As we know, Aion will be released as a subscription-based game. But how much will it cost per month and how many types of cards will there be available?
Finally, yesterday NCsoft announced that Aion will start commercial service from November 25th, 2008 and there will be four types of prepaid game cards for choosing.
1-month card: 19,800 won (approximately 13.7 USD*), 300 hours for 30 days
3-month card: 47,520 won (approximately 32.9 USD), 900 hours for 90 days
3-hour card: 3000 won, (approximately 2 USD)
30-hour card: 12,000 won ((approximately 8.3 USD)
Compared to World of Warcraft and Lineage II currently operated in South Korea, Aion's 1-month and 3-month game cards are priced the same with World of Warcraft, while lower than Lineage II. However, it needs to be noted that there is not time limit for World of Warcraft's monthly cards, but Aion is otherwise.

NCsoft has announced that Aion will be entering open beta in Korea on November 11th, as the localization process continues with the western version.
The Aion team in Korea announced that Aion will be entering Open Beta in Korea
on November 11th. This is exciting news for us as well! Since the game has
entered its next phase in Korea, we thought we'd take a few minutes to explain
the status of Aion in the west. We are currently in the process of localizing
and culturalizing the game for the western market in order to reach the same
level of quality that the game provides and are in heavy planning for our
testing phases in North America and Europe. We are taking the utmost care in the
localization process and we're dedicated to releasing the very best product in
NCsoft West territories. With the ball now rolling, expect to hear much more,
and see much more out of Aion in the coming months.
