Hello everyone,

This post is a tutorial for all American, European, or basically anyone other then the Chinese that want to play in the Chinese Open Beta.

Before we start, go ahead and begin downloading this:

http://mini-patch.sdo.com/ctorrent/A…_9_5_0.torrent

*It will take you roughly 24-96 hours to complete this download, I run off a T1 (20MB DL / 10MB UP) internet connection and it took me 12 hours.

*This is the English Language Pack, once the game is installed, extract this and copy it into your L10N folder. That’s it, it automatically enables itself

Let’s get started….

Step 1
Register an SDO account

To register an account, go to this link, click here, and follow the instructions in the picture below.

Step 2
Add an CID (Chinese Identification Number) to your account

Look in the other thread in this section, READ ALL OF IT.

To enter a Chinese ID once you have one, please follow the instructions in the image below.

**If you have never logged into your account before, please use image A; if you have logged into your account before, please image B. (You most likely have logged in before when you originally created the account)

Image A

Image B

Once you have clicked the link on either of those pages, you will go to the page in the image below, click on the link in the red, outlined box.

Now that you are on the page where you input Chinese ID’s, please use the ID number you have either found or been provided, follow the picture below for instructions.

After you have inputed that information, you will be redirected to a page in the picture below. Once you are on this page, you have successfully added your Chinese ID to your account.

Step 3
Updating your client for game play

Now that you have the game downloaded and your account created, you are ready to install the game.

The first screen that appears before you install anything will be the following picture. These are the Chinese regions, you will want to click the SECOND region.

Go ahead and go through the installation process, it is a typical installer where the first button is ‘Back’, the second is ‘Next’, and the third is ‘Cancel’.
*Install time takes roughly 3-10 minutes depending on the quality of your PC.

Once the game is installed, please be sure to open up the launcher, you will see a screen like the following, click the button inside the red box in the picture below. Your game client will now begin to update, this process can take up to 45 minutes, please be patient.

Lastly, if your update fails, follow the link that is opened by the game and click on one of the two downloads.

Enjoy playing in the Aion China Open Beta.
