set to 10 instances for the beginning 2 zones of each faction. Please note that these will be lowered as characters progress and spread throughout Atreia.
