    Ughh.. You don't want to play in this beta. Everything is fubar, for a lot of people. Insane lag, gameguard errors, authentication servers going up and down for no reason.
     
    It's working for some of the users, but for quite a few it's horrible. Personally I can play for 10 minutes, then gameguard crashes and Aion quits to desktop. Then when I try to log back in, it says the authentication servers are unreachable and Aion quits to desktop. Sounds like fun? :)
     
    It should be mentioned that everything was working perfectly in closed beta.

    More European open beta keys are on their way!

    September 8, 2009 1:30 PM

    Aion's open beta has been underway since last Sunday. While we had a few initial issues to defeat (minibosses!), the game is being honed to the point we want it to be-- the point where it plays just as sharp and smooth as an Asmodian Daeva's blade.

    We are getting ready to extend invitations to even more players so that more people who have not yet preorderedAion can enjoy the rich world of Atreia in all its open beta glory.

    Visit one of our following partners to have a chance of getting a beta serial code (a beta key). This new batch of beta serial codes is scheduled for distribution on Wednesday, September 9, 2009

    I didn't experience any of the problems you mentioned, it seemed fine.

    The beta forums are on fire atm with complaints. If you don't have any problems then I'd say you're quite lucky. It seems like most people do have problems though. Either with game guard, lag, crysystem.dll, bluescreens of death or other problems.

    @Noted: I played the US version awhile back (2 months probably) and aside from the GG issue (which I resolved with some quick research). and the ridiculously slow install I didn't have many issues.  But both of those problems could've been fixed if I would've been smart enough to just pre-order it from Steam instead of Gamestop.

    @SJSchmidt93: 
    I didn't have any issues in any of the 3 closed beta events i participated in either.
     
    Got a patch when I started Aion today, and other than the random server shutdowns and occational lag-spike, everything else seems to be working. Even managed to kill a level ?? templar with 2 level 20 buddies :p
