why it fail

mm let me see aoc ,war ,lotr and prob a bounch of other previous game

they all have the samer problem ,initial cost and fail

almost all player today are tired ofd spending from 45 to 80$ of initial cost +the 2 moth time card another 30 dollars just to find 3 month later that the game is almost dead 

now most go f2p route almost same fun bnut you dont have to spend from 75 to 120 $ at the beginning to know if its the style of game your willing to spend time in

most big name game tried time and time again in the past 3 years the nice graphic route it just isnt enough 

people want it all nice story nice pvp nice check wow when it lunched it wasnt the highest graphic hell everquest was looking better then wow but content in the game was top notych story as a big past 

you can literally read book of wow and see the lore etc 

aion is completelly the reverse of wow it looks very good but without a soul its just a shell 

add to that all the hack making this game an exact replica of counter strike 

could shoot trough wall even radio control bullet around wall lol 

hack will kill a great game very fast in p2p 

why ?

lol why would i pay 100 $ for aion and get cheated everywhere in the game when i can play any f2p and very often not get cheated

i can already say that a lot of player will skip aion and play directly guild wars 2 

guild wars was a way better game and right now is a better game then aion  gees and it 4 years old if  ncsoft use the same way they used for guild wars 

gw 2 will be a huge success

i m willing to bet it will do mutch better then aion in america

and lunch of diablo 3 is just too close people wont bother with aion why in september blizzard will lunch enough new feature to make their player wait till diablo3 or even f2p

lol its kind of weird they got all those people playing this game yet when you check on  xfire.com its so far in the listing i always wonder if its dead ,yet if you check another almost not played game like silkroad online its a very old game its always among the top mmo on xfire with gw and wow 

so maybe 3.5 million baugh aion but i doubt there are a lot playing if there was it woulf be amoung the top game in mmo section of xfire

im sorry but if its very far down the mmo list in xfire it does mean its a fail game in a lot of area in the world 

i would never suggest to buy aion or any other mmo p2p with the rank they got on xfire there are too many way better ranked f2p game in there to bother with the initial cost of a p2p game be it any game not6 just aion 

if the game is ranked no problem if it isnt mm i suggest to skip it

the OP should come to EVE, where our friendly community will show him just what it means to be in a hardcore pvp game :D

This game hasn't failed in other countries and thus won fail. It's already a success... sorry to dissapoint you.

The Emos of the world need to listen to "Sound of Madness"  I think there are to many depress people still living in their parents basement, who need a life!   Granted we had some piss poor releases in the last 2 years, I take that back LOTR had a smooth launch, but before a game is out people call it a fail.  I would also like to comment on these statements of Grind.  It seems if you have to walk across the  room to pick up an object it is a grind.  People, you do not know what a grind is unless you played the original Everquest with xp lost and hell levels.

Wait what? Aion failed?

Since when? I didn't got the memo.

compare it to silkroad online 

have you ever tried to go on a server in silkroad online ,lol dont you just can its always full anytime of day or night

i played wow 3 years and i never saw all server full never 

silkroad online as been full 18 hours a day for at least 3 year 

sro cather to the same area of the world as aion right now 

america almost dont play sro because of the impossiblity of getting online

imagine if joymax finally made progress and added anough server to get rid of the full server issue it would be an even bigger succes 

that will never happens lol sro probably got around 20 million people world wide waiting to play sro

wow never had that, neither did aion ever had all of their server full 18 hour a day since lunch

yes in america we might think the number of player playing sro is a lot but remember one thing asia is a big market 

just china and india alone make a market of 2.6 billion people so lets say only 5 % of  them are game witch is probably very conservative of me it s a 130 million gamer market  minimum right now

that why when you see sro or any f2p game out there in those area and compare aion im sorry but aion isnt a big succes for those market 

awww the big bad pvp ganker can't find a game of other pvp gankers; so he comes to the game which could have the next highest subs after WoW, wondering why they didn't make his big bad pvp ganking game instead. Come on joo tuul, Darkfall has "released" already. Go play that, unless you are afraid of getting ganked by some big bad pvping hacker. That's the great thing about games... always another one if you don't like the one you are playing. Wait nevermind, they only have one store in Salisbury, and its a severly understocked Wal-Mart, or so I heard.

mm xp lost might actually make game interesting today since we are all pro of thottbot ,or wiki lol

Fail? It hasn't realeased yet.

I think the OP is scared and insecure. He probably doesn't have fun like normal people.

If you label things, prepared to be labelled back

I totally agree, if you were a  hardcore gamer you should strive to battle, use tactics to win but if you lose there must be a price and xp lost and hells levels need to come back into the mmorpg games.  I think todays players are not as hardcore as they think!

I don't think it will fail, but me and wife are trying beta from preorder and she hates the look. i hope the plan to give the graphics a bit more the the WoW /guildwars + graphics. i was hoping for more like lineage 2 +++ . the game play seem very plain . i will still play it and see what higher levels have hope the they have great guild and hope for some form of guild if not player housing. If not then will be just another grindy game from the east...

 

I actually find the graphics quite nice, it seems like an amped up L2 graphics style. I am also enjoying the gameplay even though its nothing revolutionary or anything.

 

No way, not even in the same zone as L2, Aion is more like a water color painting not a living breathing world.

I guess we will have to just disagree here, I have played L2 on max settings and the graphics are not as good as Aion ( In my opinion).
 

edit: Now when I look at some screen shots from both games they are very similiar graphicaly. I must admit I did not play a lot of L2 and it was a long time ago.

interesting thought...Indians rarely play games, especially MMO's. 

In America we normally can afford to pay for our games, F2P not really necessary except for our youths.

Aion will do fine...... 20M players who pay almost nothing does not equal 1 million subs in the west in terms of revenue.

You can't really compare Aion to Silkroad. GT though

I'm pretty sure there are so many preorders in america already. this game won't fail.

First let me say that I have played SilkRoad. Not only is it terrible it's also full of bots. Tons and Tons of bots. It's no wonder it's hard to login with hundereds upon hundereds of bots running 24/7.

As far as 20 million, good for SRO *golf clap*. I'm glad so many people (and bots) are enjoying it.

And to compare a F2P to a P2P in countries where the vast majority of the populations do not have 24/7 internet access because they barely make enough money to buy food to survive is just, well, dumb.

Drak, those four words alone sums up this entire topic, well, at least the OP and a good half of the topic.

From what I understand, Silkroad servers are always full because of the bots.  Apparently, that's all that plays.  Just sayin....

 nha silkroad is popular there are lot of bot in all game not just silkroad

the main thing going for silkroad is the fact that it can be played on even very old dino computer

and this feature alone is what makes it so popular 

not a lot of people can afford our 3 year old computer in asia remember when they gain 1300 dollars a year in revenue they are very happy

so a game like silkroad is and will be popular for years to come

not that amrica will ever play it since its impossible to logon lol

Just put in about 8 hrs on the beta, my first one. It certainly isnt a WOW killer but i see it pulling in some subs at least for awhile and might do some damage to the LOTRO's and Warhammer's out there. I find the graphics nice, music is ok but nothing special. Game play is  pretty much what we all expected.  Havnt gotten into any pvp yet , just got my wings. Nothing earth shattering but its certainly not a failure either. Sorry OP, you might try trolling AionSource but doubt you will have much luck there either.

 grand your absolutly right it will hurt all the low pop game a lot more then say any very good rated game

resub wow for a 4 year
