Translated FAQ on Aion: Tower of Eternity

Greetings to the Aion community,

As of October 30th 6AM, we have begun offering character reservations on the first five open beta servers.You can now create your character on one of the following servers: Siel, Israphel, Nezakan, Jikel, and Baizel.Depending on the population and racial balance of each server, we may limit certain racial selections or add more servers.

We advise that you check to see the server status section on the website before creating your character through the client.

The following FAQ should answer a lot of the questions you may have during this process.

Pre-OBT Character Creation FAQ

Q: What is 'Pre-OBT Character Creation', and why should I do it?

A: Pre-OBT Character Creation allows you to decide on a server/race/class/customization/name before we begin the Open Beta Test period. We decided to provide this service to ensure that each of the servers begin with a healthy balance between the two races while making sure that players could plan their server choices together, so that all players could enjoy an optimal RvR experience. By taking advantage of this opportunity, you will be able to reserve your character's name on a server of your choice, as well as getting a taste of Aion's character editor. Keep in mind, however, that you will not be able to play the actual game until Open Beta begins on November 11th.

Q: How do I participate?

A: You can check the current status of all servers on the Pre-OBT Status section of the website. Once you've decided on a server with your friends and guildmates, you can download the Open Beta client and select your server and race. If the server you've chosen is full, you may be asked to create your character on a different server. If the server has a high imbalance between the races, character creation may be disabled on a race until the ratio gets normalized. After choosing your server and race, you can proceed to choose a class for your character, customize its appearance, and then reserve a unique name for it. This name will be used to represent you on Aion forums so please decide carefully. (Only one character can be created per account during the Pre-OBT phase.)

Q: What are the names of the servers and when do they open?

A: We are planning to launch 12 servers in the following order.
*Siel, Israphel, Nezakan, Jikel, Baizel
*Once the first five reach capacity, additional servers will open up in the following order: Triniel, Kaithiel, Lumiel, Usthiel, Markutan, Ariel, Asphel

In the case that all 12 servers reach capacity, preparations have been made to launch additional servers as needed.

Q: Can I switch servers during the Pre-OBT period?

A: Yes, during this period you can delete and re-create your character as many times as needed. In this way you can create your character on a different server if you wish to switch. However, the name you chose for the deleted character will not be available for use for 5 minutes following the delete.

Q: If I delete a character from a server that has had character creation disabled (due to population), can I remake my character on that same server?

A: No. Once character creation is disabled on a server you cannot delete and remake your character.

Thank you.

All digital, Filipino-made animated film due November

MAKATI CITY, Philippines -- An all-Filipino production team is scheduled to come out with a full-feature animation film done using digital animation technology, its director told INQUIRER.net.

"We've been called crazy before. But the animation industry in the Philippines is two decades old. We've been doing outsourcing, so Filipino talent has gone unacknowledged. Recently there's been a clamor for original content," said Robert Quilao, director of Dayo, a full-feature animated film that feature the story of an 11-year-old kid named Bubuy.

The story revolves around Bubuy who has to save his grandparents who were abducted and brought to the strange land called Elementalia, which is home to a host of strange creatures.

Quilao said the animated film is expected to become ready by October or November, a year after production started.

Thanks to digital technology, Quilao stressed that the production cost was a fraction of what Hollywood-based animated films would spend.

Dayo, which would roughly cost over $1 million, is the third full-feature animated movie in the country, Quilao said.

"We're not the first. Ibong Adarna and Urduja, which is set to come out in June, came out before ours," Quilao said. But he noted that Dayo is perhaps the first Filipino full-feature animated film that is an all-digital production.

From the storyboard to the editing, Dayo used digital animation technology. Traditional animation production involves artists drawing the action that would be animated on paper. Quilao said the animation of Dayo was all done digitally, with artists doing digital storyboards from the very start.

"But the drawing process is not automated. It is still drawn. Our technology, however, allows you to directly draw on screen. Thus we call it 'tra-digital' animation," he added.

The voice talents or actors behind Dayo are also Filipino. Filipino directors Peque Gallaga and Laurice Guillen are among the local voices featured in the animated film. Gallaga will be the voice behind the character Nano, while Guillen will play a diwata.

Voices of child stars Nash Aguas as Bubuy and Katrina "Hopia" Legaspi as Anna Manananggal are also featured in the animated film, along with comedian Michael V as Narsi, and actor Johnny Delgado as Anna's father.

Dayo is a production of local advertising company Cutting Edge Productions, which has been doing TV commercials among other projects.

Set for release this holiday season, the $1 million digital production is the third full-length, original animated feature to come out of the country.

Directed by Robert Quilao, Dayo revolves around a boy named Bubuy, who must rescue his abducted grandparents. His quest leads him to Elementalia, a strange land inhabited by bizarre creatures. The voice cast includes child stars Nash Aguas and Katrina "Hopia" Legaspi, along with comedian Michael V and actor Johnny Delgado.
