Game is not available in your country! (Solution)
If you do, don't panic. The reason for this is simple. GameGaurd is updating their servers. This is what aion_liv had to say about it on Twitter. (Follow her and me if you're not already!)
GameGuard servers are being updated. U may see diff GG errors or "Game is not available in your country" while the servers are down. Once the update to the GameGuard server is complete the error should go away if you have the full Open Beta 1.5.0.3 update installed.
So, once again, if you're getting the "Game is not available in your country" error, don't panic and just wait it out and that's your solution

Welcome to The Aion Guy's Blog
I would like to welcome you to The Aion Guy's blog and my first blog post. This will be a small introduction of what you can expect on the blog.
On the blog you can expect the same thing you watched on the videos. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, head over to the Aion Videos section. But there is more. While you watch the videos, some things might be unclear to you. If you were on YouTube, you could leave a comment and hope I would notice it and give you an answer. If you however ask questions on the blog, you're 100% sure you get a reply from me. Don't you think I got the answer to your questions, then ask your question on the Aion Forums!
There is another bonus if you visit the blog after watching a video. In the videos you'll see me slow down the movie so you can see item stats. If you're lazy and can't be bothered to read it on the movie, you can come over to the blog and you'll find the items on the blog in a post with pictures in it.
Anyway, I'll keep it short. Enjoy the videos and if you have questions about anything, you can always ask it in a comment or on the forums.
