Aion dumps troublesome anti-cheat software GameGuard

As NCsoft prepares to launch the North American version of Aion next week, the fantasy MMO is still getting some last-minute changes before its official release. This week the game's official web site posted up word of those changes for the folks who have pre-ordered the game and will get to play Aion early.

There's been a few interesting changes in that final patch including a level cap raise from 45 to 50 and biggest of all the removal of GameGuard, the anti-cheating software that was a part of the game's beta test. However there were a ton of issues from players who had problems with GameGuard during the test so NCsoft took it out so they could give players "the best possible Aion experience." While it's likely they will try to put the software back in at some point, it's clear that NCsoft wants nothing to come in the way of the game during launch week.

GameGuard doesn't fucking work at all and gets into your system like a rootkit, well it IS a rootkit, so it won't be missed.Posted at 6:06PM on Sep 18th 2009 by Clyde Cash
