The Brian Knox Interview on Massive Gamer Magazine is an online reproduction of their print interview with the producer on Aion: The Tower of Eternity, NCsoft's upcoming fantasy-themed MMORPG. One answer about beta testing in Korea talks about the global scope of this game, and also touches on the new reality that players no longer tend to forgive a game's shortcomings simply because it is in "beta," so they are taking care with their preview events: "Our goal has always been to be as globally-synced as possible. Aion is in the process of being localized into English, French, and German. This means millions of words are localized, which of course will take some extra time, but our goal is still a 2009 launch. As for beta testing, the market is changing and betas aren’t what they used to be. For better or worse, players judge your game based on your beta. We want to make sure that even during our internal beta testing that players are amazed by the level of polish in Aion. This high standard of quality is something we feel is very important and we intend on proving to the world when we launch our Exclusive Preview events in 2009 as a way of showcasing Aion as well as soliciting feedback."
