We can easily predict that NCSoft's next MMORPG Aion will open for public beta testing by November - November 13th at latest.

November 13th is not only the day highschool students finish their university entrance exams, but it's also the first day of Gstar 2008 (largest game convention in Korea). Since it's rumoured that NCSoft is planning a large Gstar event for Aion which is said to include an 'open beta experience', it is most likely that open beta would start by this time.

Also, if NCsoft doesn't begin their OB by the beginning of November, Aion will have to go head to head against WoW's expansion title 'Wrath of the Lich King' which begins service on November 18th.

NCsoft is declining to give us details, saying only that "it is difficult to quote a specific date still. We are carefully considering our options."

Meanwhile, Blizzard Korea will not be participating in Gstar this year, concentrating instead on their homegrown Blizzcon which takes place in Anaheim California on Oct. 10th.
