[PC] Aion Open Beta

I was hoping for something more Sci-Fi.

Still, I'll give it a go. Do you know if the number of keys is limited?

EDIT: Stupid question! They must be, if you're going to try and get some for people who miss the chance.

Looks interesting... I've got a fair bit of free time for the next few weeks, I'll see if I can get in on it. Do you have to pay for a fileplanet "exclusive membership" (or whatever it's called) to get a key?

I certainly hope not. I doubt it. Curse will probably distribute keys, too. I have a free premium membership there, so...

So what exactly do we need to do to get keys? I'm lost.

As added extra spice, FilePlanet will--in addition to distributing the client--be giving away a load of open beta keys starting on Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Get on the starting line if you do not have an eligible Aion account already! Eligible accounts include any previous closed beta participants and those who have preordered or prepurchased Aion.

Edit:

According to http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/aion/, you need to be a file planet subscriber. In that case, you're better off going to your local game store and buying the pre-order package for $5 (it counts as a $5 discount toward the actual game when you pick up the game). Of course, file planet may be hiding intentions to give away remaining keys to anyone once the paying customers have first pick. Also, with as many people as there were offering closed beta codes, it doesn't make sense that file planet is the only one with open beta codes

As I thought, it's not truly File Planet exclusive.

You say you've got a key(s) coming because you already preordered. How does this work... does the preorder have a cd-key in it that will in turn get you a beta key?
