Levels 1-20 were a lot of fun in War and were a lot of fun in AOC as well. Anyone remember how great those games were after 20? It has to be true, i have internet links. |

Well, in contrast, I did not find levels 1-20 that much fun in Aion or WAR. AoC was ok first time through, a bore after. However, if the end-game does dissapoint me, I just quit. There should be at least few months worth of entertainment in this package. The good thing is that Dragon Age: Origins comes out soon after as well. |

The OP and several others here have figured out what I discovered within the first 30 minutes of gameplay.
I suspect others will soon follow suit after the whole "sparkly shiney new MMO" syndrome wears off. Retired: WoW, AoC, LOTRO, FFXI, EQ2, TR, VG, COH Waiting for: FFXIV |

Aion is exactly what it was supposed to be, a Lineage II expansion pack (honestly that was what it was supposed to be).
Too bad, I love me some MMOG adn there are not to play right now. |

Yeah we pretty much have a different idea on what we want in an MMO. Games such as Baldur's Gate are wonderful though, easily my favorite RPG of all time (number II). Of course the issue is that you can't easily translate quests like BG2 had into an MMO field. But yeah, for a gamer like me I just wanted you to realize is this is the kind of game we have been waiting on for a while now. Heavy roleplayers will probably have to wait for an MMO with more immersion to come out.
Four preview weekends so far and still loving it. Just because it isn't your kind of game doesn't mean others don't like it.

Be that as it may, it's plain to see that it is going to lack staying power for quite a few players. Trying to deny the fact is folly. If a goodly number of people are sick of it after four beta weekends, what about in 3 months after release? I just don't think it brings enough to the table to keep half its numbers playing for more than a few months, at most. Retired: WoW, AoC, LOTRO, FFXI, EQ2, TR, VG, COH Waiting for: FFXIV |

Most of the people I've seen that dislike the game are disgruntled vets who want something "different". MMORPG.com is filled with those kind of players. Most of the people here hate WoW as well, but that game also seems to be holding out just fine :).

honestly its very different from wow, slower lvling and grouping is better than solo. its plays more like eq1 for me, not as bad as leveling but deffinit;y slower than WoW. its hilarious, we finally don't get another WoW clone, and people are complaining it levels too slow..lol starting to think people just like to bitch. |

Originally posted by abyss610 All you offer to disprove the 'WoW clone' myth is slower leveling (which is a negative) and more importance to grouping (which is often an inconvenience)? Whoopie, sign me up! /sarcasm |

Don't throw out words like "unpoloshed and buggy" in Aion forum. As I saw you are coming from WAR and maybe those words are "perfect" over there, but not here. Is this your own personal forum? Do you have moderation power here? Perhaps you need to rephrase that proclamation.

Originally posted by grandpagamer WAR sucked after L20. Are you giving Aion credit for getting to the suck right at the start? The worse the initial leveling experience is, the fewer people will do it with alts. Which means after a while, the lower levels will be less populated and that grouping will be more inconvenient. So, what's end game in Aion like?

Is that all you can say? Yes, maybe I didn't say it right, but you know what I was trying to say. Now tell me, did you ever tried Aion? ( I am not gonna read all of your posts to figure it out if you did ). EDIT to : So, what's end game in Aion like? Is like the second time when you asked this. Did you read my last posts? I explained you there , so if you want to know how Aion end game is, FGI . |

I'm guessing that you haven't played end game, which means you don't know what it's like. Why not just admit it? Talk is cheap. I had an Elder tester tell me at WAR's release not to worry about end game. That it was just fine and working properly. Why do people make their games a religion?
"FGI"? |

Aion's endgame is being played by 4 million people in asia at moment, a year after being released and sub numbers are increasing. I dont think WAR ever had that luxury .... comparing apples and oranges is fun isn't it? Aion Gives you Wings!!! |

Oh you're right. Only rabid fanbois should be allowed to beta test a game. That way the devs only get shining reviews and nothing ever gets fixed if the game itself is rotten or needs work.
Yeah.... great idea!

That would be the dream of any business man. The blind sheep who would buy just about anything without moaning.

I dont think WAR ever had that luxury .... comparing apples and oranges is fun isn't it? Millions of people are playing WoW's end game. It doesn't appeal to me. I want to know what it's like, not how many people appear to like it. |

Your right, all game companies should suck people in with the meat of the game being in the first 20 levels and an empty experience after that. lol you sir are hilarious with your logic. It has to be true, i have internet links. |

You can't compare the Eastern audience with the Western, i am pretty sure there are mmos in Asia that are played allot more then AION. Just take Lineage 2 for example, there are 1 million accounts worldwide but only 80k are from the west, so the general gameplay tastes seem to differ entirely. Yes i know that AION was made to appeal to both hemispheres but something tells me that this ain't true. Especially the storyline turned me off. I remember i rolled my eyes when i saw the first cut scene in the Elyos zone and it doesn't get better after it. I can't wait till people actually get to the pvp part and start to calculate how long it takes to gain 1 piece of armor. If you remember WoW PvP grind at start (High Warlord took your life away) imagine it 10x worse.

Or they could, you know, make a solid game start to finish. *GASP* The concept!! Ohnoes! Retired: WoW, AoC, LOTRO, FFXI, EQ2, TR, VG, COH Waiting for: FFXIV |
