Many of you have been curious to learn what the names of the Aion servers will be at launch. We've listed the server names below along with their dedicated language. The servers times are set to GMT+1, Central Europe's prime time will therefore be in sync with their internal clock (e.g. affecting fortresses). Daylight saving will apply at launch.
We will provide English, French and German servers but before the start of preselection (which begins September 18, 2009), we will also give our fans from other regions the chance to take part in an online community poll where you can indicate what server you'd pick unofficially if you want to play with your friends and neighbors. We hope to show instant results in the poll so that you can see which server provides you the best chance to meet them.
We are going to post a similar community poll for roleplayers. We have decided not to officially tag servers as roleplaying servers and enforce specific rules on them. However, we do believe that roleplayers are an essential part of our community, and we support their initiative to claim their own unofficial roleplaying server. Aion gives you the ability to create your own chat channel, and we are already seeing a lot of roleplaying groups out there who are defining their own rules and building up their own communities. Take your time to organize your group before the poll goes live, and then pick the server that would give you the best chance to find players with the same roleplaying interests.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Atreia on one of these servers at launch!
