If you're like me, you work all day, and feel like playing Aion when you get home. What you don't feel like doing is logging onto Aion and having to slog through 4 hours of queue. So here's what I did to work around that.
Go here:
LogMeIn
Install LogMeIn Free on your gaming PC. LMI is a free remote access program, and it is pretty awesome (in a totally biased, I-work-for-the-company pluggy kind of way). What this will let you do is log into your gaming rig from work, or from a laptop, or from an iPhone if you want to feel totally awesome and don't mind spending $30 on the app (plug-plug-plug-plug-plug).
Once you're in, launch Aion*, log into your account, and hopefully you'll be able to get in. Once in, plunk your ass down and load up your private store. Put something in there, and price it at something absurd (like a billion gold). The idle timeout on a private store is something like 26 hours, so you'll never get D/C'd from the server.
If there's a queue, don't despair! You'd have hit the queue regardless, and this way it bleeds into your commute home.
*Note: If you launch Aion and just get a black screen after the NC Soft logo comes up, go into the Preferences in LogMeIn, go to Remote Control settings, and disable the display accelerator. Reconnect to the PC, and you should see Aion fine.
Tune in next week, when I teach you how to fart on people on the bus, and make them feel like they're the asshole!
