The
Aion
Launch release notes have news that NCsoft is dropping the GameGuard
anti-cheating software in
Aion, addressing a major complaint from beta
testers. The GameGuard software is being removed to "provide the best possible
gaming experience," though they will "continue to pursue ways to effectively
utilize GameGuard within Aion in the future."
A separate update indicates another change in response to user feedback,
saying they are adding an Oceanic server for the launch of their fantasy-themed
MMORPG. This server is actually located in North America, but will have its time
zone adjusted to GMT+10, and will be labeled as an Oceanic server in a future
patch. Thanks
IncGamers.

I don't understand the hype/appeal. It's just another fantasy theme except everyone looks like an angel and can fly? Or what? Absolutely stumped as to the appeal.
It's Lineage 2 lite (somewhat less of a grind) with winged players, and possibly more polish since it's been out in Asia for a year.
I guess that appeals to some folks.
I'm not one of them.

As for Game Guard not installed at launch... it still means at some time you will be forced to install an exploitable root-kit that injects it's OWN code with root-level access into ALL running processes.
Everyone was up in arms about Starforce... GG is probably worse. I don't get why there isn't such an outrage like there was for Starforce.
Oh Well.
